Blow, blow, blow, blow, blow. >> There you go. >> Zeros. You were telling the truth. >> This man was pulled over after a caller claimed his car was all over the road. Trooper Megan Bozer responded as a drug recognition evaluator. But what started as a routine driving complaint quickly spiraled into a nightmare. Mr. Moore explained he was driving legally on his way to his daughter's high school graduation and that his prescription was taken as prescribed. Despite showing proof, passing field sobriety tests, and fully cooperating, Trooper Bozer insisted he was impaired and arrested him for DWI. Her refusal to consider his explanation or the facts destroyed his day caused him to miss his daughter's graduation cost him his job and put him through months of legal battles. Watch how these cops ruined his life over nothing. >> Did you have your proof of insurance? >> Yep. Would you like to see? >> Yes, please. >> Yeah. So, >> okay. >> Absolutely.

Never consent to searches without understanding your rights and document every interaction. Always stay calm but informed. Police errors can destroy lives even when you follow the
