Mind sharing a couple of your encounters. I'm curious

I maintain that quotas were the worst thing that ever happened to police forces. It made it so finding fault took precedent over actually protecting and serving. I can't believe you were getting pulled over several times a month, thought, that's just ****** up.

Still though, they should have some sort of probable cause other than "They're teens in the area" before pulling you over.

Good on you, man. Keeping your cool is the best way to handle pretty much every situation.

Pretty much, man. Pretty much.

How the **** can you get arrested for public intoxication and get more tan a slap on the wrist? How uptight is I'm assuming your nationality here America?! In Denmark you can walk down the street chugging an entire bottle of *insert alcohol here* and no can do **** . Not that people generally drink in the streets

I'm American. Public intoxication is a misdemeanor, so as long as you have an otherwise clean record, and you're an asshole to the cop, you're not going to do jail time. Just fines, and probation. And AA in this case, since alcohol was involved.

The way it was read to us, staggering was enough to have you field tested, since they were worried about drunk people getting hit by cars. Too drunk to drive = too drunk to be on the sidewalk near cars. sorry for the delay, I was camping this weekend.

Well, in his profile it does say he is from the USA, so unless he's lying, I'd say your assumption is correct. Also, daaamn. What are you supposed to do if you get drunk at a bar? Stay there the night until you're sober? Totally agree with you

DJstar is right, you're suppose to either have someone stay sober to drive you, or take a taxi. Except that taxi's rape you for fare, and being the sober one is no fun. It's a lot of ******** .

Like it says in his story, you're supposed to call a taxi. or have a designated driver on you. but i always found that public intoxication ******* stupid. because A) you can't go drinking by yourself. B)The guy drinking with you shall be void of fun since he can't drink. and C) If you don't have a car and you meet a really ****** cop, having a sober friend around will still not mean **** as those who are buzzed can still get hit with Intoxication. it's all ******* stupid.

then again America has always been retarded when it comes to drugs and what not.

Not OP but i might as well.


I got stopped by 2 cops (here police are always in at least pairs, never alone) in a nearby village where i've been stopped 2 times before in the last 2 weeks and all three times they asked me if i would agree to be tested for drugs. First two times i agreed because why not, i don't take anything illegal. Third time it was honestly just pissing me off and i was trying to be somewhere with my buddy in the car so i declined.

They would ask me why of course and i told them i was tested on this very road twice in the last two weeks and i'm annoyed that they would always test me for drugs just because of my age/appearance (Not sure how it is elsehere, but here testing for anything but alcohol isn't exactly standard procedure unless there are very clear signs of drug use).

Anyway he keept asking though i was giving him a very clear and acceptable answer, but he kept asking about 10 times so i was getting pissed of course and i moved my hands up to gesture while explaining for the 11th time, then he grabbed my arm, twisted it behind my back and pressed me against my car and asked if i wanted a warning or a fine for attempted assault. Lucikly even while pissed i was smart enough to not argue at that point and they let me go with a "warning".

Unforturnately i had no video proof or anything so i could only report it as complaint instead of actually sueing him.

But all of my other run-ins with the police have been either normal or very entertaining. Also i'm too lazy to spellcheck all of this so deal with it

like i said, i was trying to be somewhere and those tests take at least 10 minutes. They're completely voluntary.

i spent the first 3 years of high school walking and riding a bike to school (it was a 3 mile trip back and forth) after my junior year i worked during the summer and bought the cheapest working car i could find which was a rice burner (does it make me a ricer even though i had no other choice?) which stuggled to reach 90mph but had a terribly loud muffler and the cop must have though i was speeding because of it, i bought a sticker that said i "know... i know... license and registration..." when the cop reached my door i already had my permit and registration which made him laugh, he left me off with a warning

apparently if you make a cop laugh youll have a better time

I speak from experience. If you have a sense of humor about the whole incident, you're much more likely to get off with a warning.

that's why i always keep my get out of jail card with me

"Gee Bill! How come your mom lets you have two get out of jail free cards?"

that's why i always keep my get out of jail card with me

My dad was a cop growing up. He always taught me, just don't be a dick.

Every time I get pulled over, I just ask the guy how he's doing. Give him my info and chill. People forget that they are just doing their job. For every bad cop there are 300 good cops. Just need to treat them like human beings.

Or maybe Maryland should stop being a hivemind of assholes.

Your dad was completely right. Give him a handshake for me and tell him thanks for his service.

Sir, are your boots in need of a good licking? I'd love to volunteer. What's that, some **** on your heel? Bring it here, I'll lick it all off.

Dude... why say **** like that?

I think you just quoted Gabriel Iglesias "if you can make a cop laugh your good"
