On December 28, 2018, Lincoln Gordon, 25, was arrested after Officer Ilya Ivanov witnessed him allegedly driving recklessly in the City of Seattle. This video presents the events that followed. To avoid spoilers, Gordon’s BAC test results are included at the end of this description.
On January 3, 2019 Assistant City Attorney Mindy Longanecker filed a criminal complaint against Gordon in Seattle Municipal Court, alleging violations of Seattle Municipal Code Section 11.56.0202(A)(1), Driving Under the Influence, and Seattle Municipal Code Section 11.56.120(A), Reckless Driving. On March 10, 2019 Gordon entered a plea of not guilty, literally, in response to both charges.
Ultimately, Gordon accepted a negotiated plea, pleading guilty to the first charge, which was amended from DUI to Reckless Driving. The second charge – the one that started as Reckless Driving – was dismissed with prejudice.
On July 30, 2019 Gordon received a 24 month suspended sentence, provided he comply with all of the following: 364 days in jail with 358 days suspended, and a fine of $5,000 with $4,405 suspended. Regarding the six days of remaining jail time, he was given the option of six days work crew within 60 days in lieu of jail. Additional fines and fees included a $250 BAC fee, $102.50 criminal traffic fee, $240 records check fee, $25 work crew fee, and a $43 criminal conviction fee. Gordon also had to obtain a substance use disorder evaluation, which he passed with flying colors, and attend a DUI Victim’s Panel and Alcohol/Drug Information School, from which he received a fancy-looking diploma-type thing.
According to a note submitted to the court by Gordon’s defense attorney, a Department of Licensing hearing officer dismissed the suspension action against Gordon’s driver’s license due to “officer unreliability of testimony.” We have requested a copy of the transcript and audio recording of the DOL hearing to confirm the same.
Gordon’s BAC test results were .136 and .133.

Literally.
One foot in front of the other 'It is a little bit uncomfortable but .."
What's up with zoomers and the word "literally?"
Shenelle….this is all your fault….literally!
Damn where is this cop in my town?
Seems like "literally" is LITERALLY the only BIG word he knows! 😂🤣 IJS
Not sure who slurred their words more, him or the arresting officer.
Thats quite a Saab story fella! 🙂
Drinking and driving should be the hardest punished offense in America not drugs. Cars kill more people than drugs ever have and yet we allow cops to ruin lives and arrest minorities for non violent drug possession.
I don't think he could count sober. It has been proven that glossy eyes don't mean anything and cops aren't even supposed to be able to use glossy eyes as a sign of anything. You can be tired and have glossy eyes. He seemed pretty sober to me while talking but the counting made him seem like an idiot.
Literally?
Plot twist. He was actually "theoretically" dropping off his home girl.
When the officer starts giving the heel to toe verbal instructions, he sounds like Dan Aykroyd hahaha
wait… wait….. not figuratively?? hmm
"Literally" count anyone?? I can't….
Literally.
what's with the word "literally" being used so many times?
You had me at "Shenelle." When you have a made up ghetto name, hilarity ensues!
RWP: your descriptions get better & better.. They're a joy to read.. You've ruined it for most other channels lolâ¤
Fkn cop talks faster than me, and that's not easy. Also, don't you dare charge humpty hump!
People who use the word literally as if it means "Seriously" are some of the most annoying people on the planet.
If the police had to deal with that type of nice guy every stop, they would have an easy job.
I am retired now but I did 32 1/2 years in law-enforcement and about 23 years as a field training officer Patrol. According to the bureau of statistics, There were 61.5 million people in the US that had at least one contact with the police in 2020.
There were two black males and a black female involved in this case. Everybody in this case was cooperative, the driver who was arrested, a female passenger in the mail passenger who are all persons of color.
But notice, nobody got hurt, shot, killed or disrespected.
Everybody can see clearly in this video how the situation went down. What a certain segment of the community doesn’t realize is that This interaction including the arrest in processing is the way about 95% of interactions occur with the police on a daily basis without any media attention because proper policing with respectful police and respectful violators do not get clicks on the Internet and do not sell on TV unless they are controversial.
But isn’t it amazing that if people are cooperative, don’t resist and don’t flee from the police, everybody goes home safely.
Clearly, there are some idiot officers out there and those officers should be dealt with appropriately on a case by case basis and disciplined and or fired as necessary.
yt automatic subtitles: 'I literally dropping off my homegirl'.. 'Applause'.. 'he's gonna get a ticket anyway'.. 'applause'..
Do Cops ride around listening to that intro theme?
He be literally lying, literally
He literally uses literally every time he gets a chance to say literally… Literally.
The dude got "baby lungs" fr 🤣
Cops are never “concerned.†Deny and do not consent.
I'm out of breath watching this guy and now I need a drink!
