imstock2 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Some kids.... People are just doing there jobs. They spent more time acting like a 15yold than if they simply answered the officers questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted November 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Yeah, they are indeed doing their jobs. Kudos to them. These kids knew their rights. Kudos to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imstock2 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Great... Now every high school kid is going to watch those YouTube video and go to the local DUI checkpoint and do this... Take turns and post videos about it, holding up traffic just to "show" they know their rights. The new cool thing to do now days.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuicedH22 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Interesting? Annoying is more like it. While I agree with the constitutional question-ability of DUI checkpoints, there is a time and a place to raise the issue and voice your concern. These people are intentionally trolling the officers trying to get a rise out of them. Harassing them while doing their job does nothing but get hits on YouTube. I would say the officers handled the situation very well. It is also worth noting while I disagree with the constitutionalism, I appreciate the reasoning behind doing it, and them getting drunks off the road. Having been through a few, it's a minor inconvenience. A simple question and what should be an easy reply, and you're on your way. And this includes when I answered "yes, I had a beer and two 7n7s before and with my dinner." A couple questions later on that one, and I was on my way. It's not like they can't tell who should and shouldn't be driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuicedH22 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Now the new practice of going undercover in bars and arresting people before they have a chance or choice of even getting behind the wheel is a bit more questionable...

nurkvinny Posted November 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 I too have been through several checkpoints and answered all questions. I have lost friends to drunk driving. I believe the people working them believe they are doing "good". It is also always good for everyone to know their rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Never been through a checkpoint, but anybody dumb enough to go through a checkpoint drunk deserves to get arrested. As for these guys taking the law literally to give the cops a hard time I don't see the point, it's not like I think highly of any of the police's tactics when it comes to trolling for crimes.

3.1cutlass Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Why not just say no and move on to save the hassle? You would be inconveniencing yourself more by saying nothing and wasting every ones time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be inconveniencing yourself more by saying nothing and wasting every ones time. because then you're on record providing information and that information WILL be used against you. remember, ANYTIME you are stopped by the police they are NOT there to do anything that will help or benefit you. They are there to find guilt, period. I've only ever been through one once and I had nothing to drink so I'm fine saying no. However, even if I had one drink 6hrs prior I would refuse to answer. That way nothing can be used. Nothing. They have to make their decision based on trying to get you to talk so they can evaluate you. Simply do what this guy did, so no to any questions and ignore the repeated questions. Demand to know if you are free to go as you would like to leave NOW. Make that NOW clear. They have to make a determination at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUI check points are a plus and I don't think there is enough.. It's always the drunk guy or the cocky teen giving the cops shit.. I guess everyone will grow up eventually but guys like vid shown just takes a little more time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess everyone will grow up eventually but guys like vid shown just takes a little more time Do you just assume everyone is a "high school kid" just because they stand up to authority? I'll tell you something, my grandparents would consider you a kid and they both have clearly spoken out against how law enforcement treats people today AND DUI checkpoints. I have no issue with law enforcement, I wouldn't ever do this, but I do have something against people that don't respect people that are using their rights. You can honestly fuck off to Cuba if you like bending over to the man so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 It's always the drunk guy or the cocky teen giving the cops shit.. Or......................... just exercising their ammendment rights and not allowing themselves to be forced into answering questions that they dont have to answer. Your comment reminds me of how people twist religious beliefs into rules. See, that's the problem with do-gooders... YOU PEOPLE want to say "there's black and white when it coems to right an wrong.... Oh, and my opinion is also in that mix... and its right" because it's what you think is "the right thing to do". Neither of those drivers did anything illegal and neither were intoxicated by the looks of things (but I could be wrong). Its like telling someone to wear a jacket or YOU WILL catch a cold... when in-fact, cold weather is not a direct cause for becoming sick. It simply might affect your immunity levels. All this "the cops are just doing their jobs" bullshit can stop now... thanks. We don't need cops playing boss/god/parents here kids. You know damn right that when you slight soemone human emotions turn to retaliation..... Hence why there's a sterotype (may or may not be my opinion) about how cops are ego-tripping losers who didn't get invited to any parties in high school....

I guess removing dangerous drivers from the road is a pretty big inconvenience. so what you are saying is theat both of those drivers had something to hide AND they WERE cosnidered "dangerous drivers"..... because they chose to remain silent? SRSLY? Again... see my last post ^^^^ Let me guess, strippers all must come from broken households... and need to go to church and repent for all their sins......................................... rolleyes....
