This is too big a f-up to lose the blood test. You can’t easily slide this under the rug and not expect your own reputation not to be harmed. This guy is dead to rights, there is no way to justify or rationalize it, they will not stick their own necks out for a lost cause.
Police stick together but not for something THIS stupid and THIS obvious and THIS unsupportable.
There was another one where the cop was caught on dashcam blowing by another cop and hitting a car killing two teenagers. He got off despite empty bottles and the dashcam.
Same sort of thing. Cop is doing twice the speed limit and talking on the phone on the way to a call. He hits an 11 year old girl on her bike. He gets out and disposes of two liquor bottles. When the cops show up, bystanders are threatened with arrest for trying to report the bottles. The guy is whisked away and shows up for his blood test three hours later.
Meanwhile, witnesses get the bottle…on is in a trash can and inside a bag with the cop’s credit card receipt.
He’s back on the job.
