I you were not drunk and driving, there is no problem. If you were drunk and driving and they pulled you over, its your fault - not the cops.

*sigh* pretty F****n simple.

$.02 drinker


Unfortunately, being innocent is no guarantee that you will not be arrested, charged and even found guilty of any number of charges. Always know your rights.

Were they sincerely trying to keep people safe, the cops would give breathalizer tests as folks left the tavern. Those that failed would be asked for their keys. They could pick them up the next day.

You needed a Designated drunk.

Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a bar in Escanaba , Michigan after last call the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so apparently intoxicated that he could barely walk. The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity in which he tried his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his car and fall into it.

He sat there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off. Finally he started the car, switched the wipers on and off--it was a fine, dry summer night--, flicked the blinkers on and off a couple of times, honked the horn and then switched on the lights.

He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little and then remained still for a few more minutes as some more of the other patrons' vehicles left.

At last, when his was the only car left in the parking lot, he pulled out and drove slowly down the road.

The police officer, having waited patiently all this time, now started up his patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over and administered a breathalyzer test.

To his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no evidence that the man
had consumed any alcohol at all! Dumbfounded, the officer said, "I'll
have to ask you to accompany me to the police station. This breathalyzer equipment must be broken." "I doubt it," said the truly proud Yooper.

"Tonight I'm the designated decoy."
