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:
