Drunk test...

About a half hour ago I was pulled over by 2 motorcycle cops after taking a right turn when I saw a lot of traffic. Apparently this was a sobriety checkpoint. I told them I drank 2 glasses of wine.

Yeah... they were totally messing with me too.

Seriously. It was lame.

As we drove away I said "well, now I really do need a drink."

I'd recommend calling their precinct and complaining to the highest ranking officer you can get on the horn. They abused their authority by treating you disrespectfully. That's a disgrace.

I can relate. Not really the same situation exactly, but, not long ago I hit some debris from a totalled car scattered by an (ironically drunk) driver.

I got a flat and ended up getting breathalized, tested w/ those skills tests (and at that point, I was testy). I'd had a couple of drinks myself, and was not over the legal limit. Close, but no dice.

"If we'd have tested you sooner I bet you would've failed the test." (My response: "Yeah, well, I really only have a couple of drinks." Them: "We hear that all the time." Me: "Yeah, well, I don't know what else to tell you.")

That sucks. I am glad you didn't get a DUI!

Was that the sobriety checkpoint on Clayton road? I dodged that one by pulling into Hollywood Video and getting movies.

That's the one! They caught only one drunk driver, but 21 unlicensed drivers:
