Honolulu Police Department Faces Lawsuit Over DUI Arrests of Sober Drivers

A class action lawsuit has been filed against the Honolulu Police Department (HPD), alleging that the police have made numerous DUI arrests of sober drivers. The lawsuit claims that HPD arrested 127 drivers for impaired driving despite them being sober, and it is suggested that officers were incentivized to make these arrests. The ACLU is also involved, accusing the city of wrongful arrests and highlighting a concerning trend in law enforcement practices focused on increasing DUI arrest statistics.
