Because you don't know how to read through a thread and you think he was caught for his 4th DUI, or because he's a cop and he busted someone for DUI? Either way, you're an idiot. You lose, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Kthxbye.

Seriously. Most of us know you're a cop, but why the hell do you have to be a troll about your DUI arrests by having the thread titles be like that?

Because it makes the forums more interesting?
 
jlee, is it an absolute no-no for someone to pass you when you're already doing the limit? Is that an automatic pull-over?

I'm always interested in that.

Thankfully, most times I encounter cops on the road, they are either going above or below the speed limit, not at the limit. So either I let them pass me (or get way ahead of me), or they are going 5mph under and I can pass them and slowly, ever so slowly, build up the distance between them and I, and eventually get to a distance where I can push the accelerator a little more. 🙂

jlee - another question regarding DUIs, specifically relating to this type of arrest.

Is it possible in any way to avoid a DUI by sleeping in your car and throwing your keys someplace not by the drivers seat? Maybe pass out in the back seat or passenger seat? Or, is it as I have heard, that the keys need to be outside of the vehicle if you are going to purposefully pass out inside the vehicle after drinking?

My understanding:
It's called "Actual Physical Control". So, if you have access to the keys, you get arrested.
Best to hide the keys (it was suggested to me to place them under the tire then let the car coast over them/hide them under a rock) and then when the cop asks where they are, lie. Say a friend has them/lost them/etc. But, hopefully you aren't so drunk that in the morning you forget what you did with them.
You are also likely to get arrested for drunk in public or some such similar charge if they find you drunk.
 
LOL, I accept said fail 🙂

Used to much fail from ATOT, and assumed the wrong waaaay, thanks for doing the good OP.

In my defense, I think he meant for this to happen 🙂

any charge that's not DUI is likely better than DUI. It's a worthwhile last ditch effort to escape possibly getting a DUI, and if I ever find myself without a ride and I had driven there but let myself get drunk.. I'll probably take that route. I cannot afford a DUI because that's means Army Commission = bye bye, and while a Drunk in Public charge will likely see something fun from higher ups come down on me, it'd be better than getting stripped of Commission.

Lo and behold, my chance to educate the educator :biggrin:

DUI= Driving under the influence
DWI= Driving while impaired

I don't think there is much legal difference between the two. Just different terminology though I do think DWI is a better term. You could just be ass tired and you are driving, that means you are DWI.

Unless DrPizza there is actually 2 different charges in your area? If so do elaborate.

I didn't realize that. Around here, there are two charges; DWI - driving while intoxicated, and DUI - driving under the influence. DUI is the lesser offense.
DWI is > .08%
DUI is < .08%, but ability impaired.

they can charge you when your within the legal limit?!
What kind of bullshit is that? What do they do to determine whether your ability is impaired or not?
Can that have the same impacts in a person's life as the, in this case, DWI, can have?

There are legal limits for a reason. Being able to get charged when your following legal limits, thus following the law, seems wrong... especially when the "ability is impaired" concept can easily range from cop to cop, with some pushing the "if you had 2 drinks, you're impaired" bullshit angle.

It's pretty simple actually. Not everyone can operate a vehicle after having a couple drinks. Some people just can't hold their liquor. Everyone has seen that person that is fall down drunk after two beers. If an officer pulls you over and deems that you are not able to operate the vehicle safetly they have the responsibility to get you off the road. Say you blew a .05 but shouldn't be driving and they let you go. You drive two miles down the road and take out a family of five. Who do you think is going to get sued? Don't drink and drive folks, not a difficult concept. Personally I think the limit should be .02.

I don't think that I've ever seen a cop doing the limit. They are either stopped, or speeding.

Which suits me just fine.
 
Your parents must be so proud of the fine human being you have become. Truly, you are disgusting, and should be locked away with the key thrown out to prevent you from killing and/or injuring someone. Obviously this is the fourth time you have been caught, but not the fourth time you have been this stupid.

And yet another fail. They just keep coming :biggrin:
Nobody reads do they?
 
People with more than 1 DUI should be beaten with a tire iron before being allowed to leave the jail. Maybe brute force can beat into them what being arrested cannot.

I just lost an uncle friday and my aunt was also in the car and probably will die as well because some drunk 26 yr old ran a stop sign he said he didn't see.

MF should be dragged behind the car through the crossing from the way he approached it.
