00:00Cops have to arrest all different types of people.

00:02However, what happens when it's a cop's own boss that he has to put in handcuffs?

00:07There's things that we can do to fix this, but, uh, you know...

00:10Here are four examples of this incredibly rare situation,

00:13starting with the case of Michael Yarbrough.

00:15On June 20th, 2023, a Georgia police officer pulled over a Dodge Charger

00:20that was going way over the 35-mile-an-hour speed limit.

00:23However, when he walked up to the window, he got a huge surprise.

00:27Really?

00:35The man behind the wheel was chief deputy of the local PD, Michael Yarbrough,

00:40not the person this officer expected to pull over.

00:43But in reality, this changes nothing,

00:45and the officer asks Yarbrough to give over his license and registration,

00:49something he's not pleased with at all.

00:52Guess who I just pulled over?

00:54Who?

00:55Yarbrough.

00:57Yeah, the chief deputy driving a f***ing Dodge Charger,

00:59a souped-up Dodge Charger that belongs to the sheriff's office.

01:02I just clocked this f***ing 96 in a 35.

01:08No, no reason. He's in an unmarked f***ing car.

01:10He just got a high horsepower car and decided he wanted to play.

01:19Okay, well, you know I don't care for him, so I'm gonna ride his f***ing car.

01:23If body cams weren't around, this stop could have gone a totally different way.

01:27But it seems like this officer isn't the biggest fan of Yarbrough

01:31and decides to issue him a citation for speeding.

01:34For some, handing your boss a $500 fine is a dream come true,

01:38and it looks like it's the same way for this officer.

01:40Sir, here's your ID back.

01:42This is your copy of the citation.

01:45If you would sign right here.

01:46It's got a court date, time, it's a must-appear.

01:51Please slow down and have a safe day.

01:53In Georgia, speeding tickets are priced based on how much you're exceeding the speed limit.

01:58For example, if you're over 24 miles an hour over, you're looking at $500 in fines.

02:03However, there's an extra super speeder charge you're liable to

02:07if you're going as fast as Yarbrough was.

02:09But it looks like this officer decided to mess with his boss even more,

02:12as this ticket excluded the extra fee but instead required him to appear in court.

02:17After the incident, Yarbrough was also suspended for 40 hours without pay.

02:22However, that's just a fraction of what Corporal Scott Birdsick was hit with

02:26after crashing his car while drunk.

02:46Obviously, Brooke and Scott are familiar with each other,

02:48and curiously, Scott holds nothing back when describing exactly how the incident went down.

02:54It's clear that Scott is the one at fault here, so before going any further,

02:58Brooke decides to call back to the base to

03:00ask whether or not it's okay for her to be handling this incident.

03:03This crash, um, Birdie, ESO come work it?

03:06Okay.

03:07I can't remember.

03:08It's been a long time since I've worked a crash with one of us in it, so...

03:11No, he's not on duty.

03:12He's in his POV.

03:14I just didn't want there to be any, like, conflict of interest type issues.

03:18All right, that was it.

03:19I just wanted to make sure.

03:20Yay, bye.

03:23Damn it, Birdie.

03:25Brooke is given the go-ahead and told that there should be no issues with her handling this case,

03:29but that was before she noticed this.

03:32You good?

03:33Yeah, I'm awake.

03:34Huh?

03:35Way down this way.

03:36He's not coming.

03:39Good?

03:40Walking home, but yep, I'm good.

03:42So, Birdie, you giving me some indicators?

03:47Oh.

03:48Listen, listen.

03:50Listen, Valdez is coming out just to...

03:55I'm not gonna lie to you about it.

03:56She's on her way?

03:57Yeah, she's on her way.

03:59I'm not really comfortable with this whole thing at all,

04:01but I'm not gonna lie to you about it.

04:03Oh no, I don't mean to put you in any...

04:07Yep.

04:08From now on, you know how it goes.

04:09You can't consume anything, okay?

