[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 601835, member: 60724"] Caymen says: Sure Caymen, I will agree that it is unwarranted for police to pull someone over for no other reason than they saw them leave a bar. However it is not "illegal" for a police officer to sit outside a bar, and then pull a driver over if they then get behind the wheel and commit a driving offense. Examples of such witnessed driving offenses might be the driver pulling away from the bar forgetting to use a turning signal, or going to the intersection at the end of the road and slow-rolling through a stop sign, etc. Regardless of where the police were before, IF they witness a driving offense then they can and should pull the driver over, wouldn't you agree? If you agree with that, then you agree that police should enforce the law when they see it broken. And if you agree with all that, then why shouldn't the same police or authorities for that matter enforce the "public intoxication" law when they see someone drunk in a bar, in public? TJR [/QUOTE]
