600 false arrests made in TN had TN introducing a new law concerning DUIs

600 victims from between 2017 - 2024 were wrongly arrested over DUIs, they passed the field sobriety tests and tested negative for substances. They were all sober and slapped with a DUI anyways. Officers cited red eyes and slurred speech as probable cause in their arrests. But I mean as you know people get nervous and others are tired, I've had red eyes before after working double shifts. This is why I avoid cops because that's crazy.

The new bill requires sober DUI arrests in the state to be listed each year by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, including the law enforcement agency involved.

I am curious what the state law says.

I know in Canada you can get slapped with a DUI if you deliberately drive sleep deprived.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I actually just thought about this now ha 😂

I mean just because they asked to document doesn't mean police can't slap you with a DUI even if you're sober. I was kinda hoping they did more because 600 people who haven't drank or did drugs yet got it anyways is pretty corrupt. But now I'm wondering if it's just to document.

Should have known that when police are involved they'll get away with anything.
