Totally irrelevant point. When the cops are called THRE TIMES in one night - your azz is going to jail.
I think a Public Intoxication Charge would be more appropriate. But since the guy was being a drunk jerk - the cops tagged him with a DWI.
Sucks for him.
Rea was arrested while in the upper-portion of the driveway which is encompassed in the backyard/side-yard of the home.
Two courts have dismissed the drunken driving charge. The appeals court said Rea was in the upper portion of his driveway, an area that's generally not accessible to the public.
Charge him with disturbing the peace or failing to follow and officer's reasoned instruction.
Going for the drink driving charge is not reasoned.
It could affect him in a number of adverse ways, and he wasn't doing that.
He doesn't get high marks for not complying, but it does seem he tried to change the situation with the car to avoid disturbing his neighbors too.
BTW: You are right about the private property remark.
It was irrelevant.
If you’re disturbing the peace they can approach you and get you to stop it.
Sorry to have goofed up on that part.
You seem to lean in my direction on the rest, in part.
Take care.
Good thing you’re not my neighbor. Spoilsports are a dime a dozen. PRIVATE PROPERTY IS TOTALLY RELEVANT! WHY is he being sent to court a THIRD TIME? He has been acquitted twice!
How can it be public intoxication if he’s in his house or on private property? He was only on his driveway or in his yard.
He was falsely charged and should get some kind of compensation.
