What is this dude? I blew zero totally a woman's here. It is okay. he says he was arrested for an OWI while he was completely sober. you know when he accused me of being drunk? That's when I got really confident because I knew it was going to go one way and it was going to go my way.

19 year old Taven Galanakis is a freshman at William Clapton where he's a wide receiver for the School's football team but on the weekend of August 28th last year he was about an hour north in his hometown of Newton Iowa Yeah so I was coming home from one of my friend's house. um we were just watching some football and I looked around like I think it was 11 30 if I can remember right and I had a headlight out so my idea was raining. it was cloudy and all that really dark. so I used my brights.

Gallanakis says one of his headlights was out so he put on his brights within. City Limits that's when Newton Police Officer Nathan Winters pulled him over. That's it. Hi there, how you doing sir good, how are you good? my name is Officer Winters with the Newton Police Department Reason: I pull drum is because you have your bright lights on.

you have a headlight out. so I just came up right Song: Okay, well that's not legal. Oh is it no yeah I try to win a car when the car comes by to turn them off. but like you didn't with me.

Oh, you're close enough though. you're like yeah, you're a well-being Oh, the high beams. oh my. Oh I'm sorry.

and you're not supposed to have your brights on in. This hyping is bettering right now because that's your license right? Yeah I got you. Yeah, it pulled me over. so then once he pulled me over, he began to be really hostile.

Yeah, he said Lord's visibility I could tell by the way, like right when he got to my window just asking me if I had anything to drink right away. you know. So it was just one of those things I was like it's gonna be like that so you know I try to keep my calm, keep my cool. Where are you coming from his house? Okay, anything to drink over there? Huh? I didn't hear what you said.

There's one of these. Need one of these right here? Yeah. I mean that's a good start. That's the registration, body camera video shows Gallonakis give officer Winters his license, registration, and insurance information.

After that, he's asked to get away. guys I Don't think anybody's in the wrong so far. I Think asking is fine. out of the vehicle.

All right. that'll work. I'm gonna have you hop out with me. Okay, cool.

I'm gonna have you hop out with me. Okay, cool her. on or off. Uh, you could probably leave the car off.

Do me a favor, put your gum on the on your dash there. Come on going my dad. Yeah officer Winters then asks gallonakis any weapons or drugs on him. We're gonna go back here.

Okay cool, you don't have anything on you. No bombs, guns, drugs, no bombs with no drugs. Okay, let's go back here after that the officer leads Galanakis into the front seat of his squad car. How much have you had to drink tonight? Again they say bombs which if you like.

if you watch the video last time the cop says that any bombs, you know what they did, they had a bunch of bombs in a car. Do you remember that the video? Well the god that you're having any bombs or whatever. we're all over laughing and then they had bombs, had nothing to drink. Okay the Walmart why would you, uh watering bloodshot do you want to blow me real quick? You know I don't want to blow you well I told him that I said hey, blow me and then he put it on his homosexual right after that.

So at that point I know who I'm talking to. you know he's not really professional. Galanakis tells a long crime Network He wanted to take a breathalyzer exam right away because he didn't have anything to drink. You know when he accused me of being drunk, that's when I got really confident because I knew it was going to go one way and it was gonna go my way.

So I constantly said hey, let's let's take the breathalyzer test and on the body camera videos and make sure. Well me too man. give me a little blow I Will Zero I Will here in a minute. Let's blow real quick.

Stop doing all these damn tests. Let's blow. Let's get to business. But First Officer Winters asks Galanakis to perform a series of field sobriety tests.

Okay, you see my finger clearly. Yes sir. Okay, all right. so I want you to put your left foot on the line.

Okay, take your right foot. put it in front of your left foot with the heel of your right foot touching the Tory left foot just like this. Okay, but when Gallonakis performs a walking test, Officer Winters can be heard saying he's not following directions. Uh, seems fine to me.

So you want to get tonight. That's how you do it. Uh, take a series of small steps. Well I'm 13 steps.

How many steps did I say to take eight or nine? I said nine. Oh I thought you're gonna tell me where to turn even if you make one mistake into counting it yo errors happening. if you don't know members or something, that's fine. That's why this one is like five tests or four would have hook because it's the whole scope of the whole thing that matters.

You can look at my sticker too. It's fine. Nobody gives a you count your steps out loud and uh I try to read call directions like hey, Can you tell me again and you want to save them clearly So I try my best and he said I took one extra step when on the nine step test he said to one extra step and I guess that's how he determined if I was drunk or high gallonakis admits he may have slipped up on the tests because he was nervous at the time. Yeah no baby.

I swear my words. You know a little bit because I was nervous. but yeah this is basic nerves. You know what I'm saying all right during this.

keep your arms down your side. why are you shaking so much? It's freezing man look at you, you got all these clothes on and I got it shorts on this rain and you false accusing me So of course I'm gonna be a little nervous. Yeah, nothing to say. After this Galanakis is asked to perform multiple other field sobriety tests.

Oh I see oh oh oh this is the classic like cup is wrong. Then the guy belittles them and believe it or not by Logic that you're allowed to okay um you're allowed a eagle hurt so he does everything it and his powdered to just be a cucklorn fueled sobriety. Yep, how did I tell you to count? it's being a little then it doesn't matter but they're not the cops. Can they Kind of like work for the public? yet for the safety of the public, right? If this guy is drunk, he is a threat, right? to other people, right? So his job would be to get down off the road, but now he's not a threat then right? So this guy could be the most actual dog person out there and he could be literally insulting him back to back.

It still doesn't matter. He's not certain people. his job is to make things safer. He's doing that.

