Posted: 3/19/2006 9:58:22 AM | Legal or not makes no difference, this is anti-American fascist crap.
Omage to civil disobediance demands we get drunk as soon as possible (but not drive!) and perhaps even urinate in public for emphasis! Okay, sort of kidding but not really.

Posted: 3/19/2006 12:33:15 PM | | WHATEVER HAPPANED TO USING JUST PLAIN COMMON SENSE? everything and i mean everything seems to be regulated by public officials with some controlling agenda. hell you cant even be a parent anymore without the government telling how to discipline your child or where they can sit in the car. or if they miss over three days of school, you better have a damn good explanation and a written reason why. we have this joke of a sheriff who not only corrals minor law breakers in tents similar to nazi concentration camps but parades them around town in pink underwear, feeds them crap that his dogs wouldnt eat and reads to them at night. he has commercials on tv where he wags his finger at you and says not to break the law or he has room for you. im not an any kind of trouble and i dont like crime, -criminals need to be in jail. but people are human and make mistakes. it seems like if we throw everybody in jail for spitting on the sidewalk or having a few too many beers. arent we just essencially sending them to jail pre-shcool where they can learn to be a better criminal and eventually graduate to hard time. jails have become big business for many states. with the federal government giving them so much money per person they lock up -its quite a cash crop. they need that extra revenue to feed their ballooning agendas. i was watching the news about a neighboring city having a $200 million dollar shortfall. the next story was in the news was the city was installing speed radar cameras on the freeway and nab dangerous speeders to save lives. -somehow i dont think the life saving was on the top reason of this decision - with each photo ticket costing around $225+. our government will keep ifringing on our rights until we stop giving in to their childish ways to control us. | |

Posted: 3/19/2006 1:45:07 PM | I live in Texas and have seen the "sweeps" made by the TABC. (Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission) I live in a "dry county" which means that package liqour stores are not allowed to operate inside the city limits, so we have what is known as "The Strip". It's a line of beer, wine and liquor stores approximately 1 mile outside the city limits. I have been randomly pulled over, ID checked and ran thru the computer, my truck searched and then released by these jerk-off "booze cops". When I asked them why they singled me out, they kinda laughed and said they were checking for open containers and that it was a random stop,, nothing personal. I've also seen them go into bars and arrest "intoxicated" patrons with no sobriety test given,,,just that,, "they appeared intoxicated". It's a bunch of crap to say the least.
Like our friend Late says,,"follow the money" | |

Great investigating. I didn't even know the law. But I suppose it is "legal" to do what they're doing.
The reason Fascism happens is because people don't think it does, or at least to them.
Dahlai-
I was VERY careful not to offend anyone. Please don't overreact.
I've just met plenty of officers, and they have all been douchebags. Haha, I suppose my town could be unique, but I don't know. But if your family goes into the business because they want to help people who cannot protect themselves....then  that's a beautiful thing. I wish them all the best of luck, as they must be good people. Just encourage them to practice good judgement and not overstep bounderies. And arresting people for getting drunk when the owner of the building does not mind, then that's taking your authority too far, thus you become a self-righteous douchebag, or just a very ignorant person with good intentions. Either way, no good.
And Maj literally has the best idea. Show them how unreasonable they are. GET PISS ASS DRUNK. lol....then they'd see that this entire thing was pointless, as they'd waste so much time on it, that other more violent law breakers could run the town. | |

Posted: 3/19/2006 5:43:37 PM | try this one on for size. My fiance got arrested for In my opinion freedom of speech. Cost me $213 to get him out of jail. We were meeting some people in Dennys and they had the police there to "observe" the meeting. because they thought my man was violent> he was opinionated not vilent. abny how he recoginzed the cops. The people we were talking to knew he had larengitis and could not speak very loudly. and asked him to speek up 3 times. so when he spoke up so they cold hear him they said he was getting too loud. They mentioned the cops were there. He said " I know they were here when we got here. and If you think I am worried about Mr Queen and MRS king your are sadly mistaken. After he implied that the cops were gay/lesbian he was arrested for disturbing the peace.
SO I FIGURE THE COPS CAN ARREST WHOM EVER THEY PLEASE FOR WHATEVER REASON THEY WANT TO. because no noe single person alone can do anything.
Or how about drunk and disorderly. for telling a man to quit looking at me SEXUAlly.The man has a little athority so my man got arrested. The catch here was he had been up for about 20 hours(he had worked 12 hors and our appointment was at 9 am. so that is why he had been up so long.) He had dentures in and they were coming loose; so his speech was slurred and his eyes were a little blood shot. oh and he had mabe 2 beers before we left the house. while he was being booked the guards were acting lilke he was not there and commented that " I can tell hes drunk he cant sven talk without slurring his speech." THIS PART IS FUNNY!!! My man took his dentures out of his mouth and set them on the guard's desk and said ""my dentures are loose that is why my speech is slurred."" and put his dentures back in. The guards had nothing sele to say! | |

