Zavier Simpson video from crash provided by Ann Arbor police
He doesn't seem drunk or under the influence, but it's still cringe worthy because he is lying through his teeth.

Do you ever post anything good about Michigan?
February 28th, 2020 at 11:03 AM ^
Are you offended or butt hurt every time you hear something negative about Michigan? Michigan does bad things too man, hate to break it to ya... We have to hold ourselves accountable as well. You'll be okay
February 28th, 2020 at 11:10 AM ^
No, but here's an image that perfectly encapsulates your response.
February 28th, 2020 at 11:26 AM ^
Well it appears you have the intellectual intelligence of a young boy. I'm sorry
February 28th, 2020 at 11:30 AM ^
This illustration makes me glad I'm not a doctor.
February 28th, 2020 at 11:51 AM ^
no need to be a doctor to enact this illustration! Give her the ol' college try on yourself
February 28th, 2020 at 1:28 PM ^
...such an intellectual.
February 28th, 2020 at 2:01 PM ^
How is that intellectual? Or how did you attempt to read it as being intellectual?
February 28th, 2020 at 2:51 PM ^
Things aren't going well for you, big fella. Might just be time to stop.
February 28th, 2020 at 3:09 PM ^
How do you figure? I'm having a great time. Some people just can't stand when someone tries to challenge their ideas. That's on them, not me
February 28th, 2020 at 12:57 PM ^
Y'know that probably feels pretty good given the right circumstances.
February 28th, 2020 at 1:14 PM ^
can confirm
February 28th, 2020 at 1:20 PM ^
This whole discussion belongs in the drinking thread, gentlemen
February 28th, 2020 at 10:07 AM ^
Thanks, Obama.
February 28th, 2020 at 10:20 AM ^
That's the rumor ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
February 28th, 2020 at 10:29 AM ^
OK Boomer!
/did I do that right?
February 28th, 2020 at 10:09 AM ^
These days, people overuse the word cringe. It's definitely cringe worthy and always makes me cringe. Stay woke!
February 28th, 2020 at 10:11 AM ^
Lit comment bro, yeet!
February 28th, 2020 at 10:16 AM ^
?THIS comment slaps.
February 28th, 2020 at 11:07 AM ^
Very on fleek
February 28th, 2020 at 11:41 AM ^
CEO of fleek here.
February 28th, 2020 at 10:51 AM ^
Low key thats hittin home fam.
February 28th, 2020 at 6:25 PM ^
No cap. For real.
February 28th, 2020 at 10:18 AM ^
This video makes the situation seem pretty mild. The initial description made it sound like the cops probably should have given him a breathalyzer, but they didn't because they recognized him. He doesn't seem impaired at all in this video, so I get why they didn't do that.
February 28th, 2020 at 10:40 AM ^
I'm too lazy to look but didn't Michigan (the state of) do away with breathalyzers?
February 28th, 2020 at 10:53 AM ^
Yes, however, they can still require you to submit to a BAC test via blood draw if they suspect you have been drinking. Obviously they didn't suspect he was drinking, and I probably wouldn't have either if I were them. However, I wouldn't believe him for a second when he said he wasn't driving the car, and didnt know who was.
February 28th, 2020 at 11:24 AM ^
Blood draw would require a warrant, which would require probable cause. The only information they had for sure was that he was in a vehicle that crashed at 3 AM. Not a great look to be sure, but if he did not appear intoxicated and didn't smell of alcohol and they had no witnesses or other evidence to show he was driving, I don't see the leap to probable cause existing...
February 28th, 2020 at 11:28 AM ^
I didn't say that it was. In fact, I DID say that I didn't think there was probably cause. TF? Did ready my whole response?
February 28th, 2020 at 11:52 AM ^
Everything you just said is more than enough for probable cause. There are other substances that can alter your judgement other than alcohol btw.
February 28th, 2020 at 10:20 AM ^
Well the big “conspiracy” theory was that he was wasted and AAPD let it slide, but the video doesn’t give any indication of that. He got issued a ticket for crashing the vehicle, got a game suspension and life moves on. And before the Sparties get outraged, even if he had been drinking, ask how many games Eron Harris missed for getting a DUI almost double the limit? The answer is zero.
February 28th, 2020 at 10:43 AM ^
Double post
February 28th, 2020 at 10:43 AM ^
He didn't get a ticket for crashing it, he got a ticket for "speeding"
February 28th, 2020 at 10:54 AM ^
* "Speeding due to weather conditions"
Usually given after a crash, where it can be determined the proper level of caution wasn't taken.
February 28th, 2020 at 11:06 AM ^
Ok? The ticket was still for speeding. If you look up his records you will see a speeding ticket, and absolutely nothing about reckless driving, lying to a police officer, failure to have your ID, etc. Bet you i'd get a ticket in this situation!
February 28th, 2020 at 11:37 AM ^
It's not illegal to lie to the police, why would that be on the record?
February 28th, 2020 at 11:56 AM ^
Ummm, yes it is?
February 28th, 2020 at 2:56 PM ^
Never lie to cops.
Never say anything to cops.
Shut the fuck up and assert your rights
February 28th, 2020 at 11:46 AM ^
Nope. I got pulled over in Ann Arbor for driving with a broken muffler. I lied to the police officer and said I didn't realize my muffler was broken--which was totally ludicrous given the sound my car was making. I Didn't have my license on me. They "arrested me", put me in hand cuffs (right there on East Ann), and wrote me a ticket and let me go but all I had to do was show up at the police station with my license within 48 hours to get the ticket expunged.
The police won't give you a ticket for lying to them. It is impossible to prove and pointless. You're not under oath or required to answer their questions anyway. Particularly without a lawyer present or to incriminate yourself.
You're trying very hard to be upset here.
February 28th, 2020 at 12:10 PM ^
Just because you most likely won’t get arrested for something doesn’t mean it is legal. For instance, I speed everyday. Sometimes while passing right by a cop, yet I don’t get an infraction. Is it still illegal to speed? Yes. So I understand your point with your story, but I he bottom line is that it’s still against a law to lie to police about your name. Do you NOT see how lying to police officers can be a problem, and why there’s a law for it?
and I’m not upset at all??? It’s Friday, I’m happy as hell! And I certainly won’t lose any sleep over this situation. Just because I have an opposing opinion doesn’t mean I’m upset. Good grief lol good try though
February 28th, 2020 at 1:22 PM ^
It is illegal in Michigan to lie to police about a crime... but most traffic tickets aren't crimes, but civil infractions.
February 28th, 2020 at 1:41 PM ^
Nobody used the word crime here? Key word here is Legal/Illegal.
February 28th, 2020 at 3:59 PM ^
It is illegal to lie to the police about a crime - it is prosecutable under Michigan law as making a false report about a crime.
It is not illegal to lie to the police about a non-crime.
The key word is legality - and that legality depends on whether what you are lying about is a crime or not.
February 28th, 2020 at 1:35 PM ^
They detained you in cuffs for not having a license on you ? I have been pulled over at least 5 times with no license on me. I just tell them my name and the look me up in their system. Has never been an issue at all. Weird.
February 28th, 2020 at 1:43 PM ^
Depends on the cop that you get. Obviously
February 28th, 2020 at 11:06 AM ^
Well, apparently every time I post today, it's going to be a double post... Sweet lol
February 28th, 2020 at 11:15 AM ^
then just stop posting
February 28th, 2020 at 11:28 AM ^
Makes me want to post more :)
February 28th, 2020 at 11:28 AM ^
Welcome suspicious troll guy
February 28th, 2020 at 12:04 PM ^
There’s a difference between a troll, and someone you disagree with. :)
