You must think police only ever act in the best interest of the community and do not abuse their power.

Some people should not be cops, and that SOB is one of them. That was BS.

He did not appear to be impaired while watching him dock the boat. Show him your required gear and provide registration and don't offer any further information. Take me in if you must but I'm not playing your silly parking lot games.

As soon as the driver admitted to having one mixed drink, he was instantly guilty as far as that cop was concerned.

Then the poor bastard had to let some strange dude drive his boat away.

He had that poor bastard playing patty cake games to prove he was sober. Ridiculous. The government and its agents are the enemy of the people.

I've seen these videos before. The FWC agents are fricking clowns. It's like sport for them to hassle and arrest people.

And don't get me started on the stupid hand and finger tests. What the frick is that? Are they even recognized tests?

First, never admit to having anything to drink in any amount and second they dont need to know where you coming from or where you going, especially if are just leaving from a bar. Lastly, don't do any of those test. They all made to get you to admit that you were drinkng. "I couldn't do that if I was sober".

DWIs can be beat as long as you don't self incriminate yourself.

Just saw a video where the cop asked some guy these stupid questions and he said coming from Point A. Going to Point B. I laughed.

SFST is horizontal gaze nystagmus, one legged stand, and walk and turn. SFST, when conducted properly, is basically voodoo; any test not in the SFST battery is just fricking with you.

They are defined as "divided attention test"... give so many instructions, can't possibly follow them all. That is why / how people are set up to fail.

Cool story time….. while in college the cops would come grab some of us at the fraternity house. They would give us a case of beer and some crown. I think it would be 8 of us. They would let us drink for over an hour and then train the new guys by performing the tests and then drive us back to the house.

There are tricks you can do to pass the tests but they are difficult. I got pulled over after practicing the tests and I had about 3 or 4 beers. I performed the tests and the cop let me go home. The eye test is difficult but don’t file the light all the way, go as far as you can and focus on something in the distance, they are looking for your eyes to shake or your head to turn.

Especially when a MF trying to get you. Good ole Monroe and the DUI gestapo tried to get me. I was coming back from the parade (which allows you time to consume 2-3 beers if you chug) and got pulled over... had drank, but was very sober. MF was yelling at me while doing the flashlight shite and rattling me... yelling at my wife saying I was failing and best get ready to pick me up tomorrow. Leg lift and straight line were was more concrete and I aced them both and a few other tests and he had to let me go