Posted: 3/20/2006 7:46:45 AM | Sadan....got your email funny story. 
DOC.....well you gotta show more lovin for the boys in blue. But, yes, we finally found a topic we agree on. Back to the thread topic:
1. This is supposedly being done to cut down on drunk driving. I don't think anyone agrees that people should be arrested for something they haven't done yet.
2. A bar serves liquor. Liquor gets people drunk. As long as that person is not being beligerent, there's not a problem with them and hence no reason to arrest them. Merely being drunk should not be a criminal offense.

Posted: 3/20/2006 9:44:04 PM | I was in my car in line for the drive-up window to get some hash browns (such as they are) at Jack-in-the-Box one early morning at 1:30. While I was waiting, I noted a patrol car pull up in the parking lot of a bar right across the hedges from where I was waiting. He pulled up behind a car that had its lights on and the motor running. He put his flashing lights on and before he got out of the car, the driver backed up right into the side of his patrol car. LOL Needless to say, the guy was invited out of the car to take a field sobriety test.
While the cop was administering that, another bar patron came out of the bar and noted that the patrol car (still with flashing lights on) was blocking in his vehicle. He staggered up to the cop and asked him to move the car. LOL By this time I had my window down and was listening to everything. The cop told him he'd be right with him. The officer got the first guy into handcuffs and into the back of his car, then he pulled forward a little bit and got out of his vehicle again. The other drunken guy got into his car, started it and began to pull out. The cop was at his driver's window by that time and invited him out as well. What idiots!
Man, was I glad I didn't have those two to contend with on the road when I was finished waiting in line forever at the drive-up window. The entertainment made the time go by faster.

Posted: 3/27/2006 6:31:27 AM | This is all a subtle and concerted effort by the religious right to impose its views on our society as a whole, and their ignorance is but a prescription for failure . . . just as they are attempting to impose a form of government in Iraq, which also falls within that formula for failure, they will fail in their attempts to force society in general into their mold.
When you are raising a child, you cannot use force to motivate them to live or be a certain way, and society is no different . . . . you have to lead by example, and convince through sound reasoning.
When you use force, just as in the laws of physics, you create an opposing force . . . so if you want to strengthen the opposition, continue doing what you are doing . . .
If someone gets a notion to take this to a civil court, the lawyers will have a picnic with it and the municiple government will be paying out the nose to those who were arrested; who knows, this could go to the supreme court, but if it did, it certainly would not go in favor of the municipality, given that the constitutional law is withheld . . . | |

Posted: 3/28/2006 7:22:08 AM | This horrible invasion will come to a crashing halt soon. These actions have already cost the cities in Texas millions of dollars in lost revenue from lost tourism, and conventions. Once one of these cases is brought before a court, there will be a resounding affect of the public screaming for their rights back.
When you pull a man from a bar in a hotel as he gets up to hop on an elevator to his room, a man that has caused no harm or made a public nuisance of himself, then I have a large problem with that. | |

Posted: 3/28/2006 7:32:01 AM | So how does the state of Texas define " public intoxication " ... can you be convicted if you have a BAC of over 0.08 and are "in a public place"?...or do you have to be falling-down drunk?
To me this has a look and feel of bounty hunting.
However over-serving IS a well known problem. | |

Posted: 3/28/2006 12:25:32 PM | | I agree, az. The problem is that some of these people have a designated driver, or the case I suggested the man had a room at the hotel and merely had to make it to the elevator. There is no logic involved, only presumption. A lot of these cases will not play well in the courts. | |

Posted: 3/28/2006 12:48:12 PM | Reminds me of that Ron White joke:
"Mr. White, I'm charging you with being 'Drunk In Public.'"
"Hey...Hey...Hey...Hey...I was drunk in a bar. They threw me into 'Public.' I don't want to be drunk in public. I want to be drunk in a bar. Which is perfectly legal -- arrest them."

Posted: 3/28/2006 1:35:13 PM | | A better solution would be to wait until they place keys in the ignition. Only problem I see with that is a police officer would get credit if they were indeed drunk, and these new 'agents' would be left out of the loop. By the way, the 100 new agents were paid for by a government grant, and you can be assured they have to 'pay for themselves'. | |
