    FYI, the driver had had a previous DUI dismissed after he crashed through a freaking store:

    Given that I grew up in the great state of NJ, I felt like I should post this one. Definitely a little different than the cop stories currently dominating the media, but any debate about the problems facing -- and caused by/exacerbated -- LEOs in this country should probably include a discussion about alcohol abuse.

    We should probably also talk about the idea of "professional courtesy". It sounds like this dude was a habitual drunk driver, and I can't help but wonder how many times he's been pulled over by a fellow LEO and got off with a warning thanks to his badge.

    It also blows my mind that two other cops got into the car with this guy.

    Sounds like someone you'd want to party with......so long as you never got a ride from him.

    It will be dismissed again on the premise of him being ABOVE the law

    Hopefully he sits in jail for a LONG time.

    Those officers knew the law but they got in the car with a cop who was breaking the law... It is what it is.

    I see why cops think they are above the law. This cop and his cop buddies that covered up his first DUI should go to jail. I bet if that thin blue line didn't get him out of the first one then this wouldn't have happened and those passengers would still be alive.