04:11Because right now, you're being detained.

04:14Like what?

04:15It's obvious that Scott is under the influence of something.

04:19Judging by his slurred speech, slowed reactions, and slight loss of motor control,

04:24Brooke is fairly sure he's been drinking.

04:27At this point, Scott is no longer her supervisor.

04:30He's just a suspect in a case.

04:32And what's more, he's drunk and likely unpredictable,

04:36a combination which can be incredibly threatening to a female officer.

04:40Please don't make my life difficult.

04:43I would never do that to you.

04:44Okay, I'm very uncomfortable right now.

04:48And I apologize for putting you in that position.

04:52Are you on?

04:53Yes, yes I am.

04:54And I'm going to remain on.

04:57Integrity.

05:03You know you can't smoke right now.

05:05Why?

05:06Because if I'm going to do a DUI investigation,

05:08it impedes it so you can't consume anything.

05:10I want to get that dog.

05:15That is a really cute dog.

05:17Fear aggression issue.

05:20You can always train a dog.

05:23You can't consume anything.

05:26You're killing me.

05:28I'm trying.

05:30It's too late now.

05:34After a short wait, another officer arrives at the scene,

05:37meaning they can finally start getting to the bottom of all of this with some sobriety tests.

05:42These lasted over 10 minutes,

05:44but it's not hard to tell how they went by just looking at a few seconds of them.

05:48You may begin the test.

05:51One, two, three.

06:01Judging by this and the overwhelming amounts of evidence against him at this point,

06:05the officers thought it was safe to conclude that Scott had been drinking that night

06:09and decided it was time to put him in cuffs.

06:12Something he was far from happy about.

06:14There's things that we can do to fix this.

06:28Despite Scott being one of the most polite and respectful suspects ever on this channel,

06:32he was actually hit with a better sentence than the majority of criminal cops.

06:36After blowing a .156 back at the station,

06:39he was charged with driving under the influence and damaging property.

06:43He was ordered to pay just under $1,000 in fines,

06:46serve 50 hours of community service,

06:48and take multiple substance abuse and DUI classes,

06:51and had his driver's license suspended for six months.

06:55He was also sued by the driver of the vehicle he hit,

06:58and a cash settlement was reached.

07:00And on top of all of that, he also was suspended without pay for a week

07:04and given a last chance agreement,

07:06meaning one more slip-up and he was out for good.

07:09Realistically, that's exactly how one of these cases should be handled.

07:13But when New Mexico police were put in the same position,

07:16they instead showed just how corrupt America's cops can be.

07:23This cop pulled over a truck in Lordsburg after suspecting the driver may have been drinking.

07:28However, after walking up to the window,

07:30he was hit with a wave of shock and disappointment.

07:41The driver was the city's mayor,

07:43and this was the third time she's been pulled over for this exact offense.

07:48And what's worse, she was driving like this with her foster child in the car.

07:58Just be quiet.

07:59The cops are now in an extremely awkward position,

08:02but after a short chat,

08:03they decide that they should proceed with the stop normally and do their jobs,

08:07at least for now.

08:08Hey, Glenda, you might step in another vehicle

08:10where we both would be picking her up on my unicycle.

08:12Yep.

08:13How much would you like?

08:16Three or four.

08:17Three or four?

08:18Okay.

08:18Yeah.

08:19As Glenda exited the vehicle,

08:21both of the officers noticed a strong smell of alcohol on her,

08:24and she quickly admitted to having a few drinks that night.

08:27Her slow speech and movement implies that she's definitely over the legal limit to drive,

08:32but this is the third time she's been pulled over for driving drunk.

08:35Will this really be the time she's punished for it?

08:38This officer certainly thinks there's a chance.

08:40Let me just get him home.

08:42Get who?

08:43Hit him.

08:44You know I'm the type of cop that doesn't give breaks.

08:46Okay?

08:47You're the type of cop that what?

08:49That doesn't give breaks.

