Do you seriously not realize he could've have caused an accident that got himself, his wife or others injured or even killed. And if you don't think it happens then you might want to do some research.
Didn’t know being a police officer gives you the right to talk to people like that
"We need to let people drive around drunk on bicycles and other modes of transportation, otherwise they'll just get behind the wheel of a vehicle while drunk" is a weird argument - especially when you think about why they're presumably riding drunk on a bike: they have enough awareness to know they shouldn't get behind the wheel of a vehicle.
Then explain why cops dont deal with drunk bikers like they do drunk drivers
Guess I won't worry about explaining why cops don't deal with drunk bikers like they do drunk drivers. [Spoiler: something about frequency of events, but I'm sure you already knew that.]
Saying we can't suspend someone's license for driving something that doesn't require one incentivizes an offender to both use the "no license required" devices while drunk [because ... what real downside is there? The state can't prohibit them from using it] and increases the chances that they'll get drunk and operate something that does require a license (and for which they may or may not have a license).
No, it's not. It's just dumb and you'd be singing a different tune if you had a kid, sibling, parent, spouse etc killed by a drunk driver.
Yeah it has nothing about frequency of events. Most cops just don’t care about drunk bikers because it’s a much lower risk situation than a drunk person behind a motor vehicle.
Freedom is a right, sure. But it isn't the only one. Rights have limitations that are met when other people's rights become or potentially become breached.
If someone had told me that a guy driving a golf cart, at what less than 10 miles an hour in freaking Florida, gets pulled over and the video goes viral I would have thought that's weird everyday Florida stuff why is it news worthy.
Or, maybe people are lazy and when they're 3 sheets to the wind, they try to put forth as little effort as possible and will choose to hop on something with a motor that they can just put in gear and it goes forward and the have to sort of steer and maybe apply the brakes, instead of choosing something that requires them to steer and pedal and pedal to keep going and which is more likely to crash when they fail to do that and dump them on the ground and cause injury, all while sitting on a "small enough to wedge up your ass" seat just so they can ......
I think you should ask me what I think, instead of pretending you think you know what I think when we both know you don't know what I think.
The only people who should ever get popped for DUI are those who are in an accident? Or speeding? This is a bizarre take.
If I've read the thread correctly, it's just the ones who get in an accident using a vehicle that requires a license who should get popped for a DUI. Maybe. It depends on the pitch of the cop's voice and whether he says the right words in the right way.
I said this earlier in the thread. The cop has a camera. He knows he has a camera. His job, in-part, is to get idiots like a DUI Brunette off the road. To do that he needs evidence. Thus, the cop fed Brunette lots of lines to get him to talk, and talk he did, right into a DUI no lawyer, amount of money, or coaching job is ever going to get him off of.
If you bothered to read any of numerous news articles written about the entire affair written by actual journalists who check the facts and reports instead of just repeating incorrect, cherry-picked assumptions by others who never bothered to read actual reports either, or even used the information I just spoon-fed you straight from the Brunette's slurring mouth, you wouldn't keep banging-on about how he didn't drive on public streets.
