Lawsuit Alleges Honolulu Police Wrongfully Arrested Sober Drivers for DUI
The ACLU of Hawaii filed a lawsuit against the Honolulu Police Department, alleging that officers are unlawfully arresting sober drivers for impaired driving, driven by quotas and incentives rather than probable cause. The department has announced a review of all such arrests since 2021, following reports of innocent drivers being detained and damaged records, with the lawsuit seeking to declare the department's practices unconstitutional.
