There's a chance the ex could be guilty of DUI. Conspiracy to commit a crime, soliciting a crime, and aiding and abetting a crime all make one criminally liable. Prosecutors don't normally charge traffic offenses due to lack of evidence of intent and because they are so minor.

Yeah, this might seem just a *tad* bit suspicious to me...

When a woman tells you that she's a Sharks fan, either she is lying or she is telling the truth.
In either case, run.

/SRSLY - when you're in a dispute like that, you wouldn't fall for other shenanigans like participating in a money scam or being provoked into a fight in public. Don't use your penis for a brain. Penises are fun, but they just can't think.

Well he still drove drunk, didn't he?

FTA: It's a stunning reversal of fortune for a 49-year-old man who, by his own admission, made a terrible decision to get behind the wheel that night in late 2008 after leaving the Old Spaghetti Factory in downtown Concord.

He took a date to the Old Spaghetti Factory? He got drunk at the Old Spaghetti Factory? I think I know why his ex-wife dumped him.

TheOther: Mugato: Well he still drove drunk, didn't he?

Entrapment is legal for private citizens, but not police?

IANAL but I don't see how this is entrapment. Entrapment usually involves something that the subject wouldn't ordinarily do. This guy found the girl on Match.com, chose to meet her twice, chose to drink w/her, and chose to get into the car. Nobody forced him to drive drunk--he thought w/his dick & started driving to what he thought was a threesome in a hot tub.

Besides, the police were acting from a tip--a tip from the lawyer the guy's wife hired to screw him over. It's a slimy thing to do & his ex is a total biatch but I can't see how what she & the lawyer did was illegal.

So, never trust women?

Never trust anyone you're in a lawsuit against. And no matter how hot any woman is, if farking her can come back to bite you in the ass, don't do it.

Oh - and never, ever drive drunk. Even if your dick is screaming at you to drive drunk in order to bang some chick. Or even two of them at the same time. Just don't.

So if you're being divorced, you should distrust all women because it's probably your ex-wife trying to get something to use against you in court?

Go back and re-read. Specifically the part about not listening to your dick concerning driving drunk. never said you should distrust all women, but thanks for playing.

What a load of crap. He was acting on his own free will.

Even if this were otherwise entrapment, the defense of entrapment applies when the government pushes you into the trap. Without government action it's just a girl talking you into doing something you'll regret later. But Bar Girl does not have immunity from prosecution like a law enforcement officer baiting a trap. If she is trying to get you to be criminally drunk in public, she is guilty of accessory before the fact or soliciting a crime.

ZAZ: If she is trying to get you to be criminally drunk in public, she is guilty of accessory before the fact or soliciting a crime.

What? It's illegal to ask someone to follow you in they're car without giving them a field sobriety test first?

If you're in the middle of a divorce, and you're drunk, you should call a cab.
You should also call a cab if you are drunk and not in the middle of a divorce.

In fact, the two times when it's most important that you should definitely avoid driving drunk are (1) when you are getting divorced and (2) when you are not getting divorced.

If you are either currently getting divorced or not currently getting divorced, you should avoid driving drunk.

Stick to those two rules and you'll probably be OK.

Mugato

Accessory and solicitation are intent crimes. The evidence suggests her goal was to get him drunk and encourage him to drive.

zz9: If you don't then I happen to have this money from a Nigerian government official. If you send me your bank account details and a couple of thousand dollars for expenses I'll give you $1million

Wait, why are you offering that to him? I want a million dollars! hold on, I'll get my check book.

1. You cannot get busted for a DUI if you never drive after drinking.

2. If something looks too good to be true, it probably is.

I sympathize with this guy, but only to a point. He sounds too much like the men who say their woman-of-the-moment "tricked them" into conceiving a child by claiming to be on birth control; yes, shame on them, but guys, it was your decision to believe them.

TheOther:

Is it 'Old Spaghetti Factory' or 'Old Spaghetti Warehouse'?


'Round these here parts, it's "Old Spaghetti Western," stranger.

Chariset: 1. You cannot get busted for a DUI if you never drive after drinking

Actually, you can get a DUI just for sitting in your car with the engine off. But yeah, the guy did drive (legally) drunk, whether it was entrapment or not.

biatch set me up!

Wanna bet?

FTA: Susan Dutcher and her current attorney, Pamela Lauser, disagree that Dave Dutcher's arrest affected the divorce and child custody arrangement. They also argue that no one forced him to drink and drive.

The morning I walked in on my then-best-friend riding my then-husband in our bed,
he kept trying to get me to get mad at him and hit him. Fortunately, I knew what a
manipulative SOB he was and that if I *did* give in to the overwhelming desire to hit
him, either a) he'd hit me back, b) he'd cry spousal abuse and use it against me, or
c) both.
