Nacho was arrested, booked, released, and given a future court date to appear.
The CHP (California Highway Patrol) Officer said something that can and should do him in, in court: that "he believed De La Fuente was speeding" and that the officer "noticed impairment."
So, let's see here.
First, the CHP officer didn't have a speed gun to have evidence to back his claim of speeding. Second, the officer didn't have a Breathalyzer to record Ignacio's blood - alcohol level to back his claim that Ignacio was "impaired."
What the hell was this CHP officer doing? No speed gun. No Breathalyzer. And he just hauls Ignacio in, anyway. Near Christmas.
Nuts.
I don't care - not a big rats butt - if it happens to everyone; it's not supposed to happen to anyone. So, for those of you who applaud this news, don't. Stop supporting a screwed up system just because you love to see bad things happen to good people.
If the Alameda County Superior Court judges are worth the votes it took to get them into office, this case should be dismissed. It damn well better be.
It should be against the law for any officer to make a DUI arrest without instrument record to back his or her claim. That's just wrong.
Maybe now that Ignacio's got a taste for this crap, as I do, he'll become an advocate for a better system. The one California has in place is nothing more than a money-mill to maintain a California prison-industrial system.
Merry Christmas and don't drink and drive. Let's have a weekend where the cops have a ZERO arrest record. Don't give any CHP officer an excuse to arrest you. Oakland police have better things to do.
Get a limo, like I did in this video:
Unbelievable... you excuse this reckless behavior?
ReplyDeleteI enjoy my cocktails, but I am no where near as stupid as Ignacio, father of a rapist, dumbtard who negotiated a really bad deal for Oakland (bringing the trader raiders back from LA), the same man who couldn't follow debate rules during his first run as mayor (and thankfully lost)...
You call this sad news? I think it's great news the drunk didn't kill anyone on Christmas Eve.
He got off lucky being released to his wife instead of being sent to jail.
Oh and sweetcheeks - ALL CHP units are equip with speed equipment, CHP officers are not Barney Fiff and are trained far better than the typical street cop.
Ignacio, the same dumba$$ who push a $350/year partial tax... as a home owner, a tax payer... he need to resign from office. He and his fellow councilman are bankrupting this city.
A sad day? No hon... he's a loser and behaves like a lose.
