There's a shock. You usually demonstrate such great judgement here on the boards.

I know it isnt you, its a friend
 
6 but not for alcohol, just cough syrup, they can give you a ticket for that too

Be careful he'll bomb you

Oh wait, he can't


:lmao:
 
I have high tolerance.
Only one time I thought (after driving) that my level might have been close.
I will never put my or anyone else's life in danger by doing dui.
 
Nope. I never really drank much to begin with as a minor. I was always allowed to drink whenever I was home no matter how young I was, so I never felt that need to rebel, or get smashed since I always had access to alcohol.

It's got nothing to do with tolerance, your BAC will be the same as a lightweight even if you can't feel it. That could bite you in the ass if you've legally had too much and get pulled for something stupid like a broken tail light.

That's exactly what I am saying.
I don't drink and drive.
I don't want disciplinary action taken against me either which will sure happen with a dui.
Only that one time, although I was feeling almost no effect from alcohol, but afterwards I thought my level might have been close.
Just one time.
 
Nope. I never get behind the wheel intoxicated; not even if I only had a single beer. Rubbed off on me from my dad, I suppose.
 
Phaded said:
is america the only country where dui is enforced..

I think every country has laws on it. As fucked up as I've seen people leave bars while I worked at one, there better be laws. Cops have to enforce them too as sue happy as we've become as a society. If a person were to blow the legal limit and the cop let them go because they "seemed" ok and then get into an accident, all parties involved would sue the city, county, state, cop, etc. No one takes responsibility for thier actions anymore. Kind of sad really.

what to do when you get pulled over depends on what state you live in. take PA, for example. cop pulls you over, smells alcohol, you refuse to take breathalyzer or do a sobriety test, it's an auto DUI. penalties are stiffer for people that refuse than those that actually do the test.

i know someone's gonna get in this thread and say "that's fucking bullshit, it shouldn't be an automatic DUI if you refuse." well, think about this - if you're sober, why would you refuse the test? also, why should YOU get to go in front of the judge and say, "but your honor, even though i can't prove it, i only had 1 beer, i was sober, that's why i refused the test, so i should get to walk on the charges."

also, when you sign for your license in my state, you are informed that if you refuse a sobriety test, you will be automatically convicted of a DUI. driving is a privelidge, not a right. honestly, i think it should be the law in every state that if you refuse to submit, you get an automatic DUI with the stiffest fines and longest license suspension allowed by law.


I got 1 DUI almost 6 years ago. I knew i was drunk, i took the field sobriety test, failed the breathalyzer. Since my state has an ARD program for first time offenders (Accelerated Rehabilitation D-something) and i had a clean record, i was accepted into the program. I declined to do the community service because i was living out of state at the time, so i had a 4 month license suspension (as opposed to 2 months, length of suspension based on BAC). I spent 1 year on supervised probation, paid about $1200 in fines, then paid another $500 to take drug and alcohol classes. the DUI charge was suspended pending my completion of probation and the classes. to me that meant that once my license suspension was over, my insurance rates were not affected. after the 1 year probation ended, the DUI charge disappeared forever.

If i would have refused the sobriety test and the breathalyzer, I would NOT have been eligible for the ARD program.

Since i knew my state laws regarding DUIs, i was able to keep a DUI off of my record without spending $20K in lawyers fees. I do not feel that ANYONE should be able to beat a DUI charge. If you are pulled over and over the legal limit, your ass should have to face the music. Period.
 
if cops wanted to get their quota all they have to do is sit outside a club and handout dui's..
 
^^ true. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I killed someone when all I had to do was spend $20 on a cab. Just one of those things that is so avoidable.

i'm pretty sure you dont get an automatic dui in florida.. everyone i know who's gotten a dui and blew said they shouldn't have.. they say dont blow get a lawyer..

hey, in some states all you gotta do is start the car and they can nail you. I think CA is that way.
 
Phaded said:

In Utah that's entrapment. They can be in the general area of the clubs, but can't be sitting there watching. Starting the car if you're fucked up will get you a DUI here, it will in Delaware as well.
 
