San Diego California Lawyer DUI news:

Police officer Brock became a rock star deputy known for making a record number of drunk drivers and locking them up.

But the puffed up numbers came at the expense of innocent victims.

A lengthy internal affairs investigation showed dozens of people arrested for DUIs who weren’t even drunk.

Leo Palacious got caught in Brock’s zealous round-up.

Leo says Deputy Brock falsely accused him of drinking and driving while he was at home.

“He didn’t show no remorse. He just said, ‘another one!!’…he told me he’s locked up a lot of people for DUI,” Palacious said.

Last summer, Leo had been drinking when he began arguing with his father at their Riverview home. A nervous relative called police. Minutes later, Deputy Brock showed up.

“’Are you Leo? Yes, lets go.’ Just grabbed me and stuck me in the car and we took off and he went and gave me a field sobriety test”, explained Palacious.

Shocked, confused and bewildered, Leo hired an attorney and had the charges dropped.

But Leo wasn’t alone.

David Chalela represents another victim who was arrested in 2002 for DUI and disorderly conduct. But records show when she took a breathalyzer, she blew a .00.

“We feel this is a very egregious case of abuse of police authority,” said Chalela Those charges were also dropped.

Aside from bogus arrests, investigators say Brock violated policy by taking into custody more than one alleged drunk driver at a time.

In addition, 40 percent of the time, there was no dash cam video, and often, no field sobriety test.

As for Leo’s brush with a rogue cop, it’s shaken his confidence in those who wear the uniform.

“I know there are some good ones and some bad ones. That day, I got a bad one,” he said.
