And he got it. It remains to be seen if his punishment will also be lenient.

Lt. Brian Filipiak, 47, was found to have a blood-alcohol level more than three times the legal limit for driving.

Body camera footage of the arrest showed Filipiak resisted arrest that day and his arresting officer stated in his report that "Brian would try and use that he is a Lieutenant for the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office to try and persuade me by letting him go (sic)."

Good. I help buddies out at work too.

This again? A misd for drunk driving isnt special treatment. Thats the same charge anyone else would get with a .17, hell thats pretty low I had a chick blow .28. A motor cop i know has had in the .40s. There isnt extra charges based on how drunk you are. Idiots

A DUI is a slap on the wrist really. He should lose his job, though. Oh well. Karma is a bitch.

No charges for resisting arrest. Charges, you and I (assuming you're not a cop) would have gotten.

and that type of thinking is why hes a full blown alcoholic


jesus fuk

Its a slap on the wrist for everybody, why should a cop get more sever punishment? Hell he will probably get a 22 to 30 suspension where as a joe blow citizen would not

Rock bottom theory.

Alcoholics who don't think they have a problem will continue their downwards spiral until they hit rock bottom...... and only then will they realize they need help.

Uncooperative does not equal resisting arrest...

Oh the irony.

"Michigan's legal limit for blood-alcohol content while driving is 0.08 percent, and stiffer penalties are in place for those who have a blood-alcohol level of 0.17 or more under the state's so-called "super drunk" driving law."

[nutsy54]

Who cares what this scum "begged" for? He was arrested, charged, placed on unpaid leave, and is awaiting trial and the results of an internal investigation.

[dhawkeye1980]

He was still charged under the law so what special treatment did he get? .17 isnt even that bad like i said

He should lose his job.

Do we get more severe punishment for attacking a cop? Yes. Therefore, they should get more severe punishment for violating the law. Can't have it both ways, son.

Filipiak registered a blood-alcohol level of 0.28 and 0.27 percent on breath tests, according to the report. Is that high enough for you?

[dhawkeye1980]

Those are completely different things you chump

[SwollNMember]

an internal investigation.

Where's my internal investigation if I break the law? Special treatment for LEOs. Another reason to not respect the law.

[SwollNMember]

Agreed. However, people are charged with resisting for not being cooperative. Can't have it both ways.

None. I didn't say he did. Referring to your post calling others idiots when your statement is clearly contradictory to the local laws stated in the article.

My statement was in regards ti soecial treatment, which he did not receive

Shut the fuk up dickwad. Everybody knows that any non-cop would of been violently pulled from the car and tasered within 2 minutes of refusing to get out. Instead your fellow piggy had a 10 min "I don't wanna" chat before the taser finally got pulled and he was only threatened with it. From that point forward they continued to treat him much more preferentially than they would any citizen.

The only reason he got arrested and charged with anything was because the cameras were rolling.

So women should also get punished more severely for breaking the law?
Or children?
Or the handicapped?
Or the elderly?

[StarFox]

He should lose his job.

I know you know about DUIs bruh

No we actually try to plead and beg people to cooperate on the regular.

So much ignorance ITT

I have zero DUIs and I don't plan on ever getting one because I'm not retarded.

It's actually one of the worst things you can get. Your vehicle is impounded, tons of tickets, your license is suspended, etc. That's why it's profitable to become a DUI lawyer, you can go to court on it for up to 2-3 years fighting the case.

[Dave22reborn]

Court is your investigation. He'll be going to court and having to deal with Internal Affairs as well.

It is a pain in the ass court wise, yeah. But most of the time, charges get lessened and records get expunged.
