A likely drunk off-duty cop adamantly lies to police officers after wrecking his car and causing thousands of dollars in damages into a cemetery. The off-duty cop then flees the scene of the accident which is in itself crime and police see him walking nearby and question him. He initially claimed his cousin was driving while he was asleep... likely to avoid being charged with DUI. After giving the police officers information of his phantom "cousin", the police actually do their job and become irritated with him when no information shows up, proving the off-duty police officer is lying to them.
The off-duty police officer then asks if he could have a "one-on-one talk" with the supervisor at the scene. The officers acknowledge this is "code" for the Blue Line Gang to try and sweep this incident under the rug. The supervisor even says "That's not how this works anymore." which illustrates he knows very well why he wants to talk privately, one-on-one, without bodycam recording. The supervisor then puts his bodycam in covert mode which records but doesn't have a flashing red light to indicate it is recording. Once the off-duty cop thinks he is talking privately to a fellow Blue Ling Gang member, he spills the beans he "messed up" (used an expletive) and he was the only one in the car. Another police officer at the scene tells the supervisor at the scene that they don't need to charge him with anything because "they did their job and don't have anything."
For the first half of this encounter, the supervisor acted 100% professionally and impartial as to who committed multiple crimes. It's after the off-duty cop comes clean that he gives in to the Blue Line Gang cover-up by NOT charging him with DUI, obstruction, and fleeing the scene of an accident...
He didn't even ask to conduct a field sobriety test. He wasn't arrested for obstruction (lying to the police). He wasn't charged for running from the scene of an accident HE caused which resulted in thousands of dollars. They just take his insurance information and let him go home so he could get some sleep. Apparently being drunk, crashing into a cemetery causing thousands of dollars in damages, fleeing the scene of an accident he caused, creating a fake story about a phantom cousin driving all the while obstructing justice takes a lot out of him so the Blue Line Gang decide to give him a break.
Let me ask this... If this was you, a non-Blue Ling Gang member, do you think you would have been set free so you can sleep your hangover off?
