Kareâ™¥Bear

busted...
don't drive and drink...do you want to kill someone or yourself?????

spludder

you do exactly what the police orifices ask/tell you to do

Don't do anything they ask. Go to jail because you're going there anyway. The police are gathering evidence against you from the moment they decide to pull you over. Starting with video of you swerving or whatever. If you do a breath or urine or blood test then you just handed them your guilty plea. If they can't get this evidence then it's your word against theirs. Worst case you loose your license for a year for refusing to comply. Otherwise you'll loose your license and get fined and have to take classes anyway. Good luck.

You need to thanks GOD that you did not hurt anybody. Go to jail pay lot of money and look like a fool. I hope this cost you lots and hurts so much you never will drink and drive again. Just to let you know if you or some one els did hurt or kill anybody i relay care for i would say beg the judge for a Long jail sentence so you would be safe.

Opps i read the question wrong i thought you
asked what to do when a drunken police officer arrest you so i gave you some tips

It is your right to do a citizens arrest for real it is true. Especially if he was drunk. Here is some proof good luck

In the most crime ridden spot in the country, our nation's capitol, District of Columbia Law 23- 582(b) reads as follows:

(b) A private person may arrest another -

(1) who he has probable cause to believe is committing in his presence -

(A) a felony, or

(B) an offense enumerated in section 23-581 (a)(2); or

(2) in aid of a law enforcement officer or special policeman, or other person authorized by law to make an arrest.

(c) Any person making an arrest pursuant to this section shall deliver the person arrested to a law enforcement officer without unreasonable delay. (July 29, 1970, 84 Stat. 630, Pub. L. 91-358, Title II, Â§ 210(a); 1973 Ed., Â§ 23-582; Apr. 30, 1988, D.C. Law 7-104, Â§ 7(e), 35 DCR 147.)

In Tennessee, it has been held that a private citizen has the right to arrest when a felony has been committed and he has reasonable cause to believe that the person arrested committed it. Reasonable grounds will justify the arrest, whether the facts turn out to be sufficient or not. (See Wilson v. State, 79 Tenn. 310 (1833).

Contrast this to Massachusetts law, which while permitting a private person to arrest for a felony, permits those acquitted of the felony charge to sue the arresting person for false arrest or false imprisonment. (See Commonwealth v. Harris, 11 Mass. App. 165 (1981))

Kentucky law holds that a person witnessing a felony must take affirmative steps to prevent it, if possible. (See Gill v. Commonwealth, 235 KY 351 (1930.)

Indeed, Kentucky citizens are permitted to kill fleeing felons while making a citizen's arrest (Kentucky Criminal Code Â§ 37; S 43, Â§44.)

Utah law permits citizen's arrest, but explicitly prohibits deadly force. (See Chapter 76-2-403.)

Making citizen's arrest maliciously or without reasonable basis in belief could lead to civil or criminal penalties. It would obviously be a violation of a suspect's civil rights to use excessive force, to torture, to hold in unsafe or cruel conditions or to invent a reason to arrest for the ulterior motive of settling a private score.

Civil lawsuits against department stores, police departments, and even cult deprogrammers for false imprisonment are legend. Anybody who makes a citizens arrest should not use more force than is necessary, should not delay in turning the suspect over to the proper authorities, and should never mete out any punishment ... unless willing to face the consequences.

As the ability of the powers that be to hold society together and preserve law and order diminishes, citizen's arrests will undoubtedly be more common as a way to help communities cope with the wrongdoers in out midst.

I was told by a state trooper that the best thing to do is keep a pint of something under you seat. When you're pulled over, throw the keys out the window, slam all you can handle. I guess then they cant prove that you drank b4 that. Or you could just not drive.

JustinFordJones

stop right in the middle of the road, jump out of the car and ask them whats wrong.
they will tell you to get back in the car and pull it to the side of the road, therefore, they made you drive drunk. with a good lawyer, you'll be fine.. but they'll be watching you like a hawk after that.

Go to Jail.............

T C

assume the position and offer up your wrists w/o even being asked to

bluff mike

admit nothing, deny everything, demand proof.

terri e

anymore its too easy to have them smell it on you. so cut your losses and take the test

glowe126

Stop. Answer all questions and give them all of your information. Do not submit to a breathylyzer and do not perform a sobriety test. If they hassle you, say that you are calling your friend to come and drive for you. If they continue to hassle you, call your attorney, and roll up the window in the guy's face. If you do get taken to jail, be quiet and don't say anything except you need to speak to an attorney before you go. When you get to jail, do not agree to be filmed or submit blood. Do not agree to any medical treatment (unless you are injured.) If a guard threatens or injures you, remember their badge number and their name. If you are taken into a room to be videotaped, say you object.

the best thing to do is not drink and drive. if you have an alcohol problem or think you do, check out alcoholics anonymous. most likely if you are convicted, you will have to attend at least one meeting with the group anyways.

Yes they can smell it on you,but you can still refuse the breathalizer. This means losing your liscense for 1 year for failure to comply. If you do take the test and fail you lose it for a year anyway and have to pay fines and your insurance goes way up. Refuse the test and save some money in the long run. Plus with a dui on your record you have many driving restrictions for jobs and such.

South Park covered this in the episode " Bloody Mary ". ( Yes, that one!! )

gimpalomg

It's no big thing. The police will provide you with a designated driver who will take you anywhere you want to go as long as it's to JAIL.

dwjohnsonkonduz

Ask them if we could trade a doughnut for a get out of jail card

Mekayla

tim s

I don't know where you live, but this is what we do here in South Texas, we tell the officer who we know in the judicial system and we are cleared of all charges.
