    Default Cop gets DWI but for saftey reasons he is not taken to jail..WTF

    My first thought when I started to read the article was no big deal. Then reading that his ass was not taken to jail for his own safety !

    Detective Chavez was not booked into jail but instead was issued a citation and released. Gonzales says that is generally an accepted practice when law enforcement officers are detained for relatively minor crimes to protect their safety.
    Two problems with this. First, DUI isn't a "minor crime".

    Second, it may be "accepted practice" in Mexico, but not in anywhere that I've ever worked. Dallas and Fort Worth officers get arrested for DUI almost weekly here, and they always go to jail.

    x2.

    You and I both know that the odds of him beating this charge are greatly in his favor because he was
    let go on the scene of his arrest. What a sweet deal. All this does is create another source of dislike for cops
    in the community. I do not blame the public for this one its bullsh1t.
