That guy did nothing wrong. The cop got all nasty because he didn't want to roll his window down all the way. That's his constitutional right.

How about the Las Vegas Review Journal?

Bullshit.

That's a perfect way for someone to pretend like they're complying while they're hiding a weapon behind a tinted, barely cracked open window.

I would like to think they pistol whipped the little ****er once they had him out of the car, then sliced open all his upholstery while "searching" for drugs.

Wut?

It's a dui checkpoint. How exactly was the officer to determine if he was driving under the influence when the driver hid behind the window? IMO, his actions produced the appearance that he was under the influence and warranted the investigation.

Also, how is one to be certain that what he stated was true?


You probably thought that The Purge was a good movie concept didn't you?

To the best of your knowledge, what laws did the driver of the vehicle violate?

I'm not really sure how a forum discussion on a speeding ticket relates to this case. Could you please elaborate?

Also, it states on your speeding ticket forum that nothing was suspected, however, admittedly this guy stated that the officer said the drug dog went off.

I'm not 100% clear of the location of this stop (probably said but I didn't notice) and don't know the dui checkpoint laws because, to my understanding, they vary state by state.

However, everything else being equal, isn't there an awful lot being taken on faith by the public concerning this man's word?

That is bullshit. The cops will write "strong smell of alcoholic beverages" from 20 feet away.

The asshole in Clay's video was looking for trouble and he got exactly what he was looking for. Why else would he have a camera set up pointing directly at his driver side window?

At a DUI checkpoint, the police at least need to be able to see and smell inside the vehicle for the checkpoint to be effective. Only cracking your window and acting suspicious gives the police the indication that you are hiding something. It makes their job harder and aggravating. They were there to try to get drunk drivers off the road. Does anyone have a problem with this? I for one want the police to do everything they legally can to stop people from driving drunk.

Dude **** this little punk. He was instigating this whole thing before he ever got there or he wouldn't have had the camera positioned and everything the way he did. This little punk was trying to start some shit. If you go looking for trouble and you find it. It is still your fault since you went looking.

The comments in that line of discussion should have made that plain to see, and there was even one post specifically discussing a DUI stop:

There were several different examples given. It wasn't just about speeding tickets. The thread was about just rolling the window down a crack and its legality. That was the question that started it off, as a matter of fact.

I'm not sure if you missed that part.

I, personnally, found the thread illuminating as to just how petty a lot of the officers were willing to admit to being about people daring to exercise their rights. LA Dep was a particularly vivid example of this:

No. I simply asked you what laws he'd violated and pointed you to a police officer's forum where they were acknowledging that just rolling the window down a little bit wasn't illegal, and many of them were noting that they didn't have a problem with it.

In the case at hand, the officer tells another officer that the "man" is innocent and knows his rights, and that there really wasn't much of a hit. Did you miss that? Did I mishear it?

LMAO Constitutional right?

crooked redneck POS

Typical anonymous poster blanket post.

We do, it's more like a union than a doctors malpractice insurance. But rest assured if I do something blatantly illegal, the department and the union will not help me and I can be liable in court for any and all belongings.
