Officers tell driver it's against the law to record the police. No it's not.

A Wilmington, North Carolina police sergeant is shown on video telling a citizen (who was pulled over for a traffic stop) that he is not allowed to record the police due to a "new state law" prohibiting the recording of police interactions. Shortly after that, a New Hanover County Sheriff's deputy agrees with the officer that there is a new state law. There is no such law in North Carolina.

Learn how prescription drugs can affect DWI Tests in North Carolina

If you are stopped for driving under the influence of alcohol and you fail a field sobriety test it is highly likely that you will be arrested on the spot and charged with DWI. In North Carolina, if you are 21 years or older and your blood alcohol concentration is 0.08 percent or above, you are legally impaired. If you are under 21 years of age and have any alcohol in your bloodstream, then you are legally impaired and should not be driving as the state has a zero tolerance policy for underage drinking and driving.
