The Truth About Cars reports that this is, or may soon be was, Sacramento, CA police officer Brandon Mullock. Allegedly due to Officer Mullock at least 79 accused drivers have been notified the police officer that charged them with drunk driving had likely falsified at least one piece of evidence. Consequently, Sacramento County District Attorney tossed their cases. The DA opened an inquiry into Mullock’s conduct after a deputy district attorney preparing a DUI case for trial watched a dashcam arrest video and noticed that the raw footage differed substantially from Mullock’s written account of the incident in a police report.
The DA said most of the defendants were convicted in a court of law despite Mullock’s legally unsound decision to detain the motorists, despite his misuse of preliminary alcohol screening and despite wild inaccuracies in his field interviews.
The district attorney’s office has provided each convicted motorist with documentation they can provide to insurance companies and employers to remedy some of the damage done.
