Justin Bieber DUI Plea Deal Offered No Sizzurp, No Weed
Justin Bieber has become the next contestant in a high-stakes game of Let's Make a Deal ... and door #1 is JAIL. Door #2 is way better, but he has to be sober.
Law enforcement sources tell us ... the Florida State Attorney has offered Justin a plea deal in his DUI/resisting arrest case ... and we know the terms.
Prosecutors will DROP the DUI and resisting arrest charges, but in return Bieber must:
-- Plead no contest to reckless driving
-- Complete 40 hours of community service
-- Attend an alcohol ed course
-- Attend a "victim impact panel" (where relatives of DUI victims share their stories)
-- Install an ignition interlock device for 3 months
Now here's the rub. Prosecutors also want Bieber to submit to random drug testing, and not just in Florida. He'll have to submit his travel plans to the court and authorities will set up random testing wherever he happens to be ... at his expense. And testing will last between 6 and 9 months.
Assuming he complies with all the terms and PASSES the drug tests, the reduced plea will formally be entered.
The question -- Will Bieber accept the deal or risk trial, where worst case scenario he could end up in the pokey.

Justin Bieber Arresting DUI Officer Has Big Credibility Problems
The Miami Beach cop who claimed he stopped Justin Bieber last month because he was drag racing has been called on the carpet numerous times for misconduct ... TMZ has learned.
Officer Steven Cosner wrote in his police report he observed cars driven by Bieber and Khalil in the middle of a drag race -- at speeds between 55 and 60 MPH. TMZ broke the story ... the GPS tracking system shows in the middle of the so-called drag race, the maximum speed of the cars was 27 MPH.
We're told Bieber's legal eagles believe Cosner is lying, and now they have some firepower.
TMZ has obtained numerous Miami Beach PD internal affairs documents, which show Cosner has been accused of misconduct 15 times -- from 2001 to 2012. Of those, Cosner failed to show up for court hearings 5 times. In each case he was reprimanded -- 3 verbal warnings and 2 write-ups.
Our sources say ... Bieber's lawyer will raise the issue ... Cosner may not have shown up for court because he may not have wanted to be placed under oath. In other words, if you lie under oath you can be prosecuted for perjury.
On another occasion in 2006 the PD says he committed 3 offenses -- violating the rules of "courtesy and respect," "Off duty/secondary employment," and "unlawful compensation." For those violations he was suspended.
In 2007 Cosner was accused of offensive conduct/language. For some reason the allegation seems to still be "open" in that case.
And in 2011 Cosner was written up for sleeping on duty.
As for the remaining 7 cases ...Cosner was exonerated by Internal Affairs.
Cosner's record could create problems for prosecutors if the DUI case goes to trial.

Bree Walker, a famous 80s news anchor and reporter ... was busted for DUI in Orange County, CA -- and her poor dog was also taken into custody ... TMZ has learned.
Anaheim police arrested Walker around 12:30 AM Wednesday after she was initially pulled over for running a red light.
Police smelled booze ... put her through a field sobriety test -- which they say she failed -- and 61-year-old Walker was taken to jail.
Law enforcement sources tell us Walker's pit bull Petey was in the car with her, but since Bree lives in L.A. County ... no one was available to pickup the dog. We're told animal control took custody of Petey.
Walker -- who was once married to famed sportscaster Jim Lampley -- was booked for misdemeanor DUI, and released a few hours later ... aka once she sobered up.
Unclear at this point if she sprung Petey yet.
Walker worked local news in New York, L.A., and San Diego -- and did a stint in rehab for booze a few years ago.

3 Doors Down Bassist Another DUI Mug Shot
3 Doors Down bassist Todd Harrell has figured out a way to spruce up his DUI mug shot ... with a blue do-rag and a goofy grin.
Harrell was arrested last night in D'Iberville, Miss. ... police say they found him slumped over the steering wheel at an intersection.
According to cops ... the DUI involves some sort of drug ... not alcohol.
Harrell has a serious DUI history ... he was busted for killing someone last April and charged with
vehicular homicide. His car struck a pickup truck, killing the driver. Cops say he was under the influence of alcohol and Rx pills. The criminal case is pending.
His first brush with DUI was back in July 2012. So he's no stranger to driving under the influence. He was convicted but did no jail time ... he was required to take an alcohol ed course.
We're guessing he flunked.

Justin Bieber Cops Say Video Shows Him Peeing in Jail Cell
Justin Bieber is on the offensive after embarrassing video surfaced of him getting patted down in jail following his DUI arrest in Miami Beach -- TMZ has learned, he's now begging for ALL police video to stay out of the public eye ... including footage of him urinating in his jail cell.
The pat down video surfaced last week -- showing Bieber getting the old "spread 'em" routine -- and his lawyers are upset ... now asking the court to block police from releasing any more footage from the singer's arrest without showing it to them first.
Not only does the footage paint a negative picture of Bieber -- for obvious reasons -- Bieber's lawyers claim additional video inside the station shows the singer in "various states of undress, which show intimate personal parts" of his body.
And law enforcement sources tell TMZ, the "personal parts" in question are revealed while Bieber urinates in his holding cell.
A source who saw the video tells us, "Justin is seen several times stumbling around while he was taking his tests. As if he had a problem with his balance ... [the video] also shows Justin taking his various tests and eventually taking a piss."
