I am concerned that probable
I am concerned that probable cause is falling by the way side. I personally was stopped on RT 19 @ 1:00 am by a sheriffs deputy. I was going to work early. I questioned why he ran his red lights and pulled me over, and he said I thought you were a little close to the center line?? Totally fabricated. I was let go, because I did nothing wrong. But some of these DWI stops sound like the same thing. I want drunks off the road period. I do not agree with .08, but that's another topic. I do not want law enforcement just pulling over citizens and fabricating he reason.(Like failure to keep right) I feel like we are slowly but surely moving toward a police state, snd I will fight that. Thanks

-there should be extra charges levied against anyone that is past college age and still drinking Natty Light.
;)
Fred: I say you are quite
Fred: I say you are quite correct my friend. Too many cops without enough to do.
Jason: I thought something similar, getting busted over a natty light is just sad.
Jason, I am not defending Mr.
Jason, I am not defending Mr. Williams. But Unlicensed Operation and a beer can in drivers side console is NOT probable cause. didn't even say if it had beer in it or if it was 2 weeks old. Anyways, the deputies (or city Police)could not see that or know who was operating the vehicle when they pulled it over. WHY did they stop the vehicle ?? That was my point. Too many law enforcement folks around, and stopping citizens, then trying to justify the stop!! Thanks
Fred, to be fair, I can
Fred, to be fair, I can recognize people inside vehicles when I'm out and about. If the cop already knew the driver and knew they didn't have a valid license, that's a reason to stop them. If the cop then sees something illegal in plain sight, that's probable cause to investigate farther. I'm not defending the driver or the cop...just pointing out some facts.
Fred - my comment was in no
Fred - my comment was in no way a response to yours. I agree with your point 100%.
DOUG......how dare you
DOUG......how dare you attempt to throw a logical argument into the mix, shame on you....
Fred, I gave you a thumbs up,
Fred, I gave you a thumbs up, but with some reservations.
We all know that drunken driving is a deadly offense. As is the case in so many situations, where do we draw the line with public safety versus privacy rights?
I pose this question to you also Dave.
Bob, I think everyone should
Bob, I think everyone should equip their vehicle with a dash cam and possibly a rear facing cam. Set it up so that the dash cam can be pointed at the driver's window if you get pulled over.
I was trying to be serious,
I was trying to be serious, Doug. It's a very valid question given our nation's state of affairs.
Do I want unjustified searches and seizures? Of course not.
Do I want my grand daughter to be safe? That goes without question.
Where's the balance?
new cars should all be made
new cars should all be made w/ interlock devices. it wouldn't be a perfect cure all, because you could still have someone else blow into it for you, but it would be a way to curb drunk driving without increasing police presence.
I would welcome the added cost of the vehicle.
Bob, I was also being
Bob, I was also being serious. I already use a dash cam in the truck. I think it keeps everyone honest and video doesn't lie.
I don't want me or my
I don't want me or my grandchildren or anyone really to be hit by a drunk driver either, Bob. And I believe Doug was being serious. The question is was the guy weaving around on the road, or did the officer just pull him over because he looked suspicious? I guess we'll never know and I don't trust EVERY officer to be fair about it. Sorry, it's like any other profession, some are good and some are bad. I think something like 1.5 million people get arrested each year for drunk driving, about 35,000 deaths are attributed to drunk driving. Bob, I don't know how to protect the ones we love from senseless accidents, wish I did. I don't think we can, there is just risk inherent in being alive. Ruining someone's life, costing them an average of 10 grand for a dwi charge obviously is not making the roads safer. We arrest 1.5 million people, but yet 35,00 are still killed. Why not just arrest everyone? It's just another big fat money grab by the state and job protection for cops, jails and lawyers.
I'm sure this will upset a bunch of youse, but then the truth usually does.
And let us not forget the egregious unconstitutional manner in which the .08 alcohol standard for an arrest was attached to highway funds same as the 21 drinking age. Mo Money. Mo Money.
I'm in no way condoning drunk
I'm in no way condoning drunk driving. It is stupid and dangerous. Bob asks where the balance is? To me, if someone is weaving back and forth while driving or doing something that makes it obvious, then yes they should be pulled over, breathalyzed and if intoxicated, arrested and a stiff fine and some public service assigned. But pulling people over just because they are out late, sobriety checks and things like making note of a particular vehicle that has been in a bar parking lot for a few hours and then pulling it over is not acceptable to me. The balance is in between.
Jason, I will not pay for an interlock device in my vehicle, that's like saying it's OK for the NSA to read your e-mails and listen to your phone calls, because you have nothing to hide. Not the point.
Are interlocks connected
Are interlocks connected wirelessly to data collection services? I was just thinking that the car won't start if you've been drinking and try to blow into it...
I don't want any additional surveillance either...
