How to avoid a drunk driving/DUI arrest

[derbdog79]

I have a better idea...don't drink and drive. There are these special vehicles called "cabs" with drivers called "cab drivers" who will drive you home for a few bucks.

[Dwml]

@derbdog79 talking down to others as if they were children wont get you anywhere in life.

[jeffcodog]

Yes!!! I agree.... Stay home and get hammered so you won't have to drive drunk!!

[EIB11C]

So the on-scene testers are not used in NJ. Not sure where they are allowed. There is a lot that goes into a DUI arrest to follow through to conviction. An officer has to invest a lot of time and effort into geting it done properly so most are not going to go through the process to purposely screw someone if that person isn't truly impaired. If you are involved in a fatal/serious injury crash and you have alcohol in your system even not being impaired can be a problem bothin all Courts.

This is why I only stick with one beer if i'm a driver, I know that after an hour the beer is out of your system, but I go a step further and have food wile I play pool!

[MasterMoron]

@pbrskater26 it's still best to remain silent. Even if you admit to just one beer, some cops are assholes and will still arrest you.

[Trashfished]

actually I drive better after 6 or 7 beers Im more cautious and make better decisions.

[umimdan]

hahahahahahaha. indeed.

[somberlight]

wait, what? did i get anything right, he's basically saying its not that bad if you end up drinking and driving - heres how you're going to look better in court!

[bjoelfn55]

Wow you don't have to be a rocket scientist to come up with that! And this guy wrote a book? How the hell did it get published? This guy is scum!

[SirFightsalot]

first of all no one should be drinking and driving and if u do u deserve to be caught doin it and get ur licence suspended...i dunno why this guy is trying to defend ppl that drink and drive..at least thats how it sounds when he goes on talkin about all the things...oh u can refuse this and that...well when u refuse all the time it obviously becomes evident that you've been drinking and driving...

[MasterMoron]

@SirFightsalot why do you assume that everyone who drinks socially is a drunk? You can have a few beers and still get pulled over by the cops. Even if you're not drunk it's important to know your rights.

[ants41]

If people are going to drink and drive and risk other's safety, maybe they should spend a few hours in jail. The purpose of police making a presence is to deter crime, so if people know how to bypass that, whats their motivation for NOT driving drunk aside from the few that actually care about the welfare of others. Its one thing to know your rights so you can protect yourself. Its another thing to take advantage of a disciplinary system and get away with what you please.

[ants41]

Ok, this guy is doing one of two things. Either he promoting drunk driving, or promoting himself or his book for financial reasons.

I'm going to guess he wants to sell a book or get a little more business in the courtroom.

[harborangler89]

astrojet990 you are a fucking idiot. As an american you have rights all this guy is doing is illustrating what those inherant rights are.

[heysaturdaysun]

@harborangler89 inherent*. and don't i have an inherent right to not get my shit fucked up by someone who chose to be irresponsible and drive while unable to properly do so?

[astrojet990]

I hope you're prosecuted somehow for being an accessory to DUI, telling people how to commit a crime and avoid being investigated!  And I sure hope none of your relatives is ever a DUI victim!

[wait887]

he's telling people their rights. what's wrong with that?

[amaduli]

He said not to drink and drive. Other than that, people have the right to understand their rights pertaining to how the police are going to try to prosecute you.

[astrojet990]

Bullshit. He's telling people how to avoid getting caught. Big difference!

[jefftastic]

First of all, he's not telling people how to commit a crime or how to avoid being investigated. If you're pulled over or stopped by a law enforcement officer, you're already being investigated - regardless of why you were stopped. The attorney was educating viewers on the constitutional rights that they have, just specifically in the situation of being suspected of DUI. Nobody should ever drink and drive, but by the same token, nobody should ever be unaware of their own basic, civil rights.

