poll:undercover stings and dui checkpoints

[chode_regulator]

how do yall feel about them
i mean it seems alot of times on cops they, the cops, offer poeople sex for money, and then arrest them. i mean how stupid is this? also, isnt there bigger better crimes to be pursuing than prostitution? im not saying its ok but seriously....and the same for drug stings and what not

also dui checkpoints. whats taht about? i always hear about them around my house, as i live in a tourist area and on the beach. but havent seen one yet. apparentley a copule people left my house sat and got stopped at one. luckily she was sober. but all the times ive driven drunk ive gotten home. i mean if im swerving and shit, then yeah, pull me over. but if i gte caught at a checkpoitn, how lame is that? especially considering how cops always manage to make up bullshit excuses as it is.

[chode_regulator]

yes 100%so far

[Melmart1]

I dunno, I kinda like the thought of drunk drivers being caught and taken off the streets. But that's just me.

[Kori Ellis]

Me too.

Just because people aren't swerving doesn't mean they aren't impaired. Their reflexes suck if they are drinking and they can easily get in accidents and kill people.

DUI checkpoints are good.

I don't really care about the prostitution thing but I voted that I agree with both :lol

[SpursWoman]

I really don't care much about the prostitution thing....if some desperate dude has to get some bad enough to pay for it, and take home one of those nasty things, then so be it.

But the DUI checkpoints? I dunno ... it's difficult to argue against it (for me, anyway) and not sound like you're defending driving drunk. It's a big inconvenience if you haven't been drinking...but how many will they catch, potentially saving a life/lives? I'm sure there will be a million and one reasons why it's an infringement on someone's rights or whatever, but I don't see it that way. People can't drive worth a shit sober, and I sure as hell don't want them around me driving drunk. :lol

[ObiwanGinobili]

I agree with the DUI checkpoint.. thats saving lives.

but I could give a shit about prostitution. thats a waste of tazpayer money.
I may not agree with prostitution - but thats my opinion, what other people do with thier bodies, time and money ain;t my buisness.
prostitution should be legal.
drunk drivers should be shot.

[MannyIsGod]

I absolutely disagree with both. The sting are a waste of time.

But the checkpoints remind me of all the stories you hear of russian cops asking you for your papers. Or any other facist country. I by no means support drunk driving, but whats next? Checkpoints to see if you have porn? A banned book?

Its the whole idea of check points. You should have to proove me guilty, I shoudlnt' have to proove my innocence.

[SpursWoman]

See? I knew I could count on Manny. :lol :lol

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The prostitution thing, I disagree with.

Got no problem with the DUI thing, maybe one day someone you care about or someone related to someone you care about will have their lives ended because of a drunk diver, and it'll change your perspective.

I went out with a girl in college whose older sister got killed a drunk driver, and it really fucked her up in the head. No one deserves to go through that.

[thispego]

good poll chode regulator
i disagree with both, especially prostitution stings
do these lady officers volunteer for this shit or something? pitiful, there's not enough crime going on so you go and create your own?

[chode_regulator]

exactly. i mean seriously, how bored are you if you have to create crime?



See? I knew I could count on Manny.
yeahb but i agree with him. i mean seriously, ive driven over the legal limit im sure plenty of times. and im not braggin, but jsut bc someone says the legal limit is too much for me doesnt make it so. plus they say even one drink affects you so what does it matter. but i see where eveyrone else is comong from too. and in no way am i condong/encouragin drunk driving. but i mean seirously, to just pull over everyone. thats gay. and what if they pull you over at a stop and find something else. then you get fucked for no reason.

my gf i currently date, her dad died in a dd accident and also dated a gf in hs whos best frined dide in a dd accident. but that doesnt mean you should pull over everyone. nor again, create crime. i mean ive been driving home plenty of times and seen people swerving and crossing lanes and drivinginto the grass and no cop to be seen. yet you could be driving perfect and be almost home and maybe had JJJJJJJUIUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTT enogh to go over "legal" and get fucked. thats kinda gay


edit:and ive been i n acouple dd accidents, didnt change anything for me really. people are going to do it regardless, its the same principle as border defense though. police do it to look good and get njumbers

[chode_regulator]

interesting that agree/disagree with both is dead even

[ShoogarBear]

You can take them home?

:bang :bang :bang

[Melmart1]

Ew. That revealed a little more about Shoogar's pick-up habits than I cared to know.

[chode_regulator]

oh yeah, about the whole prost thing

i mean most of these guys they showed were like 70 yrs old. who cares if some 70 yr old guy has to get a prost to get off. i'd rather the police go crack down on real crime.

[ShoogarBear]

BTW, just a reminder, there is no "right" to drive. You have to qualify and agree to certain restrictions. You don't want to comply, there's always the bus.

Prostitution laws are stupid though.