Absolutely not that. so it doesn't Doesn't matter what Mississippi to Mississippi through Mississippi I Also forgot how you told me, but there's pretty well you want to buy a lot, allowed it to be little and say something dumb, what was you? You shouldn't but still. So just follow my finger with your eyes and your eyes only and don't move your head. Okay gotcha.

After telling Galanakis he's likely impaired, You're showing some very strong signs of impairment. No, he's no, he isn't it. Officer Winters finally performs a breathalyzer test. All right.

What I want you to do is make a Tight Seal around this and blow outwards like you're blowing up a balloon. Okay, oh, all right, You ready? Yep, okay. you can relax. Um, so I'm gonna read your Miranda okay once.

right now, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say Canon will be used against you in a quarter block while Officer Winters does not tell Galanakis the results of the test, the video after that, he asked Galanakis when the last time he smoked weed was when's the last time we smoked weed I Do not remember that tonight. Who? Okay, Well I would I think it's tonight I Have had no weed tonight. Chat: Great answer.

Not a bad, not a bad answer. Great answer you should have. First sentence is good. Sentence is a bad right.

But why why is not a bad answer Because because let's say he's trying to truth right I said all you did a month ago and like Yo Dude, we found some things you need to do is actually a week ago. Well then he lied to the police and then he's incriminated right? He says he doesn't remember. you're chilling right? It's more. after that, that's fine.

See what? Why do you think it's tonight? Why do you think that's one? I'll blew the zero. So now you're trying to think I Smoke weed? That's what's going on. You can't do that man. You really can't do that.

Absolutely. I Can Is he allowed to do that? Yes. Officer Winters again tells Galanakis he shows signs of being impaired I would during my field sobriety I It is indicative of impairment. so let's let's let's be honest.

I'm being honest. You throw some weed at your friend's house? No you hit a pin. Nope. Okay, why is your why did you feel it? Sobriety: So four? What? Why is your field sobriety so poor? and why are you so lethargic and slow moving? What? You know what? They're watery Prices: Galanakis tells the officer he doesn't smoke because he's on the college football team.

No wait. I Don't smoke weed I Play college football I Told you that how does weird affect the physical right test? Does it at all. The sign said that if you smoke weed you would do bad on the impairment test. It does.

I have no idea I'm asking you someone say a question I'm messing. Don't smoke me. Today's Saturday Okay, it's 30 degrees for 30 days so if I did a test next week I'll be off the football team. Body camera video then shows Officer Winter is speaking with another officer saying Galanakis hesitated when answering about smoking I said when's the last time we smoked weed and he hesitated for a long period of time and said I honestly can't remember that is not the officer car he under arrest.

wait. She read him his rights to to to stay silent and he's mad that the response was delayed. How does it make any sense at all? Okay yeah, Blue Zero. So I end up getting put in cups because I blew zeros and I get taken back to the department and at that point you know it's it's real life.

It's not a prank Gallonakis has taken to the Newton Police Department where he continues to maintain his sobriety. Drugs: a drug recognition expert later determined Galanakis was not intoxicated at the time he was pulled over. Galanakis requested the body Camera video after his arrest and decided to post it to social media. Gallanakis's edited Body People now has more than one million views on YouTube when I posted the video on to Facebook and all of that the whole town was telling me about their similar you know experiences and all that.

and if if I'm seeing all these comments about people saying they're dealing with the same thing from the same Police Department we we got some, we got a mess to clean up and I feel like that's my job with the exposure I got I got to clean up the mess and I'm okay with doing that. What would the publicity my video got I Really hope you know it upbrings the corruption in Newton and other towns that have like similar issues. but yeah with the exposure of the video I think it should just show them that hey, we need to do something better. You know because what they're doing is not right.

Galanakis tells lawn crime Network He decided to pursue legal action I'm sure which really makes them so they'll do that like like more often about that, right? Because even it what, Let me go to the market bro bro. Yeah, I get it. Some people will do it I get it. I Understand how that works, but at the same time at the same time a lot of people.

There's a lot of reasons to be discouraged to to not to not pursue at this point. Um, the vast majority of people I have will have more reasons not to go through with it just because of various reasons I really started getting inboxes on Facebook it's annoying him and all that. Not from one dude. You're a citizen.

you shouldn't have to do this. We'll do the job right. It's not your job to do this. It's not man.

they should be able to be self-regulated then these systems. man, are you hot first. but from people that wanted me to, uh, talk to their lawyer so it was just like maybe the lawyers family members reached out to me and hey, I'm a really good lawyer, blah blah. Gallinac has filed a lawsuit in U.S District Court for the Southern District of Iowa against the city of Newton and his.

Police Department The court documents allege Galanakis's civil rights were violated. Oh my. God Guilty of false arrest? Long cry Oh my God Jack What happened Chef Somebody robs the house and starts running and buying the defenses. How does this guy follow? well I don't want to be rude I Just uh guys, hey guys I'm not even being rude.

Okay I just feel like overall, shouldn't there be like certain physical standards um to maintaining the police. Otherwise you're kind of like a liability aren't you not like what the like I'm gonna say zoo I'm not a police I'm a streamer. my heart is flogged up to the Wazoo Man this video is a false arrest long crime Network Reached out to the Newton Police Department for an interview but we're told they have no it's the same bill because this time officer Nathan Winters is still employed with Department reporting for long crime Network Oh my. God I Just realized that Journey Police Department yo this is X x on this video.

Anyone knows that boy I Don't know. He's just so sorry. anyone knows that boy I Don't know, he's just so sorry.
