If you drive drunk or go 90 in a 45, your chances of getting in an accident and therefore of hurting/killing people are dramatically higher. If you have outstanding dui's and speeding tickets, maybe that hints that you should not be driving, regardless of whether you actually obey the rules when around police.
There are plenty of people charged with DUI, for simply sitting in their car listening to the music or watching a dvd on their dashboard screen, or radio-partying in a lot, all thanks to the key-in-the-ignition rule. They're placed in the same category as the people swerving all over the road, and by this you imply unjust suggestions that they too are undeserving of driving priveledges.

The simplest DUIs remain on ur record for 10 years minimum, before you can have the court expunge those records (thats if its misdemeanor). This says that those people who paid their $750 Driver Responsibility fees, $1000 court fines, and withdrew their driving priveledges for said duration, are still subject to scrutiny, years after their mishap for leaving the car on at the campgrounds while having a good night out. This implies that they've might not have learned their lesson, years or so down the road, even if their record was clean before that incident or after, which doesnt leave much room for influence on the hand that maybe they DID learn their lesson. Its unfair.

Most police, despite the occasional slip-ups and enforcement of laws outside of their control for which members of this forum seem to crucify them, are trying to protect citizens from different forms of harm. When this comes to driving, I take it very seriously - if you drive when you're drunk and don't care, you will ALWAYS be the bigger asshole than the cop that arrests you, even if you were driving within the traffic norms. Again, most people simply don't recognize the sheer quantity of destruction one can inflict with any motor vehicle (perhaps motorcycles aside) - for every 100 trips you make drunk and get home just safely, perhaps there's just that 1 where another driver, a cyclist, or a pedestrian is somewhere they shouldn't be and you're unable to react as fast as you should. When you sign up for a driver's license, you sign up to be a bitch to the legal system; it's for your own safety and others', whether or not you like it.
Most police are trying to go for their quota, and maintain a relative balance in that part of the community they're in. Alot of them tend to get an impression of a driver, and pull them over on a technicality to get personal with them (trying to catch any vibes whatsoever). I agree that you'll look like a complete asshole drunk behind the wheel, but pullovers aren't all about that. I know a person who while driving within traffic norms was pulled over, because it appeared as if they were smoking a joint (which was a handrolled tobacco cigarette), but the technical reason for the pull over was the sound of the muffler............the muffler...... cops will make up anything to constitute some kind of probable cause...

I believe people have a fair understanding of what a 2-3ton metal vehicle at high velocity can do. From a 2,000lb vehicle to a 5gram metal bullet, to grains of powder.. or volumes of liquid for that matter. When it comes down to destruction and damage, its measure is only given by the person dealing it.. Intent is the key. Intent is what they look for. Intent is often misjudged. While no man has the right to judge, (as according to many religious books) but the judge himself or jury (as according to legal standards), the officer will simply put u on the processing line with a biased presentation of your incident or situation.
sheist Reviewed by sheist on . This Is Evil and Must Be Stopped Immediately There's a new police concept car out called the E7 from Carbon Motors. It has all the civil liberty smashing features taxpayers don't want or can afford and it's coming soon. Carbon Motors has been started by former executives from Ford and I believe Bear Sterns (2 very successful companies, one had to be bought out to prevent bankrupcy, the other is losing about a billion dollars a month) and hope to put this useless money trap into action in the next few years by offering fleet discounts to Rating: 5
