[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 601853, member: 60724"] Caymen, you and many others talk about the "illegal" actions of the police. I think the word you are looking for is "unwarranted". There is a difference. For example; police stopping a person without a reason is "unwarranted"; whether or not it is "illegal" is a whole different matter. If it truly were "illegal" than police would be fined or imprisoned for such things, right (they aren't are they?). Oh, and in Ohio I can go 135MPH to and from Church and the police are not supposed to be able to give me a ticket? All I can say to that if true is: WTF! And, Caymen, you say: Because enforcing that one stupid law, which is a law, avoids the potential of the other stupid law getting broken. And, maybe because waiting for the drunk to stager out of the bar, and into the car and then pull away means you have someone behind the wheel that can back up or drive into traffic BEFORE the police can react, or because you have someone behind the wheel that might try to evade the cops, etc. Avoid all that, shoot the fish (lushes) when still in the barrel. I have no problem with this...but I haven't been fallen down drunk in a bar in about 20 years...and then found it wasn't that much fun the one or two times I did it. TJR [/QUOTE]
