A college student has filed a lawsuit against three Iowa police officers and the city of Newton after a DUI arrest in August 2022. Bodycam footage shows Tayvin Galanakis, a freshman football player at Willian Penn University, being arrested after performing sobriety tests and blowing zero on a breathalyzer test. “Dude, I blew zero!” The 19-year-old shouts as he’s placed into handcuffs. Galanakis was released later that night after police performed further tests to confirm his sobriety. After posting the bodycam on his own social media accounts, Galanakis was convinced by supporters to pursue legal action against the officers. The Law&Crime Network’s Sierra Gillespie discusses the arrest and lawsuit with Galanakis.

I once had a trooper threaten to shoot me bc I wasn’t talking to him let’s just say he is going to get what he deserves
This officer is a 🤡!!
Its called bully
This cop tried to ruin a kid's life because he didn't like how confident he was. He was so respectful too.
This happened to me in Mt. pleasant iowa.
Newton iowa pounce center this cop is worthless sue them big time
This is disgusting. I hope he has a fantastic lawyer.
dont ever give an attitude to a cop and you will go free every time.
The two times I’ve been pulled over the officers were genuinely good people and respectful (opposite of these ones) that being said there should be a fine or some sort of punishment for arresting someone that’s completely sober like this. But accountability for people in a position of power in the U.S. is something that almost never happens sadly
if i do it its kidnapping and i am lucky if i ever walk free again.
what was the officers punishment?
I can't watch the rest. This piece of garbage with a badge makes me sick!
3:13 AYOOO?? lol
Who’s zero
I can’t find anywhere on the city’s website to email the police department. Does anyone know an address?
Yes not being able to remember when you smoked after not doing so in a long time is hesitation last I check I can't remember my breakfast let alone trying to remember when I did somthing days weeks months ect. ago
sierra got some milkers hahahah i love free speech
Your state is nazi state
America's cops are even worse than cops in a corrupt third world country.
“You wanna blow me??” 😂😂
That came out wrong 😂
Sue them and come for his badge
Bro was taking the bar exam 🤣
Never heard of no bright lights on within a city limits anywhere at all around me that's crazy.
These cops should be arresting our politicians for having open borders and "real" damaging drugs flowing into our country. Officer Winters has to lose his job!!!
And the police can't figure out why we don't like or trust the crooks,makes me so angry this poor kids getting stitched up big time!!
Just think of all the lies committed when there was no body camera’s.
Never in my life done a field sobriety test, because only in America does this BS happen
Sad
Most police are totally corrupt
So what are the 2A folks going to do about this other than nothing?
These cops should be in jail. Insane….
this is awful! What is wrong with police worldwide? Doesn`t matter where we look we see police making utter fools of themselves, behaving like bullies and looking like idiots!
Good on you young man!
Pulling for you, please let us know about your outcomes.
He better win !!!
He is PERFECTLY right to sue the department. His rights were violated, he was Falsely arrested. Detained LONGER than 20 minutes due to all of those tests, by all means an unreasonable stop.
