DUI Advice.

[ultrasuperduckman]

Right, though the judge said I have to have a lawyer present.

 

[The Guard]

Oh. Well then choose an attractive one.

 

[Hound55]

Thank you for being truthful.

I've never been anything but on here.

Now be 'mature' enough to not spew life lessons for things that you haven't experienced.

Is it my fault that you come across as someone who looks like they need advice..?

I will admit that maybe my usage of the word d-bag was a little harsh in describing the cop. I later mentioned of him being a robot and I think that fits the situation better. He was a robot. He could have been personable and friendly, he wasn't. But, we didn't give him a reason to be mean to us. So, he was more of a robot than a d-bag

Cops, like anybody else, can choose to be friendly, offer advice, and even educate you.

Is it wrong to feel a sudden urge to throw acid in the lawyer's face at court earlier?

That can end badly, Roman... particularly if he has a lucky two-headed coin.



* THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, BUT PROBABLY A GOOD GENERAL RULE ANYWAY.

 

[The Guard]

Dunno.

 

[chaseter]

So you not only don't read what other people write, you also don't read what you write..?

Go back over the whole thread and see how it escalates from one cop being a d-bad, to you claiming "most", to back-pedaling to your most recent stance of "a few" just a few posts back...

I said that some cops are d-bags, some aren't. The ones I have experienced, two, were. So, that extended to plural and then extended to lawyers? What he wrote implied all cops and lawyers. He said I went on a tyrade against cops and lawyers.

This happened 4 years ago. I don't need any advice. Everything was gone and done with long ago.

Life is not Mr Rogers' Neighbourhood.

But wouldn't it be nice? Would you be my neighbor? I always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you. So lets makes the most of this beautiful day. Since we're together, might as well say; would you be my, could you my, won't you be my neighbor? Won't you please, won't you please, please won't you be my neighbor, neighbor and friend?

 

[The Guard]

Heh. Do you really want to argue semantics at this point, about who made this a big deal?

When I am clearly just making a humorous statement?

Fair enough.

You essentially hijacked someone else's DUI thread to talk about your own experience. That was the start of you making this a big deal.

You then, once called on your idiocy, went on and on and on in a futile attempt to justify your actions, instead of just dropping it. Continuing to make it into a big deal.

And then you wrote that...stirring account of your adventures.

You extended it to most, look back over the thread if you don't believe me.

Considering the fact that you seem to be diverting blame for the instance in a number of different directions rather than having come to terms with it being your own fault, I don't think its a bad thing to re-hash over lessons "learned".

Where I am currently, if you're busted for a DUI on your first time, they make you pay some 5k + dollars to have a breathalizer interlock installed on your car.

However, I live in a state where more people are busted for DUI when found under their car for the 22nd time or so (the sad part is, he's probably not in the top ten), and there's at least five communities that won't sell mouthwash on Sundays. =/

Down here we generally just settle for drinking people under the table...

I said in my experiences. I never once labeled all cops as d-bags. I said some are, some aren't. But, in my experiences, most are.

I am not blaming anyone. I lied, the end. The cop could have done things differently and so could I. You harping on what I did when I already know what I did is redundant. Not all doctors are selfless servants and givers of medical attention, not all lawyers only take on cases to bring justice and free the innocent, not all cops are pleasant and friendly public servants. What are the cops like in Australia? From your pov, they seem like they are all super awesome.

Is that a no to being my neighbor?

That's generally what leads to the problems here. lol That, or trying to drink YOURSELF under the table.

People will drink mouthwash to get drunk? WTF

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Yeah.

Sometimes, people here will even resort to brake fluid.

We'll put it this way. If there's a hint of some chemical inebriation, or it has the word "alcohol" written on there, and it can be sold in two packs on sale, that's all the push they need.

 

[chaseter]

Brake fluid

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Yeah, brake fluid.

Or at least that's what I hear, and see laying around bums from time to time around here.

I've never staked one out. Though, I -have- seen a couple gulping down target brand mouthwash. They were (suprise) homeless though. The average, employed and home owning Joe drinks stuff that doesn't come with a poison control center warning label on it.

 

[chaseter]

We have homeless people that hang out around the 'strip', it's where you can only buy alcohol in the city/county. They stand out there with signs and they think we don't know they are going to walk 100 feet and buy booze???

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Some don't hide it. They'll panhandle outside of liquor stores. =/

 

[Hound55]

Brake fluid

Mate of mine from when he was working out in Maralinga (more 'the sticks' than any of you could imagine) knew a lot of the Aboriginal population were drinking white spirits/turpentine.

We'd get people coming past the restaurant I used to work at from time to time asking for bread, I always used to tell them (the head chef and that) to give them some, even if it was just stale old stuff that we wouldn't use.

They filter the turps/white spirits through the bread and the yeast (or something to that effect, my mate told me at the time and I've largely forgotten since) filters out the poisons in the turps/white spirits.

The alternative to giving them the bread was basically they'd do it anyway and go blind/die as a result...

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Oh yeah, I forgot about paint thinner. XD

Sterno, too.

Hardly worth it, mouthwash has a very low alcohol %...

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

I don't really think they're too concerned with, "I want high levels," as much as, "I need alcohol in me, at any rate I can get it."

Though, you're right, you can get cheap alcohol. But when you -can't- buy alcohol, you reach for whatever gives that buzz. Hence, since alcohol isn't sold on Sundays in some areas, neither is mouthrinse, since they'll just go for that instead.

 

[Hound55]

Where I am currently, if you're busted for a DUI on your first time, they make you pay some 5k + dollars to have a breathalizer interlock installed on your car.

The problem with this is that they get other people to blow into the breathalizer... but it is always funny seeing someone stall their car when they're over the limit and the car won't respond... as long as you're not behind it (sometimes even if you are behind it...)

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

XD They fixed that. Cameras are now put into them.