[sk8erguythrice]

your a fagget i hope u get a dui and get fckd for life

[acoliver]

Just the first DUI costs about $5000 in attorney fees, court costs, fines and higher insurance rates plus sometimes community service or jail time. And of course you have the discomfort of being handcuffed for around an hour or longer. If you kill someone while driving drunk, you can go to prison for manslaughter even if the accident was not your fault. A cab ride is MUCH cheaper. If you are going to drink, drink responsibly.

[jmagness705]

try not drinking and driving....ever have a family member killed by a drunk driver....fuck lawyers they are crooks its all about money

[amaduli]

That's why he said at the outset not to drink and drive. so... he DID try that.

[chrisgurule]

you are absolutely correct. he is telling you how to get out of a jam if you are drinking and driving. however, like i said previously, there is a huge difference between drinking and driving and being drunk and driving. haven't you ever had a single beer with dinner? it stays on your breath regardless of the fact that you are far from being "intoxicated." this video is merely telling you to not drive through areas where cops will smell the ONE beer you had and assume you are drunk.

[tcufrogz]

Drinking and driving is fun and cheap! I only hope I can mow over a family of wetbacks..

[EIB11C]

Boviously don't drink and drive is the best advice. It is irresponsible to tell people that they should do it at times and places that they can avoid contact with police. When the do this they will no doubt be in contact with another person..more than likely minding their own business until this drunk fool runs into them. Funny how you can morally justify helping someone get away with drunk driving...I find it shameful.

[chrisgurule]

there is a HUGE difference between "drunk driving" and drinking and driving. people are very ignorant to what the topic is. they tend to see what they want to see, which is EXACTLY what he is trying to protect you from. he is telling you that say you had a beer or two and you are driving home. if a cop pulls you over and smells beer, what is he going to assume? funny how people on youtube can post comments without even having a clue what they are even commenting about... i find it shameful.

[EIB11C]

Actually my friend I have extensive experience with all this and I find it egregious that someone get on here and post a video telling people how to get away with it. You can twist it any way you want but the bottom line is that he IS telling you how to avoid getting in a jam if you find yourself "drinking" and driving. Get out and see some of the carnage caused by thses jackasses and then come talk to me. I think your comment is as shameful as the these lawyers posting this irresonsible vid

[MasterMoron]

@EIB11C having a beer at dinner isn't going to cause "carnage".

[EIB11C]

@MasterMoron I agree with that in most cases..however very few people have 1 or even 2 beers only. Alcohol consumption does diminish your cognitive skills and most police are not going to arrest you if you are not absolutely impaired. The alcohol test machines are computerized and are almost completely free of being tampered with if done properly. If done improperly they are programmed to flag errors. You are either missing my point or are just posting anti-responses for shock value.

[MasterMoron]

@EIB11C very few people have 1 or 2 beers only? Haven't you ever heard of having a couple of glasses of wine at dinner or a couple of beers after work? And I'm not sure what you mean about the alcohol test machines being computerized and free from errors as there is more than one kind of test. The breath test that they give on the scene is highly innacurate and isn't admissible in court. The breath test at the station is more accurate, but by that point you've already been arrested.

[EIB11C]

Well almost all people stopped and questioned say they only had "1 or 2 drinks". The Breathalyzer has been phased out everwhere I believe and that was the only machine I have seen that is done manually. The newer ones Intoxilyzer, Alcotest and such are all computer driven. You only enter their information and the computer does the rest. The on-scene breath machines are inaccurate because in order to obtain a true reading you have to wait a minimum of 20 minutes for mouth alcohol to go away.

[MasterMoron]

@EIB11C Most people use the term breathalyzer to describe a breath test. I wasn't specifically naming a brand. Anyway, all of the breath tests only measure alcohol on the breath, not alcohol in the blood. The machine is based on the premise that the ratio of alcohol in the breath to alcohol in the blood is 1:2100 but in reality the ratio varies from between 1:1300 to 1:3000. So, someone could blow .08 and the actual level of alcohol in their blood could be higher or lower than that.
