Cops in Dodge City

[booger]

i've heard of several strange stories about pui's. a new form of tax for the city. one fine fellow sitting on his front porch, watching problems in the area, when a LEO pulled up in front of his home, asked to talk to him about what he seen. when he stepped off of the curb, he was arrested for pui. ANY OTHER STORIES, OUT THERE, ABOUT PUI'S???????????

PUI's?? Is that like a "drunk cat"??

I've got some about open containers, but that was back in the bootleg days!

I think he means Public Intoxication. I have heard this story and several variations.

if they don't drink and drive, then why would cops parked outside the bar be a problem? I was drunk and walked past some cops at my apartment complex...i didn't care. They could tag me for public intoxication but why. If someone was ranting about that i would take their side, but not DUI.

come to town and tell me how that goes...sorry pootsy, i'm not gonna be vulgar about it like a friend of mine, but i guess i don't know where you're going with this.

Ok so that was a dumb idea and nobody got my point. Oh well I tried. Now a good idea....i will shut up now. Oh by the way I like Wordys idea.

I got your point, Pootsy. You were suggesting a type of "entrapment", which a few LEO's have been known to do in years past. It can ruin an establishments business, and is not supposed to be allowed; but it happens. Just like a few LEO's spend their "off time" doing some of the same things that they arrest people for doing. One of the main problems I see in DC, is the lack of public transportation and/or establishments providing rides to customers. I would think that if a bar owner here in DC would provide a "DD or free ride home", that their business would show great gains.

I have a relative that has 2 DUIs. Nothing has happened to this person. Maybe 2 days in jail, but that is just not enough. Still goes to Cattleman's every night to get drunk & stoned then drives home. Why isn't this person being held accountable for past drunk driving? Why is this person still getting away with it? You talk about the police waiting outside bars; is this one on their list? No matter what I say to the police, it has to be proven. This person needs to get off the streets & won't listen to family members. Maybe this post will get the LEOs on this board to go down there & wait for drunk people to get in their cars & drive away. I'm all for catching them before they kill someone.

I can tell you if your relative is caught again the 3rd DUI is Felony. There are harsher penalties for felony DUI.
