after you read this imagine it was you being pulled over and what would have happened to you, had you acted this way;
Jonesboro, AR — The term ‘blue privilege’ exists and is well known because police officers will commit crimes, often far worse than civilians, and face little to no consequences. This is especially common among traffic offenses like speeding and driving under the influence (DUI). Sometimes, however, there are good cops out there who won’t let their drunk brothers in blue keep driving and put everyone else on the roads in danger just to show that privilege.
On Feb. 20, 2021, Craighead County sheriff’s deputy James Michael Teague was wasted and driving at a high rate of speed when he was targeted by Arkansas State University Police Sergeant Daniel Bradway for suspicion of DUI.
In his report, Bradway wrote that he noticed the truck in front of him “seemed to be traveling at a high rate of speed” so he initiated the stop. But Teague did not stop and instead, led Bradway on a high speed chase through town.
Eventually, Teague pulled over. Had he not been a cop, he would have likely been met with the barrel of a gun, taser, or dragged out of the vehicle. However, likely due to the fact Bradway knew who it was, none of this happened and Bradway showed Teague some officer discretion. Teague’s special treatment ended there.
When Bradway approached the truck, he asked Teague if he had not seen his lights.
“To my surprise, the driver responded by saying, ‘I did Broadway,” Bradway, stated in his report.
That’s when Teague tried to flex his blue privilege. “Do you know who I am?”
Bradway acknowledged he knew the officer and Teague apologized for speeding and running from cops and tried to be on his way.
But Bradway wasn’t having it, especially after seeing a Miller Lite bottle in the cup holder and noticing Teague looked drunk..........read and watch more....
