Douchehat at DUI checkpoint.

There's plenty of other officers available to respond to those calls, it's not like the entire police force is operating one checkpoint.

 

What he was saying was, cops shouldn't have to be out running check points because as a society we should know better than to be driving drunk. Or atleast that is the way I read it.

 

Yes, society should know better, but people still do it anyways.

 

You may think so, but just like the military, many PD's are having to down size due to the economies of the states. I've read some PD's are down by 50%....

 

I was typing while all of you were having your little post orgy

 

Reading this thread has made me want to start drinking beer again.

 

I am not quite sure if you are arguing that


a.) checkpoints are stupid

or

b.) it's stupid that they have to have checkpoints, but they do

 

Look here shitlips.....

 

Tomorrow? Why not shoot for tonight? You only need 25.

 

Unless I'm mistaken, both.

 

That's 1,400 drunk people off the roads, potentially saving a lot of people's lives.

 

Yeah you're right their job is to protect and serve. I find it beyond hilarious someone is actually arguing this ridiculous shit. I actually completely agree with you but for 100% different reasons. The cops SHOULD be going out and catching the lunatics commiting real crimes, such as raping, killing, stealing, etc. But it's not our society's fault that's not happening. Police aren't throwing resources into that because that's not how they get paid, not because they're so preoccupied babysitting us shitty ass citizens. Not a day goes by I don't see at least 1 cop parked behind a building with his lights off waiting to snag someone for going 6 over. Way to protect and serve, real tax dollars at work.

EDIT : DISCLAIMER YES I KNOW NOT ALL COPS ARE THE DEVIL AND NOT ALL DO THIS JUST MAKING A POINT!

 

S-H-I-T-L-I-P-S

because you are being an arguementative little twit with my post that was stating what another memeber said and got misconstrued and wasn't what I was saying.... i think

 

Yes! he pulled the Canadian card

 

Well, it's 1,400 who blew over the state-mandated BAC level and were charged with DUI.

What I'm trying to say is that there is no legal distinction between someone who drinks too much and gets pulled over for swerving all over the road and someone who drives perfectly fine with no error or endangerment after 2 beers and gets routed through a checkpoint- but who cares about that stupid shit.
