@Copwatchtv obtained body camera footage of an incident that happened in New Mexico of a New State Police Officer pulling over one his own.
Edgar Madrid, 31, is a New Mexico State Police officer and was off duty when he was speeding on the interstate. An on duty police officer clocked him going 90MPH in a 65MPH zone.
Madrid was charged with aggravated DWI, driving without insurance, driving without a license. He was placed on administrative leave.

Two coors light and a dirty bourbon isn’t shit this dude was straight….
Isn’t a conflict of interest when a cop in the same department conducts the sobriety test? I thought usually another agency would be called in to do the test.
This arresting officer is a pea brained fool.
Those Tests are bunk
I would struggle with them sober ffs. Complete cash grab
WTF
“Imaginary line?†Hope he has a good lawyer.
I become a policeman so I can drunk drive. Diplomatic Immunity while traveling. I don't answer to local laws. I,m federal all over the country
he passed the test
The FST is extremely SUBJECTIVE and not objective. He performed the test to almost PERFECT with just losing his balance counting 1022. Even an athlete would have lost balance eventually.
The cop let him keep going until that inevitability occurred so he could use that as a weapon reason to arrest him
That is why FST's should be outlawed as they are FLAWED.
The Breath test is sufficient enough.
This cop WANTED to gind this guy drunk by making him hold 22 seconds balanced on 1 leg..COME ON…imagine this Fu**er making a 70-80 year old or prosthetic leg or person with a bad knee or knee replacements..
The FST MUST be abandoned as over-zealous cops use it not as a tool but a weapon.
I would be interested to know what Trooper Madrid's intoxometer breath test scored.
As for the reckless speeding, no id, that's a sure conviction but not anything he needs to be worried about losing his job.he should definitely catch a serious suspension for that.
As for the cop who stopped him, HE ABSOLUTELY LOVED DOING WHAT HE DID.
I imagine no cop in his barracks trusts him.
Yeah this trooper was a Dick for not letting someone else drive his truck home, he’ll have his day in court and when they see the body cam it will be dismissed
That’s why there should be two officers involved with these tests!!
The fact that he admitted drinking before driving is where the officer got him IMO. Other than that this guy passed tests. I would definitely lawyer up.
Evidently no one passes a field sobriety test.
This one is not drunk!!! The cop running the traffic stop is DRUNK… DRUNK WITH WAY TOO MUCH POWER!!! (👮 ='s 🤡)
Just goes to prove the tests mean nothing. As soon as they ask you to do them, you should know you will be arrested. Luckily for him, his lawyer will use the bodycam footage to his advantage, and he will not be convicted.
Malibu most wanted😂😂😂
Arresting officer is Raymundo Lujan III, who has an INSANE number of DWI stops. Like, back in 2017 was in the news for arresting over 100 people just 10 months into the year. Something doesn't smell right…
Bro passes all of the tests better rn I do sober. Believe me I’ve checked.
Could have at least let the other person drive. Towing it was messed up.
Because its a likable dude everyone in the comments have suddenly different standards
I’ve seen loads of drunk people. This guys wasn’t at all drunk. Maybe over the limit in a breathalyzer but not a bit drunk.
Goes to show that field sobriety tests are 100% unscientific bullshit.
No license or insurance?! How was this guy a state cop?? I see a lot of comments defending him and I will agree he did pretty good on the test but other than that, pretty stupid.
He passed. Guilty of speeding.
This is a good kid it’s unfortunate he is human and young
I thought he did well on the field sobriety tests, but should have never admitted to having more than one drink, after saying so at the beginning…
How are you able to be a state cop with expired DL?
I never got the point of the field sobriety test if you fail the breathalyzer your done anyway just get straight to the point
I wouldnt be able to walk that straight of a line while sober. He wasnt drunk. But still, enough alcohol that couldve effected his driving. The officer was being a power trip. Towed the truck and everything. Dick.
Most of the DUI videos I like seeing them go to jail, but this one I don't think he should have been arrested.. Police officer or not..
Crazy how u would lock up a fellow brother.
He passed the test with flying colors seems personal to me.
Damn, that was the most respectful, sober lookin man ever tested. He aced the tests.
Wait, I’m confused… the PBT is voluntary, right? Is New Mexico different? You can usually refuse the FST and PBT, but you MUST take the actual Breathalyzer back at station or consent to a Blood Teat. Seemed to me like he was telling him he’d automatically lose his license for refusing a PBT.
Anyone else notice that?
WTF, fab tests are total bullshit. This guy is an idiot for doing 90 after drinking, but he passed those tests with flying colors. I want to know what his BAC level actually was.
Something is "fishy" about this whole stop
This has got to be one of the quickest and most efficient DUI investigations I’ve ever seen. That being said this guy seemed completely sober.
This was bs, guy passed with flying colors. Honestly hope the pos arresting officer gets fired for this one.
First time I've seen someone smoke every single test. And then as a cop himself should know to shut up and he could have beat that. I could do those test 10x sober and wouldn't have scored as good as him. I truly believe he did only have 2 beers which doesn't excuse the fact that drinking and driving is for punks
That cop is constantly sniffing, that mofo snorted a line
Like, he passed.
Strange how inebriated police officers never take the test, what’s up with that?
Troopers gonna troop.. kinda jacked up he did that to one of his own .
The fact that he didn’t even give them an option to take the truck and just tow it shows that it was more to this arrest. It seems personal and this cop wanted to get him for all he could. Shame
In Albuquerque, dirty cops were arresting people for supposed DUI then not showing up to court because they got kick backs or some other incentive from a dirty lawyer. It’s big local NM news right now. Over 150 cases were just dismissed by the DA because these cops are too dirty to be believed. Makes me wonder what this arrest was really about. Sad that increasingly law enforcement is tough to trust.
This was personal. Probably was out to dinner with the other officers wife.
As a former deputy I can say this guy wasn’t drunk at all. Ridiculous. Seems personal to me.
He passed this SFST tests no question. Wrongful arrest. Sue that crooked cop!
From what I saw… He passed those tests with flying colors. He could have easily made it home safely. I don't agree with this arrest at all. I think that cop was just trying to make an example out of him. Smh
Seemed to show that he did the test ok just goes to show the FCT is just a gimmick meant to humiliate drivers
He did great on sobriety tests, this man didn’t seem intoxicated?
