32 minute video... where do you see wet pants?

They're visible throughout if you look more closely. The officers and the women herself discuss it at 17:10 for a couple sentences. When she gets in the car at 18:53 you can see the wetness both between her legs and on the back wrapping around the side as she sits, but any time you look in the whole video where the lighting isn't blinding it, the wetness is visible

You can start at 8:32 and stop at 19:12. That makes it 11 minutes.

The woman is relaxed and friendly by the way, even with wet jeans. She's not one of the aggressive hysteric women we usually see in these kind of videos. I bet she's a nice and good librarian

Don't see the wetting action, but there is a very visible wet spot.

This is fascinating for an American LOL both the police and the woman are incredibly reasonable, and I'm not talking about the wetting. She probably wet herself before she was formally detained. What I'm talking about is how she is clearly in significant distress, and tells the officers she is "scared to get inside," but she's not totally freaking out, and they just kind of talk her into it gently. And they are not putting her in the back of a police car. They are putting her in a cage in the back of a van. I actually get it that for some folks that could be pretty fucking claustrophobic.

And they don't have her handcuffed LOL and she's not trying to run away.

In the USA, the girl would have been freaking out from the very beginning LOL that's just what Ameican girls do

And the cops would have handcuffed her immediately and unceremoniously forced her into the van, and even the slightest resistance would have led to pepper spray or worse, and an additional charge of resisting arrest.

These UK cops have been trained on mental health and how to de-escalate.

Unless the subject is BIPOC, of course. Then they act more like American cops LMAO

Yes, I'm from Europe, and for me it's the other way around. I'm shocked by the American videos. The police are super aggressive, they escalate situations more than they try to calm things down.

From the comments (whether true or not, who knows?) it seems that she was cuffed earlier. Without seeing the whole video it's hard to know exactly what occurred. UK police would certainly do the same as US police if the situation were to escalate. We're obviously less likely to use firearms unless the criminals are already using them.

I am also from Europe and I am also shocked by the way this is handled in the USA. First of all, the police cooperate in exposing suspects on the Internet for the rest of their lives. In Europe, this is not allowed due to privacy regulations.

In addition, in the USA, a lot of police officers are deployed to deal with one DUI case. In the videos you usually see several police cars and sometimes even fully equipped ambulances and fire trucks on the scene. And there is a lot of shouting. The police must have a lot of tax money to spend.

In Europe, a standard DUI case is handled by two police officers who share the same car. The focus is on de-escalation, and in principle there is no shouting and no handcuffs are used. No movement tests are performed, only an alcohol breathalyzer test. I think some suspects are not even taken to the police station, if they cooperate, only the more serious cases. The others can leave without their car after handing in their driver's license, as long as they are no danger to themselves or others

Only when a suspect becomes violent, police officers may call for backup. An ambulance only comes for real injuries.

Doesn't always play out that way in the USA. Traffic stops vary wildly from place to place, and DUI laws differ from state to state. I was arrested for DUI in Ohio back in 2013. I think the officer did some things that were improper, and that my rights were violated. But the stop did not become a physical confrontation at all. And it was one officer, and he did not summon backup. I was taken into custody, but my car was not towed. It was left on the highway and I was allowed to retrieve it later. I was released from jail on a small cash bond in less than 24 hours. It was not a pleasant experience. But there was no physical aggression. I was cuffed, but that is standard procedure in any case where one is taken into custody.

But I'm a white male. LOL

I know someone who was stopped for DUI by a different police department, also back in 2013. He is Mexican, and he has permanent residency in the USA. He was stopped by white police officers, in an area in central Ohio that is racially diverse and fairly tolerant. He was not taken to jail. He was cuffed and taken to the police station, where he was issued a citation. He was allowed to go home without his car. His car was towed. I don't remember if he was picked up by his wife, or if he took a taxi. I don't think he had to post a bond.

He speaks English with a strong Mexican accent. When the officer gave him some stuff to read and sign at the police station, he thought he could buy some time and maybe manipulate the process a bit by saying that he couldn't read English. The officer promptly produced the papers in Spanish LOL.

But he was cooperative at all times, and he was treated with respect by the officers.

I don't know if he would have the same experience today, given the shift in the political climate in the USA. With that being said, many small, local police departments, and even some big city police departments, and not cooperating with Trump's federal agents.

But I've seen plenty of videos of cops that needlessly escalate things from a minor traffic stop into a massive physical confrontation, especially when the subjects are black.

And the simple fact is that cops today are reasonably afraid that anyone they stop might be carrying a gun. In most states in the USA, it is either very easy to get a permit, or a permit is not required. And even where a permit is required, it is too easy to buy a gun without a permit.

Policing is broken in the USA. I can't imagine why anyone would want to be a uniformed police officer in the USA today. The people who are most qualified to do the job want no part of it. Those who actually want to do it are on a power trip and should not be given the job. It is seriously fucked up LOL
