I swear most of the police blotter items start with "officer so and so noticed an air freshener hanging from the rear view mirror and pulled the suspect over." Haven't used one of them in years.
While it was an inconvenience for you, it was 4am, only a small fraction of people who are out at this time are not committing a crime. ticket.
Minor finder bender with young punk (stopped on a yellow and I bumped him from behind). There was only a minor dent in his bumper and no damage to the jeep. He was all no problem man so I go home and have a few Very stiff drinks to calm the nervers. 2 hours later knock at the door asking me to step outside (whiskey and coke in hand when I open the door). Cop says guy says I hit him and took off and he got my tag. He says he smells alcohol on my breath, and ask if I will do a field sobriety test. I say (stupidly) sure, but I won't pass, been drinking for two hours.
Cop handcuffs me and ask to see my jeep. Show it to him in the garage, and he sees dead bugs next to the bumber stop and says looks like Paint transfer. I beg him to take a picture.
Several thousand dollars and months later, plus suspended licence for refusal of breath test, Judge tells cop in court he is very lucky if I don't sue him for 4th admendment violations.
I will admit before that I drove after drinking way more times than I should, but still have a bad taste for cops with napolean complexes.
I imagine being a police officer is like working the phones--you deal with a lot of people all the time, and the cool, nice people get extra-special treatment, and the dickheads get the other end of the mash paddle.

Why can't more people realize this?

Looking back on it, the third guy with us was apparently a big weed head back then and we didn't know it. Had they searched the car I think they would have found some grass and we'd be off to the Pen. that would have sucked.

Wow. Just wow. I think you need a beer or seven.

How about these crooked bankers embezzling money or cheating taxes, or his accountant for setting this up for him. How about athletes shooting up with steroids???? How about "salesmen" taking your money?? Is this stereotyping???? ONE bad person can make ANY profession seem bad!!!

Wow, so you were drinking at work, and then broke the law by drinking and driving. Gotta say I'm on the cops side on this and most other issues. If you're gonna take the chance to risk another persons life, no matter how good of a driver you are, you'd better just buck up if you happen to get pulled over and quit your whining. I have nothing but respect for police, even the dickheads and the crooked ones. They're out there every day doing a job to make this country a better place to live. Anyone who has a problem with cops has a problem with America and yadda yadda blah blah blah explicative you know where I'm going with this.
Driving after one beer is not breaking the law.
