I pulled up to a sobriety checkpoint on a 4th of July evening a few years ago and I was STONE COLD SOBER. I rolled down the window and said with a hearty grin, "Yes officer, can I help you".

I guess he didn't like the smile on my face because he told me to "pull it over to the side, shut it off, and get out" and proceeded to put me through a full 'Field Sobriety Test'. He was very threatening the whole time.

When we were done with the 'walk-the-line-touch-the-nose-stand-on-one-foot-recite-the-alphabet'-stuff he said "Go" and walked away.

If I'm ever in that situation, I guarantee that I will intentionally foul up the entire field sobriety test and enjoy the look of disappointment on the Officer's face when I blow a 0.0 on the PBT.

I think police have a hard job, and many enemies. I also think there are more than a few who get their jollies lording over us common folk (same thing applies to many in govt). I still get nervous when I see cops, and I am as law abiding as anyone.
