Ohio’s TOP DUI Cop arrested for . . . . DUI! By Charles L. Sifers

God. A week of irony! Gerald Gibson, an Ohio Trooper named Trooper of the Year in 2002 and honored by Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (”MADD”) in 1997 for his large numbers of DUI arrests, was arrested for DUI last weekend. Click HERE for the story. Irony, yet again.

However, that is NOT the real point to this story. No, the point is this:

When he was arrested, he refused the test. Refused the test. Give some thought to this. Why, if these breath machines are so accurate and dependable, would someone who knows SO MUCH about them, refuse this test?

If you have EVER heard of any government person (cop, DA, legislator, etc, etc) that got arrested for DUI, did you pay any attention to the fact that each of them ALSO refused a test? Google this topic and you’ll see. You’ll find in almost EVERY SINGLE instance where someone like this is arrested for DUI, they will refuse the test.

What does that communicate to you? Is it because they know that they are drunk and do not want the government to have that evidence? Or maybe it was this: they also knows that the machine CAN’T BE TRUSTED and refused to allow the government to use it’s little “toy” to prosecute him.

So, which one is it? Like I said Google the topic. Then ask anyone who knows ANYTHING about breath testing machines whether THEY would take a breath test if THEY were ever arrested. You’ll THEN get the answer to this question.

This is the real story in Trooper Gibson’s arrest.
