This is one of many reasons civilian dash cams are becoming very, very popular in the US. I have one in all of my vehicles and a helmet cam on my motorcycle. The car ones are not expensive.

Not a jury trial? I was on a jury for traffic and as it was cop's word vs citizen we found not guilty. The guy was a jerk and unlikeable but whatever they didn’t meet the burden of proof.

>How did you change "her" into "him"?

All the cool kids are doing it nowadays

From time to time, a judge or other “member of the bar” or person associated with the courts around here gets stopped for DUI.

They NEVER take a breathalyzer!

[zeugma]

She won’t win this one

Worse she was probably drinking under aged and just doesn’t want the consequences

Of course. I forgot. Cops can do no wrong, and the citizen is always guilty. How silly of us to think otherwise.

[Nifster]

Oh stop This under aged spoiled brat got caught.

In Mesquite, TX I was pulled over for speeding in heavy traffic, on the freeway. I pulled over to the shoulder rather than the center, as I was trained, for safety.

The policeman did not like that at all, as if I was eluding him, and said “That’s a good way to get yourself shot” which I thought was excessive. I had my baby in the car at the time. Would he have shot at my vehicle? He implied yes.

[T-Bone Texan]

In TX, it is explicitly allowed to avoid a sobriety checkpoint, and police cannot use that as cause to detain a person.

I’ve seen masses of vehicles performing u-turns ahead of me only top find a checkpoint up ahead.

"Since this kid was a passenger his consent cannot be “implied” from anything."

How did you change "her" into "him"?

Ever since chicks with dicks can go into the woman's bathroom.

Eight years of Obama and now nobody knows what bathroom to use any more.

[RegulatorCountry]

Here they have BAT-mobiles, which are mobile courtrooms, at certain sobriety checks. Trial and conviction on the spot. U-turn to avoid the checkpoint gets you pulled over and arrested.

Eight years of Obama and now nobody knows what bathroom to use any more.

I do.

But I reserve the right to piss on an Obama supporter wherever they may be.

Or a blogger.

[T-Bone Texan]

Years ago I was leaving a wedding near NASA and ran into a checkpoint.

Even as hammered as I was I had the common sense to enter the parking lot of the mall next to me and execute a U-turn.

So did many others. Cops could do nothing.
