George Floyd Protest/Riots

[hog88]

There is zero excuse for being in a driver’s seat intoxicated or attempting to drive intoxicated, nothing good can come from it.

I agree but that is not the point.

What if you live in your car? Are you not allowed to drink at home?

 

[hog88]

How about mid drive thru?

What about it?

 

[hog88]

I think it is too but in this case the guy passed out in the drive thru line with the car running

Public intoxication at worst.

Lol

You dont think it should be criminal to be influenced to the point of passing out in the middle of operating heavy machinery in the vicinity of civilians?

I'll say it again, public intoxication at worst.

There shouldn't be a law on the books covering drunk driving, only drunk crashing with stiff penalties. If someone is pulled over for driving recklessly, intoxicated or not it should be a reckless driving charge.

Absurd: NYC Contact Tracers Not Permitted to Ask Sick Patients if They Attended a George Floyd Protest

Many people in NYC are pointing out the hypocrisy of state & local leadership in continuing a draconian lock down while barely flinching at scores of protesters not wearing masks. Do as I say ..... not as I do logic ....

You've seen "the world is better off without George Floyd," though, which is an odd reaction to his death

I’m sure there’s a woman in Texas saying “good riddance”.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Sleeping and passed out intoxicated from alcohol or OD from drugs are not the same thing. And police liability wise have to take someone that is such to the hospital for medical care they can’t “take them home”

You posted that ANY TIME someone is in a vehicle with access to keys, and they have a BAC, it's DUI. That's a ******** law. If they had been driving, prove it. Otherwise, you are promoting laws written to make it an automatic conviction because they can't actually prove the part they want to make illegal DRIVING while intoxicated.

You're describing the Minority Report thought crime part that people took issue with. I'll tell you what "good" shouldn't come from it. A DUI charge.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Probably right but you cannot wait for someone to attempt to start driving before you do something about it

And there's the Minority Report. How many other types of crime will that apply to? You can't wait for someone to murder before legally arresting them for murder."

No. People fall asleep at the wheel then they are sober, too. At least dude was in the drive thru getting something to eat so he would sober up. I think a lot of us - including myself - have driven drunk in a Wendy's drive thru lane late at night.

But if you try to walk they arrest you too. Granted a PI is easy to beat, especially when the judge laughs at the cop in court

This is about the dumbest thing I’ve ever read on here.

I am honored that you think my post is dumb, since you are the writer-in-residence of dumb posts.

No ****. Kystals is the go to for late night drunk drive through.

Lol. Says the “guy” who thinks the drunk driver stopping by the drive thru is doing the responsible thing because you assume they’re trying to “sober up”. Lol. What about the drunk driver just trying to make it home without stopping??

I thought the guy was killed for being drunk in the drive through?

Yep and I’m ok with changing that law but currently if I pass out drunk in the drive thru at Wendy’s then I know I will be going to jail.

According to Twitter, he was hunted down and assassinated merely for being black.

He was a great guy. He only had 19 beers and a couple puffs off a blunts. Then he was was just trying to sober up and get some food on his belly while knocking back that last beer so he’d be the worlds greatest dad at his little girl’s birthday party.

Even if they change the law, you'd go to jail since Wendy's has closed circuit video of you driving up and passing out. It would be an easy investigation for the police to prove that you actually drove while intoxicated. But the point is...They should be responsible for proving the crime to get the conviction, not lobbying for ******** laws, written in a such ways that convictions are guaranteed because they can't/won't prove the crime.

This shouldn't be too complicated for people to grasp. Even the dimmest lightbulb should flicker when the connections are made on this one.

Getting arrested is not the cops proving anything..... you are suspected of drunk driver..... you would still have to go to court and proven guilty.

If the cops had hit someone with their car in that situation the apologists would have been enraged. What, you can't take a mob of people breaking all the windows in your car? Maybe you're not cut out to be a cop.
