at least the senator didn't pull the "do you know who I am?" card.
"Did u undersood my onstructins"
Mr Senator, it’s the law and the rest of us have to follow it so why should you be any different? Unbelievable!
Insane gun laws.
Lying Republican
Is the sobriety test being able to understand what the officer is saying? If so I would fail.
Why is it some people are forced to take a blood test if they don't provide a breathalyzer?
Good thing he's a Republican, he doesn't have to face consequences
This is what the right defends as a family man who never breaks the laws. This is what conservatism looks like, RULE FOR THEE NOT FOR ME. Keep voting for these clowns and only you will face the consequences not these clowns.
lol politicians
Remember this at the next election
Officers did great, Court will let him off. Double standards
This cat got double screwed..
The moment his wife showed up ( priceless)
Those republicans and their family values 😊vote MATA in 24 and make America trumpless again 💙
This police officer is way out of line, plain ridiculous. Cop is trying to irritate instigate and bully this senator, Shame on this police officer
How to follow these cops instructions? Manny's got that Mexican. Accent, but we're used to having immigrant cops anymore.
Doesn't this senator know you don't answer questions from the police? They are only fishing to incriminate you.
This cop is gonna lose his job. Unfortunately, the rich, powerful pink people run this state.
You don't talk to cops. Do not answer questions.
YOU DONT HAVE TO DO A FIELD SOBRIETY TEST……ITS NOT THE LAW
You need to lose your position as a State senator You are NO role model
Bad communication by the cop. He sounded like the guy from the call center in India who keeps calling me saying he is from Medicare and needs to confirm my account number! Other than the confusing directions by the cop, the subjects FSTs looked OK. At this point the senator's real problem is explain to his wife who is the babe in his car.
Didn't appear drunk to me.Officer plays tricky instructions game.
Ridiculous and a slap in the face to the Officers doing their job! Shame on the Texas Judge that allowed that dishonest favoritism!
Wait isn’t this the guy that sent a picture of his junk to a young girl?!
Wow. Charges dropped by the DA
Another example of if you're a government official or a politician, you're above the law. This is pathetic
“These lanes are terrible.†Yeah, too bad a State Senator and State Representative have no power to do something about it. Oh, wait…
You left out the good part, did the senators wife divorce him?
Standardized yet there is no definitive end to a test? The test ends whenever the officer decides is not Standardized
How do they not have evidence? Did they not draw blood at the station? Why not? It's fine that he refuses the breathalyzer, but they have his smell of alcohol, his erratic driving, plus the meh FST. He wasn't clearly drunk, but he didn't do great. Hard to tell if he's drunk or just clumsy and stubborn. He could have just turned down the FST AND the breathalyzer and not asked for preferential treatment and all they'd have on him would be the officer's olfactory perception. Very strangely handled case.
The people who run our country! Driving drunk and cheating on his wife with another govt' official! What a complete DB!
From his own bio; "Charles Schwertner is a physician, *family man*, and life-long conservative."
Definitely a man of family values and personal responsibility.
Cops desperate harassment him try to stop his bedroom time
Texas polititician nuff said. No accountability. Why do politicians think they are special and shouldn't be treated like common people.
Why does the cop sound like boomhaur 😂
2:20 He reached for his boot! 😯😯😯
he doesnt seem drunk
All charges dropped. Welcome to the United States of America. land where politicians and publicly funded organizations and agencies are never held accountable.
Treat him the same, his cuffs were fine, yet he loosened them. And then charges are dropped.
Yup just like everyone else 🙄
The word to use is "excessive" not unreasonable.
I love how the politician is going to argue with the cop that he's being unreasonable and feels like its an interrogation. This guy doesn't know how things works.
Busted twice🤣🤣🤣
She is just a lawyer. 🤦â€Â♀ï¸Â
Honestly is that cop wasted or english poor… i wouldve asked for a english translator 😂
If you have had one drink
You are considered
Impaired
That cop is enjoying himself.
