Got stuck in sand.. For a while

If you talk to them, there is no question they will smell the booze on your breath. Duh.

But that's OK if you are just driving in the bar's parking lot, and not in the street.

 

Can I drive my tractor as I mow my field if I'm drunk?




JK.

 

Because anything you say can and will be used against you. Say nothing, and there's less evidence to arrest or convict. Google Never Talk To Cops for the YouTube video, created by an actual cop. Best advice on the internet.

 

There you have it people.
Any questions you have just ask Google or Youtube.

 

Sorry OP.

This is why TW can't have nice things.

 

Shit posters follow wherever you go.

 

Thread in a nutshell

 

Gentlemen please, a little decorum!

 

In Montana, you're expected to have a beer when doing such work. Oh, and also be armed.

'Cause motherfucking 'Murica!

And air down in snow, mud and sand - there, I'm still on topic.

 

In California, the laws that criminalize driving under the influence are not limited to highways or public streets. You can indeed be arrested for driving under the influence while on private property. However, the arresting officer is going to need to be able to articulate why he or she had a reasonable suspicion to stop you in the first place or else it is a violation of the 4th Amendment and all evidence obtained from the stop is inadmissible (fruit of the poisonous tree) at trial.

Whether or not you decide to speak to the police is a personal decision, but I would be weary of answering questions from a trained investigator without the assistance of counsel. The US Constitution gives us some very powerful rights. Why not use all of them?

Glad you got out of the sand op.

 

I was holding my tongue but finally someone said it right.
And the whole "firing on private property" comparison is retarded if you're within city limits.

 

Luckily I don't do stupid shit to warrant having to worry about talking to cops.

Oh by the way. I've been in law enforcement for almost 14 years. I'm not a street cop but I work with them every day. Your advice actually holds water if you've actually done something wrong. If you don't have anything to hide talking to the cops is probably a good idea. If you pull the old silent treatment they will most likely dig further or take up more of your time getting to the bottom of the issue.

Most cops give what they get. Granted there are those assholes out there who have a massive power boner.

 

tl;dr


who cares

 

Oh, OP, airing down in the sand helps a lot.

 

thanks for all the tips gents and possible ladies. Definitely got some knowledge and entertainment from this one lol. To add to the fire, since it was a gated private community I don't think the 5-0 can even enter the premises without a reason to. If nobody called the cops on me, I don't think there's any reason a cop could even be close enough to see what I was doing or in what condition I was in while doing so.

 

It has nothing do do with private property, but property open to the public.
Example: I am riding a dirt bike at the dunes which is open to the public, I am liable to a DUI even if it is not a roadway. Same as in the woods on private property owned by a logging company if the gate is open. Now close that gate, and give me permission to ride there it changes. Just like riding/ driving on my own personal land as long as I don't cross a public right of way. So, "open to the public" is what matters, at least in the state of Oregon.

 

Haha as it is, I'm kind of a nerd too, this ain't shit compared to a bunch of geeks arguing about video games. Haha! I've enjoyed reading most of it tbh, thread derailing is just as to be expected as the sun coming up.

 

Yeah 58 Siesta, but I bet the cops come and lock everybody up that's holding a beer though. And those weapons violations are hell aren't they. By way of staying on thread, down in Georgia we always air down in the snow also.

 

So OP...your wife got a cute available sister with similar assertive traits?

 

She's got a brother, but hey nowadays that sort of thing is just a scalpel away, you and him could flip for it..?
