I was shocked that he got off. Plead guilty to a “seatbelt infraction”. Appears to be pure incompetence by the police department. This happened in New York by the way, so I’m not referencing Portland PD.

I get trying to get a lesser charge because fines and jail time suck, but at the end of the day people do need to just take the punishment they get because they made the choice that put them in that position. I don't know if I could in good conscience plead not guilty to something like that because even though it was fine this time, could take a life if it happened again. I can still see police not doing there part making it possible to not be charged but still.

He blew a .18 on a breathalyzer back at the station after initially refusing one on the street. Not sure how it wasn’t an easy win for them. He has stopped drinking liquor since it happened so hopefully he learned his lesson.

Wow thats insane he still got off but I'm glad he's using it to better himself and get sober.