[ShoogarBear]

Ew. That revealed a little more about Shoogar's pick-up habits than I cared to know.
You just don't appreciate how cramped it gets in the back of an Acura.

True story: I shared a three-level townhouse in Boston with two other med students and one local townie guy, who worked as an electrician (and made good money) but was on disability due to a "back injury" (so he made good money and did nothing during the day).

Anyway, one night we're all sitting around watching a game in the living room and Craig walks in with this incredibly hideous skank. Well, they go to their room and about a half hour later she comes into the living room and proceeds to head straight for the bourbon and help herself. We were like WTF? but really she was so foul that we just wanted her out of the room rather than spend the time arguing with her. On her way out, she sort of hinted that she was ready to make a little more money but, sadly, she wasn't able to find any takers.

[Melmart1]

You must have been broke, Shoogar.

[Mijo]

I by no means support drunk driving, but whats next? Checkpoints to see if you have porn? A banned book? No, they'll just go into the bar and try to arrest you before you get to that checkpoint.

To be fair, before I met her I drove home a time or two after having had a liiiiiittle bit too much to drink. I usually kicked myself the next morning when I got up and realized what I did.

After seeing what her and her parents went through, and seeing the dumbfuck drunk (who survived the wreck with only a broken arm to show for it) having to go through apologizing to them after the trial, I'll never do it again.

[T Park]

good to see Manny supports drunk driving.

Seriously dude. I totally agree with the last part. My mom got in trouble and got handed a DUI over a year ago (and she wasn't even fucking drunk, she was upset because her boyfriend left her and she had a couple beers and left hours later) and it's totally crippled us. Drunk driving will never be stopped and I don't support driving drunk, but the check points is stupid. I think cops need to be less lazy fat fucks and pay more attention to the people on the road instead of waiting for a freebie.

As for the prostitution thing, it's bullshit.

if her BAC was enough to warrant a DUI, then either she had more than "a couple beers" or didn't wait a few hours after drinking to leave. but anyway, i don't mind the checkpoints, i don't drive around like that anymore. getting drunk and driving around is illegal, and if you get caught with other shit like chode said, that's still illegal too. i especially agree with setting up checkpoints outside of bars who serve way past someone's limit just to get extra cash out of them - those bars deserve to get their liquor licenses revoked and catching them letting people walk out and drive hammered is a great way to do it.

People DO occasionally get unfairly framed for DWI/DUI. If the cop thinks you are impaired and takes the trouble to drive you in there is a certain percentage of them that are gonna make sure the charge sticks no matter what. Those breathalizer results can definitely be jacked with.

[AlamoSpursFan]

A friend of mine who is Type 1 diabetic had a low blood sugar seizure while driving through Shavano Park. Took him a long time to get rid of the DWI charge he got because one of (snicker) Shavano Park's finest happened to see him swerving as he headed to a safe parking spot to take his insulin (which the officer denied him...luckily it wasn't a serious episode. Diabetics have died in police custody.)

[ChumpDumper]

Drunk drivers should have their cars taken away.

A few years back I was working outside Charlotte NC in a dry county and one of the locals told me to watch my ass because on the weekends the troopers ran checkpoints and as NC had one of the worst rates of DUI deaths, the state mandated that 1st offense meant you lost your license for a year, paid some ungodly fine, and the state impounded and sold your vehicle.

I wonder if they still do that?

[ChumpDumper]

Hopefully.

[Dre_7]

I work 3rd shift a a gym. A co-worker of mine was involved in a drunk driving accident. He was leaving a fast food place in the middle of the night. Some drunk driver passed out with his foot on the peddle, swerved all the way to the other side of the road. Over the curb, and smashed into the passenger side of his car. The side of the car was TOTALED. Alot of times when one of us goes for a late night food run, someone will go with them. Fortunately no one was riding with him that time, cuz if they were, they woulda been DOA. My co-worker had some minor injuries that lasted a few weeks (neck, back pain).

Point is, I have no problem with drunk drivers getting caught. I am all for check points.

i am for them assuming overall they would do more good than harm (wrongful tests, etc.) i would have had a different opinion 7 years ago when i did drive while impaired.

A friend of mine lost both his legs being hit head on by a diabetic woman trying to beat her attack home. Aren't diabetics supposed to check their blood sugar BEFORE they get in the car?

[Obstructed_View]

Drunk drivers should have their cars taken away.
At very least. I never understood taking away someone's license. If they are willing to risk driving drunk, aren't they willing to risk driving without a license?

[ChumpDumper]

Aren't diabetics supposed to check their blood sugar BEFORE they get in the car?Doesn't always work that way, but suffice it to say a diabetic should keep the means to take care of high or low blood sugar with them at all times.

Next time I pick up a prositutue, I'm gonna make sure I carry a fake badge, so just in case that the lady is a cop, I can pull out my badge when she pulls out hers to trick her and pretend to be undercover.
