“The officers performed a breathalyzer test, which showed Galanakis had a blood-alcohol content of 0.00. After that, the officers accused Galanakis of smoking cannabis based on the field sobriety test. Winters then arrested him.”
Tayvin Galanakis blew triple zeros, tested clean at the station and got arrested anyway for high beams. He posted the body-cam footage, it hit 2 million views, and the two Newton, Iowa officers countersued him for emotional distress. A federal judge already tossed almost every claim as opinion or hyperbole. The officers who filmed the arrest now want damages for people watching it.
