Context:
On 12th March 2023, Off-duty Captain James French, a 32-year veteran of the force, was pulled over after an officer observed his SUV swerving and failing to signal.

Footage Summary:
Upon being questioned, French asked Sergeant Skinner to turn off his body camera multiple times.

Sergeant Skinner refused to turn off the camera, stating, "I cannot, sir," and "I know you are aware of our bodycam policy".
Skinner further stated, "If I were to treat you differently than I was to treat like some south side loco or some pedo, how's that look on me?" French finally does the sobriety test and fails. He's put in cuffs by the cop, who finally agrees to turn off his bodycam.

Outcome:
French admitted to drinking three or four beers at a poker game, failed field sobriety tests, and was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. He was placed on administrative leave with pay, and Oklahoma City Police Chief Wade Gourley praised the arresting officer for acting professionally and following protocol.
