Same thing happens when a cop is beating the s%#t out of someone while screaming stop resisting.
To: Theoria
Here is a better one. You are a passenger in a car when the driver gets pulled over. You are over 21, and you have been out drinking and your driver is the designated sober driver. the cop ask you to step out of the car, when you do, he arrest you for public intoxication. As long as you are in the car, no violation exist, but, the moment you step out, you are in public.

You live on Grosse Ile?
I lived on Meridian (twice), Vogt, and East River.
Used to be a nice, easy going community. But really started to go down hill governmentally about the time they tried to Eminent Domain the private Toll Bridge.
Guess it hasn’t gotten any better!

"How did you change "her" into "him"? It's done by a procedure known as a Reverse Jenner.

Boy, did I get this thread WAY off track with a simple mistake!
To: T-Bone Texan
Excellent advice, FRiend. I will definitely keep that technique you suggested in mind.
In the past, I typically pulled far off shoulder, lowered all windows, engaged flashers, and turned-off vehicle ignition.
Contemporary jackbooted, steroid-pumping police do not seem to even acknowledge this courtesy, concern for their safety, plus my willingness to be friendly.

It was her Dad who was giving her good advise.
Young folks have always been cop targets btw and those with heavy badges routinely have their way with many young folks simply because they don’t know the law, or what to say or not say and have little knowledge of their basic rights.

It is the cop's opinion, which has no value legally, and is used to terrorize citizens.
I'm not a lawyer, but from my limited experience in the courtroom, a judge will treat a cop's opinion as if it were fact. I went to traffic court some years ago, and argued that the cop couldn't have measured my speed actually with radar (around a curve, trees in the way, both moving etc. admittedly it was a long shot) and the judge simply smiled at the cop and said that the cops are trained to estimate speed visually, so he couldn't have been wrong. BAM next case. I didn't expect to win, but I was shocked that the ruling was, essentially, "cops are never wrong".
I am also aware of the "don't talk to the police" mantra that defense lawyers swear by, as a cop on the witness stand is given greater weight than us regular citizens.

The courts have already ruled i favor or warrantless searches.
We have DUI check points regularly in Pennsylvania. If you turn off to avoid the wait because you are on your way to work or on your way home from work and tired, too bad, you get arrested for “avoiding the checkpoint” Don’t drink at all. Doesn’t matter. You still get checked.

So what your telling us is all a cop has to do is lie.
“of course your honor; I smelled alcohol or I noticed he was unsteady on his feet”.
So without a measureable test or video tape I am still guilty.

No, that is cause to do the test.

Largely a result of the idiocy of treating 18-20 year olds as though they were minors regarding alcohol, but adults regarding everything else.BINGO!!! I live in a silly state that considers 17 year olds to be adult.

I lived on Ferry Road until they started taxing my pension. I now live in Tennessee. The person responsible for the bridge fiasco was Kurt Kajobilac who was a lawyer. He also sued the contractor for the updated sewer system which cost GI big time. There is a good reason it’s called Fantasy Island.

That’s right. And the young, blonde mayor who gave up the City Building to the Post Office. For pennies on the dollar.
They were quite the crew.
(They also put my FBO and flying instructor out of business at the airport so they could move in.)
