✍️ The Honolulu Police Department is facing a lawsuit from the American Civil Liberties Union of Hawaii, alleging that officers are arresting sober drivers in an overzealous focus on making drunk-driving arrests.
👉 The ACLU alleges that Honolulu officers are arresting sober drivers in an overzealous focus on making drunk-driving arrests.
👉 The department is driven by a 'singular focus' on getting arrests for driving under the influence, even if they don't result in convictions.
👉 The ACLU claims that supervisors give officers incentives to make DUI arrests, including telling night enforcement officers they can go home and still get paid for an entire shift if they make a DUI arrest.
👉 The department has arrested 127 people with a blood-alcohol content level of 0.000 since 2022.
👉 Only 15 people were given a traffic ticket, and only three people were charged with driving under the influence of drugs.
