I just tell them "LOOK ! I JACK OFF PIGS DO YOU REALLY WANT TO MESS WITH ME !"

Usually they run back to ther squad car and drive away as fast as possible. Although this one got a big smile and asked me to the show to watch brokeback mountain with him.

So what you're saying is you never get a ticket...

I do think, however, .08 is reeruned.

basically 1 beer and you're 'drunk'.

whatever.

While in no way would I ever condone drinking and driving I do think it's ridiculous that someone who has been drinking for years is judged the same as an amateur.

$$$

not to get off topic, but I need to look at the legality of DUI check points.
just from an interesting read/topic perspective.

Don't waste youre time

already been beaten by a dead horse apparently?

Yeah, that's not true. The PC is the alcohol (legit or otherwise) they smell on your breath. And obvious lying isn't going to ingratiate you with the cop.

If you're tanked, just hand them a card stating you're exercising your 5th Amendment rights and roll the window back up. If you're convinced you're sober, just ask for the breath test, as others recommended.

The tough call is when you're in between.

I was in muni court recently and the judge slapped a 1st time DUI with a 2 year ignition lock. Way harsh.

Not all jurisdictions get a warrant. There's a case up at the Supreme Court on the issue.

That, and it will just piss you off

1) If you are drunk you WILL smell like booze. Open the sun roof/moon roof (why is there a difference?) and keep the windows only cracked enough to pass your information.

2) Keep the vents on to blow clean air in.

3) Avoid getting pulled over. Most of the FST's or DRE training the cops get only requires you to speak or perform (or not perform) the most basic of functions.

4) DO NOT take the most direct route home. The shorter the distance you give someone to evaluate your performance the smaller the sample size. Make turns. Often. Stop often. Turn again.

If you're drunk and on the highway someone will spot you. It's inevitable.

5)Any time it's even a question a cab call is always less expensive than a fine...

That's not necessarily true. I drank 6 in 90 minutes and blew a .041. My fatness saved my ass that night. Buddy was way less "drunk" than I but also lighter and blew a .079. The cop had me drive. ROFL

lol. wow.
wonder how many it would take for my fatass to go over.

my BIL is a state troooper; maybe I could borrow his breatalyzer and see how long it takes lol