Phaded said:

it should be though. like i said, if you're sober, why would you refuse to blow?

guy i knew got pulled over with a .16 or .18 BAC. cop smelled alcohol, had him do a feild sobriety test. he passed with flying colors, cop said "ok, you're not drunk, have a nice night." the guy began arguing with the cop, tell him he WAS drunk and demanded a breathalyzer to prove it.

sure enough, he got nailed for a DUI once he blew. sounds kinda stupid, but he said at the time he knew he needed help. his drinking was out of control. A full bottle of Kaluha during the day in his coffee and an entire case of beer at night was normal for him.

he did inpatient alcohol rehab and maintained his sobriety for over 6 years when i had last spoken to him.

B/C this is America.
I think its crazy to get convicted of a DUI just for not blowing or giving blood. I dont see how that would stand in the Supreme Court, no way.
Its one thing to have the same or stiffer penalties for refusing a test but to convict someone for DUI on that alone, I mean not just write a ticket, they can write as many as they want doesnt mean jack. But to be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt b/c "think about if youre sober, why would you refuse the test?" is not the way the law works in the US, I dont believe it, wont stand on appeals

but that's like saying if you have enough money to spend, you are above the law. why should someone be above the law because their bank account is bigger than someone elses? if you're over the legal limit, you broke the law, and you should face the penalties like everyone else.

unless of course you're OJ and can say "but the glove doesn't fit."

bro cash rules all if you have money you can get off anything.. even murder..
 
In the State of Washington if youre drunk and are in a car, doesnt even have to be started you can be guilty of Physical Control, same difference as a DUII, same penalties everything.
Just if they feel the hood and its warm.
Also in Washington you can be found guilty of DUI if they found evidence that you were driving and then later found you somewhere at your house and you were still drunk. Say you hit a fence and drove away and they tracked you to your house, theyd still prosecute you for DUI based on legislation ten years ago b/c people can argue that they drank after they got home, changed the law to include that as no defense.

and there are many more reasons not to drink and drive but i shouldn't even have to list them.

people fuck up. i fucked up. i know others that have fucked up. it happens, but i still don't think that if you've got more cash to burn than someone else you should be able to get away with breaking the law.
 
i'm not saying that either but thats how life is.. anyhow my purpose for starting this thread is the best thing to do if faced with cop and you are drunk driving

that's a whole different scenario. need to be caught in the act. I don't agree with DUI charges being filed because someone climbed into their car. I've climbed into my car when trashed with the intent of going to sleep. Hell, a party i was at a few months ago I ended up starting and turning off my car 4 or 5 times that night to get the heat pumping as i was freezing my ass off while trying to sleep.

it's all based on your state laws. i said in my first post on this thread that every state is different regarding DUIs, you just have to know the law.

Hey I dont drink and I hate drunkdrivers, but the rule of law exists to protect everyone even those who are guilty. The old adage of 100guilty getting off to protect one innocent person is what this legal system is found on going back to English law that ours is based on.

Its not at all like saying that if you have enough money then you are above the law, how do you get that. Its about proving someone is guilty of breaking the law beyond a reasonable doubt, whats so hard about that. In a perfect world we all agree in theory that a guilty person that broke the laws of society and the community that passed them then they should face the penalty for it. The law is used by both rich or poor and even the most incompent public defender can make the argument that that is not proof of guilt. If the law was that you face the same penalties if you refuse the test as a DUI but call it failure to provide a DUI breath test then thats fine. You just can convict someone of something that cant be proven in a court of law as follow your thinking that a logical person would take the test to prove they are innocent, not everyone is logical. No person is guilty until proven innocent by their actions, thats not the way it works in the US, its true other places but our society has rules about that for a good reason whether you see it or not, wider implications of that thinking. You dont throw the baby out with the bathwater.

It's Asia dude. The police are the biggest criminals here.

I jumped a red light yesterday and they flagged me over. I didn't say a single word. He opened up his notebook and I stuck Bt200 ($5) in it. He gives me a big smile and waves me on.

It's standard practice.

Phaded,

You're a jackass.

But, because the DUI laws are so freaking unfair, so propaganda ridden, and such a giant lie, I will help you out, if you want.

I got arrested for DUI, in Florida. I went all the way through the process. I hired a lawyer, I hired experts, etc. I wasn't worried about the cost of defense.

If you get pulled over, the best thing to do is to immedialtely light a cigarette. After that, shut the fuck up. Say nothing. Answer with gestures. Take NO tests.

You are going to get arrested. You will have a chance to state your case in court. Not roadside, in court, got it?

The state will make a case too. By shutting the fuck up, and taking no tests, you give them little to go on.