08:50When I approached the vehicle,

08:51I did notice an awful odor of alcohol coming from the car,

08:54from alcohol coming from inside the vehicle.

08:55When I observed you walk out,

08:57you were kind of swerving all over the place, okay?

09:01And then right now you're just,

09:02as you're standing,

09:03you're kind of swaying side to side.

09:04Thing is,

09:05you're the mayor,

09:06okay?

09:07I'm your employee.

09:08It doesn't matter.

09:09I'm your employee.

09:10Now that you're standing downwind,

09:11I can smell it.

09:13Okay?

09:14I'm not denying it.

09:15Yeah, we can smell it on you,

09:16and the way you got out of your vehicle,

09:18Glenda, it's not good.

09:19As the officer said,

09:20Glenda is their boss,

09:22so there's clearly a conflict of interest here.

09:24So they call up New Mexico State Police to handle it from here.

09:27But when the original cops learn of the outcome,

09:30they realize they probably could have done a better job themselves.

09:34Four,

09:36five,

09:37six.

09:40It doesn't matter.

09:42So you're right there at that point.

09:47I don't think you're quite over the limit off of the clues that I saw,

09:50but I think you're right close to it.

09:52Where the limit might be 0.08,

09:54I think you're about a 0.06.

09:56My house is literally right around the corner.

09:59I'm not going to arrest you tonight.

10:01Okay?

10:01But if you've had any,

10:03I just say don't drive.

10:05Somehow, despite all the clues that the first two officers picked up,

10:09the state cops decided she wasn't over the limit when they arrived

10:13and was therefore free to drive.

10:15Now there's obviously the debate of corruption here,

10:18given that she's the mayor,

10:19but let's take his word as fact for now.

10:22The cop decided he thinks Glenda is at a 0.06 right now,

10:26but this was an hour after the initial stop was made.

10:28Taking into account that your blood alcohol level drops at a rate of

10:32around 0.015 an hour,

10:34Glenda was getting extremely close to the coveted 0.08 she'd be charged for.

10:39You may also be wondering why the cops didn't just use a breathalyzer

10:42to test her blood alcohol level immediately.

10:45The answer there lies in the fourth amendment.

10:48Cops have to provide probable cause that a driver is impaired

10:51before they're allowed to collect chemical evidence that proves this.

10:54That's what the sobriety tests are for.

10:56The combination of these two problems is what led to Glenda going home that night

11:00instead of to jail,

11:02why this is her third time being pulled over for this,

11:04and why it probably won't be her last.

11:07But unfortunately for this next boss,

11:08his employee wasn't so kind when it came to his DUI stop.

11:12Stay in your vehicle.

11:16Get back in your car.

11:18Drunk?

11:19No, I'm a captain.

11:21Huh?

11:22A what?

11:23Captain.

11:24A what?

11:25Don't reach in your pocket.

11:26Get back in your car.

11:27Have a seat.

11:28I will.

11:30I'm not.

11:35You've been drinking tonight.

11:37I just got a ride.

11:39You've been drinking tonight, sir.

11:41I'm a captain.

11:42I'm a police department.

11:44What police department?

11:45Oklahoma City.

11:50What division?

11:51Investigations.

11:53How much we had to drink tonight, sir?

12:00Police.

12:01Huh?

12:03I'm not turning my camera off.

12:05Okay.

12:05This guy isn't just drunk,

12:07he's absolutely hammered,

12:09even to the point where he thinks the camera can't hear him whispering.

12:12But despite the captain's pleas,

12:13the officer refuses to turn off his camera

12:16and continues with the investigation.

12:18Go ahead and step out of the vehicle.

12:22You gotta be kidding me.

12:25How much did we drink tonight, sir?

12:26I was at a poker game.

12:28Uh-huh.

12:30Because you're swerving all over me when you turn off your camera.

12:33You didn't use your signal.

12:34I'm sorry.

12:35How much did you drink at your poker game?

12:38Not much.

