I know not to drink and drive.. I can always remember people at the bar calling me a pussy because I would only drink 2 beers and leave 3 hours later. I don't want to pay for that shit or have it on my record..  People calling you a pussy for not fucking with your future is stupid. I have heard shit like this as long as I can remember, and good on for you for not letting that shit get to you. People who want to gamble (possibly) the rest of their life for a couple beers has their priorities out of order. |

Somehow I have managed to go my entire life without drinking and driving. I have done plenty of drinking but I never wanted to take the chance that I would kill somebody or ruin my life over some stupid night where I just HAD to go pay 5 times+ the normal cost of alcohol (the bar) but couldn't spare a few bucks on a cab.
Then again I am not the "get drunk and fight because herp derp" type either. |

I have had loved ones hurt by drunk driving assholes. Thankfully none killed. OTOH I held the hand of a mother while she was dying in front of her children because her husband was driving drunk and ran a stop sign causing an accident that caused her and her kids all to be ejected into the road. She was run over. 
I will never forget the look in her eyes as she slipped away. Or the kids faces whom we had all lined up sitting on the side of the road just the other side of my car. Thankfully her drunk husband who was trying to steal my car while I was holding his dying wifes hand got knocked the fuck out by a bystander. Bastard. He is now serving 15 years in the pen. Long story short. They were coming home from church in a small pickup truck, kids in the cab and in the back of the truck. The wife was arguing with the husband, He reached across the cab to hit her and ran the stop sign. The results were scattered all over the road. As I have said before, FUCK DRUNK DRIVERS. |

never agree to any sobriety tests!! my lawyer advised me to respectfully refuse any sobriety tests (field, breathalyzer).. let them take you in.. by the time you get processed and all that stuff and then get tested by court order (or whatever) your BAC will be lower and hopefully below the legal limit, which will help you in the long run.. My friend actually had this happen and work for him.. by the time he got tested he sat in the jail and got sober enough to test under the legal limit saving him a DWI charge and a shit load of money and trouble... and i heard if they want to take a blood sample to say that you are deathly afraid of needles and they wont be able to do it on you (but im not sure on that one and dont know the credibility)... but the best and logical way to avoid a DWI is not to drink and drive in the first place obviously.. nobody wants to be another statistic and god forbid cause an accident bc of your actions..

No respect for drunk drivers. Drunks will always say that they only had a few beers. They really don't know how much they drank. Most will never learn, the only way some will learn is to sit in the county jail / prison to scare the shit out of them.
I know of one that was caught by Pasadena PD that blew over a .15. Not supposed to drive due to conditions of bond, but still does anyway. Still does burn outs with his truck near the local police substation and still drinks and drives leaving the parking lot of Rodeo Night Club off of I-45 in Houston His brother is even dumber that him. He is a habitual drunk that ended up pointing a handgun at a Houston Police Officer in the parking lot of Rodeo Night Club this year. He was lucky the cops did not send him to the funeral home. |

Cops are corrupt.
Quote HistoryQuoted:
The reason the cop pulled him over is because that cop said he crossed the double lines...In shitty commie NY they now have rumble strips on average roads now. My SF said he didn't and sure as hell would of known if he did... The cop was just sitting on the road bared as shit looking for a collar probably.. My SF is a dumb ass because it was even on the news saying that cops were out in full force for DWI's because of Halloween being on a weekday ad all the parties being on this weekend. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Thats why you never take the field sobriety test of breathalizer. Dont give em ammo against you. An OWI arrest may be obtained based on any combination of the evidence of your driving, your performance on field sobriety tests, and other observations the officer and other witnesses may have made regarding your actions and behavior. Sure, don't take the SFST or PBT... but you can't hide your slurred speech, slow or clumsy movements, swaying, dropping objects, forgetting thoughts in mid-sentence, glossy & red eyes, the odor of an alcoholic beverage on breath, etc. Fuck it, while you're at it refuse the evidentiary chemical test also. I'm sure that'll help you also. Any good officer will be able to articulate why you were arrested even after you refused to do the SFST or PBT. Sure, he/she may not have enough this time but you'll try it again. And next time you may not be so lucky. |

In my state, if you refuse quite honestly I don't care. You simply get charged with Refusal of a Chemical Test on top of the DUI. The only time we are going to jump the hoops for a blood draw when there is a refusal is if there is a fatality. We will get a warrant, usually over the phone within a half-hour or so, and fear of needles or not, a sample will be taken. |

You are right, the cop was probably just sitting there waiting bored as shit waiting for a collar as you put it...that is one way to look at it. Or the other way is that your step-father was DRUNK DRIVING and got caught by a cop that was doing his job. I mean lets not acknowledge the fact that he was actually drunk and driving, lets blame the cop. Fucking ridiculous. Fuck around lets not hold him accountable for his actions or anything, lets blame the cop. What is more likely? That your SF crossed a rumble strip and didn't notice because he is under the influence?! Or that the cop made the entire incident up because he felt like fucking over someone he's never even met, hell he probably force fed your SF the alcohol too...fucking cop, good thing the dog wasn't at the bar too, could have turned into a shootout.

OP,
0.13 isn't anywhere near the limit, he downed a lot more than 3-4 servings of beer. Maybe if he was drinking something like Arrogant Bastard or a barley wine, his story might make sense, but he didn't get that drunk on 3-4 12oz pours of Miller Lite. Time to see if your state will let him have a small motorcycle (since they don't require plates or a driver's license so all the DUIs drive them) Quote HistoryQuoted:

In some states, refusing the field test(s) is an immediate suspension of your license for one year, and they'll still haul you in for the blood test so they can convict you of DUI. In MD, you'd lose your license for 6 months on first offense, but the judge will give you a work-and-grocery-store exemption, if you refuse the test, he's not going to give you the exemption. Kharn |

I wish every state had a law stripping firearm rights after a DUI. If you are dumb enough to drive drunk you don't have the mental capacity to be trusted with a firearm.
And for those of you that make it a hobby to find ways out of being charged with a DUI when you know you were, you are no better than the ones who are caught and charged. If you refuse a test it should be an automatic admission of guilt. Scum of the earth. Right behind the payday loan store owners according to some of you. |

On the other hand, he knew what he was doing ...the cop said he is rite at the limit and even lower at the station later. But on the ticket it says he blew a .13 (NY limit is (.08)..And now it will probably cost a shit load of money...Fuck H Vs M? |

I never drink and drive but the current DWI limit of .08 is kind of silly. .10-.12 is more reasonable. The DWI focus in law enforcement today is, in my opinion misguided. you don't quite understand outcomes do you |

Don't expect sympathy here.
GD knows that everyone that drinks alcohol is committing attempted manslaughter and being within 3 city blocks of a packaged cigarette will give everyone in the vicinity cancer. This is how the propaganda worked. 25 years of negative badgering and you believe it. This is how we will eventually lose firearms, caffeine, and sugar coated cereal. |

In SD you WILL give blood if arrested for DUI. If not voluntarily, a telephonic warrant WILL be issued riki-tik. Quote HistoryQuoted:

"Refusal of the test or tests is a separate crime for which you may be charged" Straight off the Post Arrest Chemical Test Advisement for my state. 1 year license suspension? I'll take that over a DUI conviction. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 3-4 beers shouldn't put the average guy at .13 unless he downed them real quick. Some lingering questions about how much he actually drank and body size |
