He is blitzed out of his mind and operating a motor vehicle on roads that other people use. He is a grown man that knew or should have known he was breaking the law and potentially putting himself and others in danger. I'm not saying give him the Death Penalty, but actions having consequences isn't a bad thing.
Sounds like some fun. Better put an end to that.
It’s quite shocking how many people are defending someone for drunk driving and blaming the police for doing their job.
I'm really glad those cops saved that poor community from that dangerous golf cart.
I’m really glad those cops prevented anyone from getting hurt by a drunk driver.
He's driving a golf cart, stop with this holier than thou attitude. He's probably being more responsible than majority of people who go to bars late at night by not operating a vehicle that can actually do real damage.
That’s what he said he was going to do. He also said that he wasn’t driving the vehicle, and that he had one… no sorry, two beers at the restaurant he couldn’t remember. He was lying throughout the encounter.
This kind of legalistic post hoc logic takes all the common sense out of policing. We still haven't established whether you are allowed to refuse a walk test anyway.
Are you seriously defending someone operating a golf cart, which was also on public streets that had other people driving normal vehicles on them when he leaving a restaurant before being stopped in the gated community, while drunk?
Youd quickly drop this act when you realize riding a bike drunk is also a DUI.
You're way more likely to get seriously hurt playing any sport or weightlifting than you are to get your or someone else hurt operating a golf cart. There's a higher chance of you being involved in a accident walking or running than there is for you to be involved in an accident with a golf cart. 150,000 injuries over a 10 year span, most of which occur on a golf course is an extremely small number when you compare it with any type of outdoor activity.Thats the thing. If there was even the hint of excessive force, I’d be all over the cop as well. But, at least from the video provided, it looks like everything was done by the book.
Study finds golf cart-related injuries are common
Columbus, OH — Golf cart users, be “FORE!”-warned: The zippy means of transportation – no longer limited to golf courses – carries “considerable risk of injury and morbidity” to drivers and passengers of all ages, especially kids and older adults, say researchers from the Center for Injury...www.safetyandhealthmagazine.com
or, if you prefer, we could just use hockey as an example:

They were not public streets - its a gated community
I don’t have an opinion on this one way or the other as I’m not familiar with the area, but I’ve read posts from multiple people ITT who’ve said that the street this arrest occurred on is a public road, not a gated community.
He was leaving a bar.

Well as someone familiar with the state of Florida; gated communities and golf carts are more tied together than California beaches and surfboards
I ride my bike drunk all the time at the Jersey Shore - you mad? Cause you know thats a DUI as well; or is it only when you feel like applying the letter of the law?He was leaving a bar.

I seriously can't believe you're defending someone drunk driving.
So you mean 'putting others at risk' isnt black and white?
Yes, I am. Your average road bike goes faster than your average golf cart, You're 10x more likely to get into a serious accident riding a bike than you are driving a golf cart. I wouldn't chastise someone for riding a bike drunk and I'm certainly not going to chastise someone for operating a safer vehicle either.