BTW, there is no such thing as an "automatic DUI"; in all 50 states a court proceeding is required to convict anyone of anything.
 
refuse a "test" for intoxication and you get to have a blood test. it happened to me, i refused a pbt

In most states a court order is required, or an accident.

Florida will not draw blood if one refuses, unless there is an accident. I believe you have the right to request a blood test instead of breath, but I am not sure what is involved with that.

I'm like the NCAA selection committee, I look at the entire "body of work", not just some recent shit. You've earned that title.

You prove it because I give you an open door to the best Florida DUI info that money can't buy, (because I bought all the info already), and you get hung up on the word "jackass".

That, sir, defines jackassery.

But if you need DUI advice, I'm here for you. It's a goddam witch hunt.
 
Yup. Last summer. Fuckin sucked. Could have been worse though. I could have killed somebody or myself. I didn't even plan on driving, but there was a fight in the parking lot of the bar we were leaving, and we wanted to get out before the cops came. We had planned on taking a cab. I drove cause I was the closest to sober and the only one without a DUI already(pathetic I know). Fucked up thing is, I blew a .197 and didn't even feel drunk. I had a buzz, but had no idea I was that loaded.

Lesson learned. WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN!!!
 
firstly i want to say that you guys whould just buy a breathalyser for a measly 50 bucks and leave the bloody thing in your car. you cant go too far wrong with that unless youre an idiot.

anyway, most places i have heard of usually have a charge along the lines of "refusing a breath test", which is just there so that they can close the whole refusal loophole and slug you. if you have a legitimate reason, like asthma, then you can request htat blood be drawn. in that case, they usually take you to the station, or to hospital.

something that you can do is to blow into the machine for only a second or so, and then stop, citing that you feel short of breath, and that youd like blood to be taken. if youve been pulled over, well then expect to have the cop drive you somewhere to be tested, if they can be bothered. if youre at a breath testing station, then theyll put you on the bus with the rest of the drunk guys and take you in to the station and do it, giving you a good hour to sober up, and drink a LOT of water, and therefore dilute your blood as much as possible.

i have never been given a DUI, though i feel that i should have (once) when i was probably borderline (they wouldnt let me know what the reading was) but im blessed with an honest face (lol which is greeeeeeeeat, i love conning people ;) ) and so they let me off and said goodnight, and to change my registration sticker (they should have fined me for that also). i now own a couple of breathtesting units taht i leave in teh car or take to a party. if youre going to drink (fortunately i dont drink much) then at least be responsible about it

cheers
 
My ex called one on me. (the girl who I move myself and my company to get away from)

She was the hottest girl in my area, and came from a great family. But, after a month or so, I found out she was nuts. I tried to get out. But, she told me she was prego and I was a loser for leaving her etc. Anyway she milked that for 2 months. Finally, I got her to show me a preg test. (because she wanted me to go w/her to some important party) Of course she wasnt. I kept my end of the bargain and went to the party. She caused a bunch of sceens and threatened me to have me beat up etc. So, I left. (3 drinks) She said she would call a dui if I didn't come back. I didn't, so she called it in.

I got out of it, because the judge knew I was set up.

BTW. She called 2 dui's on her ex-husband!

She is the reason I moved and rarely go out. (Thats why I'm here)

this is why BAC readings on drunkeness are bullshit
they have to draw a line somewhere
but .08 effects on one person can be considerably different on another

nope.I could Never Drive drunk.I couldnt imagine if I hit A kid or something.

I got a DUI because a SOBER person hit me from behind at a stoplight. It was a long time ago so it's kind of funny now. I got off pretty easy, a lawyer friend represented me free of charge AND my insurance company never found out about it. I still drink and drive occasionally, I just watch out for those sober drivers at stoplights. I'm well aware of the dangers of drunk drivers, I was nearly killed by one when I was in high school. Most of us have driven drunk at some point, some get caught, most don't. I read in the paper nearly every day about people who get 4 or 5 DUI's, which blows my mind.
 
About two years ago i crashed my truck (an 86 ford bronco E.B. eddition) into 2 trees going ??? 40 to 50 miles an hour. I was so fucked up i dont remember getting in the car just after the crash and walkin up to the cop sayin im not gonna lie im fucked up. I snapped the drive shaft in the truck, my seat belt saved my life. Spent the night in the hospital, i was only 3 blocks away from my house! I barely drink ne more. Still on probation too. They took my blood - :worried: I had a .18
