‘You can’t detain me,’ Oklahoma Rep. tells officer he can’t be arrested in body cam footage

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – Oklahoma City police have released body camera footage of the arrest of a state lawmaker. 

According to officials, Rep. Dean Davis was arrested in Bricktown early Thursday morning for allegedly being drunk in public.

I love the part in the video where the cop says, "You're not being detained, you're being arrested."

  1. The state representative was only partially correct in the fact that he couldn't be detained. He cannot be detained if he is on his way to a session of the legislature. I don't think he could argue that he was on his way to a session of the legislature at 4AM while sitting at a bar.

    1. Came her to say that. I'm not sure if it's some/most/all states/feds, but there are laws that protect legislatures from the executive branch while they are on the way to perform their legislative duties. It would prevent a draconian situation where someone like Biden might have legislators arrested who were on their way to vote against some legislation he wanted passed.

      But yeah....4 AM...at a bar? Not gonna cut it.

  2. This asshole is an all around fuck-up. Just got a pass on DUI charges in 2019 and thinks it's a good idea to be drinking at a bar past legal drinking hours. With losers like this in there ranks, the Republicans haven't got a chance. SMDH!

    1. "Republicans haven't got a chance. SMDH!" FYI, Republicans is just another way to spell politician. All politicians are controlling snakes. Continue to vote and let me know how that works out.
