I thought smelt was a small fish, smelled would be the correct spelling JEEZE how the hell did these journalists get out of college????
Why did you answer the door?
A doorbell means take off your safety
She who smelt it, dealt it.
Not a big drinker but is it illegal to be drunk in your home?
I can tell no such thing. I only see two officers.
Yeah, the cops were wrong. Who walks up yo a house and does a breathalyzer test?
waiting for a Yankees game to start last October
They should have arrested for that in NH.
did she offer them a sandwich from one of the bags on the floor?
In the UK, “smelled” and “smelt” are both acceptable.
Not everyone lives in a “Beautiful Homes” magazine-type house located in the newest subdivision. The woman was not harming anyone while in her home and apparently did not have anything to do with the accident outside. She was breaking no laws. The woman had the RIGHT to be secure in her home, and she had the RIGHT to drink beverages while enjoying her sports-viewing evening. If she wanted to pour the beer over the ice cream and enjoy the strange cocktail, she had the RIGHT to do that as well.
The cops did not have the RIGHT to arrest the woman. Anything else is unnecessary details to the story.
“According to the report, Mone is alleged to have said she would rather ‘get sued for taking action than not taking action’.”
Action regarding what? If she thought the woman’s home situation was a health hazard, she could have called Family Services the following day and requested they check to see if the homeowner needed county or city service’s assistance.
What are you talking about?
it all depends on whether it’s spelled or spelt correctly though
I think maybe YOU should take a breath-alyzer test.
Yes, I learned/learnt that some time ago.
“I think maybe YOU should take a breath-alyzer test.”
Are you a cop ?
Smelt is correct. That’s what I learnt in school.
Cops don’t care if “they” get sued because “they” never have to pay. Most times they get qualified immunity and only the municipality that employs them remain defendants and if they are not granted qualified immunity the municipality will provide legal counsel and settle with the taxpayers money.
Johnson made her take an alcohol test and found that her breath alcohol content was just over .08 percent, the legal limit for driving.
She talked too freely, said she had been drinking at a bar and then came home, presumably driving, and not walking or getting a ride. Easy defense, she had a drink at home. Easier defense, don't volunteer.
The word "officious" goes nicely with "officer," doesn't it?
“I thought smelt was a small fish, smelled would be the correct spelling JEEZE how the hell did these journalists get out of college????”
It’s British, dude. And you are confusing verbs and nouns. The verb smelt refers to extracting metal using heat.
