Weyker said she suffered a fractured neck as a result of the crash which happened in February 2013. Her injuries were too severe to allow her to give a field sobriety test or even a breath sample, she told WITI-TV. Without any evidence, another law enforcement officer arrested Weyker anyway on five separate charges including drunk driving causing injury.
The deputy, Joseph Quiles, was clearly at fault when he crashed into a car being driven by Tanya Weyker. Even so, she was arrested on drunk driving charges.
In his official report, Quiles wrote that he stopped at the stop sign and looked both ways before pulling out. He told a Milwaukee police officer that he never saw any headlights, even though Weyker’s Camry had lights that come on automatically.
However WITI obtained video from a nearby surveillance camera that showed the squad car turning without making a complete stop.
At the hospital, doctors took blood samples from Weyker. Later tests found she had no alcohol in her system. It took months, however, for charges against Wyeker to be dismissed by the district attorney.
Wyeker said she is waiting for the state to pay her medical bills for the crash. She has also filed a complaint against the deputy, which could lead to a lawsuit against the county.

Like I've repeated before, cops aren't professional, will lie to advance their careers, and aren't "serving and protecting" the public. So record every interaction between you and cops, you won't be aorry you did
As with anything, there are good examples and there are bad examples. Another "bad" example is a story a coworker told me his daughter experienced with New Jersey's finest. In a similar type situation, a cop hit her (ran a stop sign), only this time the cop had been drinking. Her car was wrecked, and the other officers immediately took this officer away from the scene. She was charged with causing the accident, and the very next day the stop signs were moved to the opposite road! The only proof they could get to defend this was images the local paper took. However, the paper was not able to release those images until after their court date. She ended up losing the case, her car was wrecked and she had to front the bills. Justice was not served that day.
