I don't know what the laws are up there in Penn, but here in Texas, you commit an offense if you operate a motor vehicle in a "public place" while intoxicated. For an officer to arrest you for that and any offense, he has to have probable cause. If he didn't believe you showed signs of intoxication like having an odor of an unknown alcoholic beverage on your breath or about your person, red/glassy/bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, unsteady balance, uncoordinated movements, etc, then he must not have investigated you for signs of intoxication. He could also have checked you for illegal narcotics or other chemical intoxicants if he believed he should, but if he didn't, you must have been OK.

Depending on the agency and individuals in agencies, your vehicle may remain at the scene, turned over to someone else, or towed. Some agencies have a form you can sign where the vehicle is left on the side of the road after signing a release from liability form.

This is neither here nor there but BAC, at least here in Texas, stands for "Blood Alcohol Content" which is what officers get from a blood sample and "BrAC" stands for "Breath Alcohol Concentration" which is what you get from a breath test. BrAC, since it is only an indication of BAC, BAC is more desirable for prosecution since a certain level of BAC is prima facie evidence the person is intoxicated.

 

Dead people are just meat. If they were family, friends, etc, then it doesn't matter. Children are different, especially if you have children or you are close to children in your family or friend group. Injured people - you deal with them a relative short time and then first responders and EMS soon takes over. Then it is on to the next call. YOU CAN'T TAKE IT HOME WITH YOU OR YOU CAN'T DO THE JOB!!!

 

I've seen a lot of shit in 14 years as a volunteer FF/EMT even though we are small town and not very busy. We do some debriefing bullshit for "bad ones" but i usually feel like that is more detrimental when people that weren't involved try to insert their two cents. I hate needles and blood but you f-ing deal with it when you have to. Only one thing really had me twisted for a while, kid buried under a fallen tree. That one i had to take it to a professional to actually get some better peace of mind.

 

At our hall we normally discuss it over the dinner table and like stated before don't take it home. If their dead your not going to hurt them, so do what you can. I have been on both sides (Leo first then swapped to fire) and have noticed you have to be wired a certain way to do this kind of work.

 

Dr. Dre. "Let Me Ride". Love me some old school rap.

 

Toyota stopped making Tacomas in 2015

 

Honestly what lunatic would choose Tacoma over a Raptor. Its like saying I rather have a mustang over a corvette, kinda goes without saying

 

2004

 

I did

 

Correct answer

 

You skipped out on driving this?

We all make mistakes , ha

 

I carefully measured the curbs at my Home Depot and determined the Tacoma should handle them OK

 

I'm not quite like Batman with the Batmobile, but a friend of mine who details my truck for me would probably say I'm close.

My friend lives right next door to my boss and right around the corner from my work. There was a stain in my seat that just wouldn't come out, and my friend who details cars as a side business, said he could get it out in addition to giving my truck a full detail. I handed him the keys to my Tacoma for the first time in late August 2016. He got most of the detailing done, but it started raining before he finished. My friend texted me and asked if he could drive my truck to the local do-it-yourself car wash, which had 4 covered stalled. My friend is a responsible 30-year old with a valid driver's license, so I correctly assumed nothing would go wrong.

So, my friend brings the Tacoma back to Puck and proceeds to tell me that while he was finishing up my truck, a cute (not like a 9 or a 10, but cute) girl in her late 20s approached him and complimented him on what she thought was his Tacoma (She specifically said "Tacoma" and not just "truck"). My buddy, who is currently seeing someone, then proceeded to say it was his friend's truck and he was just detailing it. She then said she'd like to meet his friend (me).

Needless to say, I always go out of my way to use that car wash, and I've drawn more than a few second glances from pretty girls when I'm there. There's a sushi diner, a diner, and an Asian-owned nail salon/spa among other places in that shopping center so there is no shortage of attractive women (not just Asian) walking around at any given time.

This is a true story... With older women (31-45+), they hear me blasting a classic rock song or 80s power ballad they loved when they were teenagers on my stereo and come over to chat. With younger women (18-30), they love the truck itself and compliment me on the rims or the overall good condition of the truck. I've had guys compliment me on my truck too, but in that case it's just a guy whose impressed that someone from my generation (a millennial) actually shows pride in ownership. With girls, I think it's a combination of that and they actually like me and see the truck as an excuse to talk to me...
