Tim deals with roadblock thugs again

I wonder how you'll feel if you or one of your loved ones was seriously hurt/killed by a drunk driver?

You're just causing useless drama dude. Answer the question and be done with it. This shit is getting way old....

He is asserting his civil.rights.

Most don't have the balls to do that.

I for one am glad some do.
 
oops....

A Nevada Highway Patrol trooper suffered minor injuries Saturday when an alleged drunk driver ran a red light and crashed into the trooper’s vehicle in Douglas County.

Problem is that people against DUI checkpoints can't figure how this incident has anything to do with DUI checkpoints.

Still haven't heard a good reason of why cops can't hang out around bar parking lots at 2am.....super easy to spot drunk drivers. They'll catch a bunch of them and it'll be so much faster and cheaper and more efficient.
 
and then there are people like me who don't really like checkpoints either but think that it's asinine for civilians to actively seek them out just to give the cops a hard time for just doing what they have been tasked to do. it took two people and extended period to deal with that jack ass when all it called for was one and about ten seconds.
 
All it took was for the cop to say "Have a nice evening, sir" and send him on his way.

Who wasted the resources here?

Don't be silly. If they do that to every car than the checkpoints will have to stop.
No one actually cares about getting drunks off the road. The only thing that matters is keeping the checkpoints going.
 
It gives a hint of how pissed some people are about the checkpoints. Wanna get drunks off the road? I'll tell you how. Worried it's illegal? Well so are checkpoints but they said its allowed for the good of the people. Worried all the bars will shut down? My precious life is more important than any amount of money.
 
No, it doesn't do a good job of conveying how pissed some people are at the checkpoints... the videos posted, along with people discussing this without sarcasm, do.

You have a much higher tolerance for bullshit than I do. When someone tells me checkpoints are a great way to get drunks, even though they don't believe it, I will call them on it. I don't like getting lied to. When they simply ignore a question about sitting outside bars or any other reasonable and practical way to get drunks I'll step it up on a notch because all of these threads and arguments turn into useless lawyer talk. After page two everyone forgets that the main issue is getting drunks. By page hella we're debating if 2stroke is a crazy asshole and if cops are liars. Very few people care about drunk drivers.

Just like the video. No one cares if the driver is drunk. They just want him to follow the rules. The guy cop and hot chick cop knew right away he wasn't drunk and decided to stop trying to get him to follow useless rules after a while.
Guy cop didn't even know what to do. You could tell he's getting nervous. Driver isn't drunk but he's fucking with me. Now what?!?!?! Hot cop said fuck it after trying for a bit. It was established he wasn't drunk long before they let him go.

Come to SJ. I know of at least 2 bars where LEO's do such. One of which I frequent every Thursday. And I am DAMN happy to see the LEO's "Trolling" the parking lot at 10:30pm - 2am.

Half the posters in this thread (including myself) already did this. The only difference is, we didn't sound like a 13 year old doing it... :rolleyes :laughing
