No it was Chuck Norris.
I bout choked on my beer on that one Maf. A&W that is

X2 on that...
Now IF an agency used this tech, would they not be required to let it be known to the populace that it was in play beforehand or is this just another tentacle of the nanny/ police state?
 
The fines should start low at .1 and progress as bac increases, and also give the officer latitude to consider how/where the driver was driving.


FWIW, I have buried friends killed in alcohol related accidents.
It sucks, but death of all kinds is all around us. It's part of life & we are all gonna die one day.

First...Sorry for your loss of friends, but if you think that LEO doesn't ALREADY have that latitude you are dreaming. You CAN be convicted blowing under the limit if in the LEO's OPINION....you were impared. Field sobriety (step out of the car please) test unleashes the human element. and how many humans are perfect?
 
When I was 18 I got pulled over. Was working shift work and had been up for 52 hrs. Was out late on 4th of July weekend. Necking with the girlfriend.

Guess I drifted over into the turning lane twice. Got a field sobriety test. Failed a couple of them. Not one of the 4 deputies had a breathalyzer.

I had nothing to drink and was just very tired. They let me go. No ticket or anything.

Just thought I would share this story to let you know I'm not perfect.

You were just as impaired as many of the people you condemn.:mmph:
 
Only problem I have with drinking while I drive is deciding what to do with the hand that is not holding the beer. Should I put down the cell phone or the joint?:face-icon-small-con

let the joint go...your probably squeezing it too tight and that's keeping ya from going pee anyway..
 
I have never drove drunk or buzzed. That's what my wife is for :).

I will have a beer or 2 max at dinner and I will drive home. I have a CDL so my limit is .04. So I'm not risking it.

Does that answer your question you restrained skidoo rider from Montana?

You admitted it right here. You drink and drive. What a hypocrite. drinkinganddriving.org show 2 beers at dinner (1 hour) for a 200 lb male shows a BAC at .04 which puts you at risk for a DUI at .04 with a CDL. Your risking more than you than you think.
 
Hilarious thread, it must be hard to be perfect. I'll never have to worry about that ;) People make bad choices, and people make mistakes. We are all human. There is a big difference between drinking and driving and drunk driving. Do I agree with drunk driving...no!. Have I done it......yes. I know I did more than my fair share of it in my younger days, how I never got a DUI or killed myself or someone else, I don't know, luck I guess. One thing I do know, is if someone kicked my a$$ for it, I still wouldn't have quit doing it. Hell, senior year in highscool I was involved in a drunk driving accident, I was not driving I was a passenger, but my buddy who was driving hit a street sign at about 60 mph. Sign post broke off at ground, sign hit the cab right above him just above the windshield, and it hit the cab so hard that it exploded the windshield. Had the sign been a few inches shorter it would have come through the windshield and probably took his head off. Did that stop my drinking and driving drunk.....no. What did was growing up and maturing and becoming a resposible adult. Unfortunately, some people never grow up and mature. I do not have a problem with responsible people having 1 or 2 (depending on tolerance) with dinner, or after work and then driving home. Key word is RESPONSIBILITY and knowing your limits if you are going to drive.
 
Figured I might get one this last holiday weekend. But no luck. Rest assured. Ill get one eventually. Ill post pics of my cell mate when I do.
 
Tell me where you wanna meet.
Ill be the one in coveralls and a John deer ball cap.