12:39Not much?

12:40How much is not much?

12:41I don't know.

12:42Beer?

12:43Liquor?

12:44How many beers?

12:46Three or four.

12:47Three or four?

12:48How long ago was that?

12:50It's been going on a while.

12:53How long ago did you drink your last beer, sir?

12:55What time is it now?

12:57It's zero one forty.

13:00Midnight.

13:02You think you should drive it?

13:03No, but I came from four blocks.

13:06And your mom lives here?

13:08I live here.

13:10You live here?

13:11Yes.

13:12Forward to the rear of your vehicle.

13:14Okay.

13:15You got any weapons or anything on you?

13:16I do not, sir.

13:18Those must have been a strong few beers, as not only was he stumbling over his words,

13:23but apparently also swerving across both lanes on his way home.

13:26The captain is then searched and told to stand in the open,

13:29where he's tested on his balance and sobriety.

13:31Hands down by your side, please.

13:35Look straight ahead.

13:36You see the tip of my pen, sir?

13:37I do.

13:37I want you to follow the tip of my pen without moving your head, okay?

13:44Come over here where it's a little bit more level.

13:48I'm going to demonstrate for you first.

13:49While I'm demonstrating, I want you to stand with your feet together.

13:52Hands down by your side, just like this.

13:53All right, sir.

13:54What's your name?

13:55Matt French.

13:56Matt French.

13:57Mr. French, stand just like that for me.

13:59When I tell you to begin, okay, I'm just going to demonstrate for you first.

14:02I want you to pick a foot of your choosing.

14:03It doesn't matter if it's your left or your right foot.

14:05I'm sorry.

14:07And I want you to lift it approximately six inches off the ground.

14:10And while you look at your toe, I want you to count by one thousand.

14:13It's one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three, one thousand four, one thousand five.

14:18So on and so forth until I tell you to stop.

14:20At any point in time, you lose your balance, your foot touches the ground.

14:23Just go ahead and pick your foot back up and continue to count, okay?

14:26Do you understand these instructions that I've explained to you, Mr. French?

14:30You may begin.

14:42I cannot, sir.

14:44I know you're aware of our body count policy.

14:47I do, but I'd like to talk to you.

14:52I can't do that, sir.

14:53Please.

14:55Are you going to do the test or not?

14:57Will you please talk to me?

14:59I'll talk to you once we're done.

15:00You can turn it off.

15:01You can turn it on.

15:02I can turn it off once I'm done with my investigation, sir.

15:04Okay.

15:05I'm a Capcom's police officer.

15:07I understand that, sir.

15:09I get that.

15:09And I am a sergeant on this police officer and I've taken an oath to uphold the law.

15:13I am not.

15:14I don't show favoritism to anyone regardless.

15:16I don't care if you're a gangbanger or the president of the United States.

15:19Sir, I'm not asking you for that.

15:22If I was to treat you differently than I was to treat like some south side loco or some pedo,

15:27how's that look on me?

15:29Okay.

15:29I'm not asking you for that.

15:31Because I wouldn't do that for any of them.

15:33Even as the captain begs him to turn his camera off and just talk,

15:37the officer stands his ground and states that he has to treat everyone the same

15:41or his job and livelihood could be at risk.

15:44He's showing a fantastic amount of integrity that unfortunately,

15:47we don't get to see too often.

15:49Likely due to people like this trying to pull rank.

15:52They then continue with the third and final test

15:54involving simply walking heel to toe for 10 steps.

15:57All right.

15:58Anytime you're ready, you may begin.

16:001, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

16:111, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

16:20Go ahead and turn around for me.

16:21Put your hands behind your back.

16:23Are you going to arrest me, sir?

16:24Yes, I am.

16:25Can I talk to you?

16:27Go ahead and put your hands behind your back, sir.

16:34Now that the investigation is concluded and the perp is placed under arrest,

16:38the officer turns off his camera and returns the captain to the police department.
