Just think, if they run the prints and make more arrests maybe a few more criminals will be taken off the street. If just a few are arrested then why not support the program? If you have nothing to hide then you should SUPPORT this program....and Texie...If someone is drinking and driving they should blow...they should say.."yes, i'm drinking and driving...yes I'm putting my life and others life at risk...take me in officer"....not...I don't wanna blow and hopefully I'll beat the charge in court.... |
Well I know that you don't have many friends that are officers........ otherwise you wouldn't feel like that............ smart ones don't blow..... I'm drink at home - doesn't affect me anyway - but Texas officers I know and there are 2 forces worth....... say keep your mouth shut and stay off the breathalizer............ that's what they do when and if they get pulled over...... ( yes there are plenty that do...... it's a very stressful job and they don't always get a ride home cause of who they are )but hey big fella...... do what ya want!! I just think the only way to measue blood / alcohol......... is with blood.............that's my 30 year nursing take on it....... the blow machine is too easy to beat and too easy to fail........
I don't have any problem if I can't prove my identity and there is a reason to suspect I'm someone they feel is wanted. Otherwise......... the only fingers they get are the fingers it takes to say
As a cops mom I am more than willing to be helpful............ not stupid - I figure there are plenty of criminals around worth thier time....... it's just best if they don't ask for my prints...... or to search my car - I have nuthing to hide but the burden of proof is on them not me - so truth is I don't have to prove nor will I probably ever need to prove I'm an OK person. They can tell by lookin at my old lady buick........... they got better things to do than jack me up...........
