i went to a trail ride dance saturday night,the police had the gate and were present at the party.
5 or 6 officers 3 or 4 cars an suv's
so its alittle after midnite, we pack our stuff up and head to the gate, im drunk as * brown, i know it, it was my night to do so.
i had it planned, my non drinking friend was with me, i drove in he's driving home as planned.
we pass the police at the gate speaking to him for awhile, he knows im drunk, i tell him so.he sees us get in the truck,he knows we have a sober driver, mile down the road we get pulled over, the 67 elcaimno with flames on the front is not hard to spot.
so the police walks up to the driver an ask where we are going, home says the DD, shines light in our eyes doesnt ask for licinse or ins or any thing, dosent tell why we were pulled over just says watch your driving son and walks away.
so whats the deal with that? what happened to probable cause?
this was a sargent, it seems to me with all the show of force at the party they could've had eveyone blow an labled us there.
you know you cant drive , ok your good. not side of the road where i feel we were put in danger for someone looking at the blue lights and crash into us or the officer,
why didnt the officer at the gate raido ahead an tell it alls good with such an such?
where did the protect an serve go? all we have ( seem to have) is a money making venture.
thanks, didnt mean to be so long winded, yall be safe.

Maybe he was just making sure the designated driver and the drunk passenger did not change places.
that he did do, give him that
He wanted to see ifin you had any pretty wimmen to ogle.
they were in the car behind us, he cut them off to get between us, might be the way he rolls
the groom was with me, my wife was with the bride,tring to keep them seprated, like rabbits i tell you young love is so great to see.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
How many times you seen a young man go to party, strike out and end up in a fight, same thing slightly different twist.
I really don't think he did it out of any motive other than some sort of personal satisfaction. Best guess is he was frustrated and angry.
Know in this area you pull out of a few Bars Parking lots after Midnight and you will be pulled over.

and what makes you think that would happen ? yes i know and understand it could but what designated driver in their right mind would do so ?
Were the ones at the Party on Duty or just hired for the party.

still no probal cause

Maybe your "im drunk as * brown" missed the reason for the stop , and the LEO decided not to pursue any other action.
spelling correction
Just saying, and I'm not an LEO.
"Probal (sic) cause" is not needed for a stop. Probable cause is needed for an arrest.
OOOOHHHH now i see said the blind man.
"Probal (sic) cause" is not needed for a stop. Probable cause is needed for an arrest.
when did that go out the door ? years gone by they sure needed a reason to pull you over

They are supposed to have a reason to pull you over in theory. The fact is they can dream up half a dozen excuses after the fact.
I got pulled over once, they stopped me and I asked why they pulled me over. They said I'd taken the last corner too fast. I'd been on the same street for five miles.
It was pretty funny, they emptied the ash tray on the floor, dug all the old McDonalds rappers out form under the seats and told me to open the trunk. They looked in the trunk and asked what are all the radios doing in there? I kept waiting for the light of recognition, these guys were actually pretty stupid. I was delivering an unmarked detectives car from the tow yard to the Police garage. You'd think they would recognize a clone of there own car, just in a different color. Nope, these guys were on a mission to bust somebody for something.[:D]
Cops have a way of twisting the story to fit the situation.

That was my thought.

I can't think of any scenario where they would. Can you?

Changing drivers sure wouldn't be smart, but maybe the LEO's have seen that sort of thing before.

Then it must be cause you're ugly. [;)][}:)][:D]
i never read that nor agreed to it , thats bull _______ my tax dollars help pay for those roads and the LEO's that work there , they are public road ways to be use by the public
I guess Adolf Hitler would be a proud man to see what our laws and SOME of the LEO's that enforce them have become [:(][xx(]
papers , papers please [:(!]
What did he get for his trouble? A wrecked car, night in jail, several seriously injured friends, and a whole lot of legal trouble that lasted for a while!
Maybe, just maybe, the "long nose of the law" will be otherwise occupied and won't stop a drunk driver from killing someone you care about. I hope not, but if God forbid, a family member of yours falls victim to a drunk driver, you will be screaming, "Where were the police and why didn't they stop him?"
