FBI Investigates False DUI Arrests
This page has long maintained that the current “Standardized Field Sobriety Test” procedure is fraught with uncertainty and open to subjective interpretation. A federal investigation has been launched against Utah Highway Patrol Cpl. Lisa Steed for civil rights violations. Steed has been accused of arresting people for DUI who were sober. Two judges have found Steed lied on the witness stand and a 2010 memo suggesting she was falsifying arrest reports has emerged. While the vast majority of law enforcement officers are hard-working and dedicated to protecting the public from drunk drivers, this officer may have used her discretion to abuse innocent citizens. Read the full story from the Salt Lake Tribune HERE.
The story is linked to other problems in the administration of justice by the Utah Highway Patrol. In a final horrific irony and despite her termination, Steed is scheduled to testify in a DUI case Monday in Salt Lake City justice court, according to defense attorney Jesse Nix, who sent an email notifying reporters of the case on Sunday.
