the plot thickens. while the legal limit in arizona is .1 the cop that was busted was under the legal limit! yes under the legal limit. he blew .07 and .074 neither which is considered legally drunk.
the only odd about the bust was the photo of the cop. he is a negro. the webmaster doesnt think the pigs have suddenlly changed their ways and started arresting cops who commit crimes.
the webmaster thinks this is a case of some white cops who want to railroad a black cop off the force because well.. because he is black
Off-duty officer is charged with DUI, speeding

An off-duty Tucson police officer was arrested yesterday on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.
A Tucson police sergeant stopped nine year department veteran Charles Dancer, 32, near 200 West Irvington Road at 1:11 a.m. The police incident report said Dancer was traveling 65 mph in a 35-mph zone.
When the sergeant asked Dancer if he had been drinking, Dancer said he'd had two or three beers at a Famous Sam's i Dancer told the arresting officer he was hurrying home to drop off his car, i a 1992 Chevrolet, the police report said.
The officer noted that Dancer's eyes were watery and bloodshot, and his breath had a "moderate," smell of alcohol. Dancer swayed slightly when asked to walk a straight line, the report said.
Two separate Breathalyzer tests taken after Dancer was pulled over indicated that his blood alcohol level was not over the legal limit. His first test result was .074 percent and his second test gave a reading of .07 percent.
Tucson police Sgt. Judy Altieri said Dancer was arrested on the DUI charge based on a portion of state law that allows police to arrest drivers on suspicion of, "impairment to the slightest degree."
Dancer was also cited for speeding and was released. His first court appearance is scheduled for Oct. 27.
Altieri said Dancer has, been reassigned to administrative duties with pay, pending resolution of the charges. Tucson police will conduct an administrative, review the incident after the criminal portion of the case is completed.
