Krupicka was released after being cited for no seat belt and drunken driving.
How could they prove she wasn't wearing a seatbelt? And how can they charge 2 people with DUI in one car...forget it. farking cops.

Cops frequently find people asleep in their car and charge them with drunk driving, because they assume the people are sleeping it off. There was recently a supreme court case where they had to tell the cops they couldn't give someone a DUI if the car was inoperable or the "driver" didn't have the keys.

A) If care and control laws in that state are like here, sitting in the seat with the keys in the ignition (or easily at hand) is enough for a charge, but...
B) According to the better and more-detailed article this one is sourced from, the second man actually tried to drive the car out of the mud, so they both legitimately operated the running car while drunk

well as if you are in the seat and the car is on you are the operator. Plus it sounds like the other person was trying to get it unstuck so they were driving too. It's not really protecting the public as the laws are intended... but they did break the law. This isn't the best example of cops being a dick about dui's. I'd go with one of the cases of someone sleeping it off in a parking lot.

Cops nailed me when I was sitting in my car letting my phone charge to call my ride. Something about keys have to be 500 ft away from the car. The more you know I guess.

Some days it's easy to be a cop
Not as easy as the time a former work colleague arrived at a sobriety roadblock from the wrong direction after driving drunk down the wrong side of the road. With expired out-of-province plates. And an expired driver's license. With a non-roadworthy car.

And the obligatory

We've all driven past our limit when we shouldn''t have.
Most of us have never crashed
fewer of us have never injured another person in it
none of us have killed anyone because of it

I had a friend get a DUI for sitting in a car currently on a jack and missing a wheel. It was thrown out of court, but in the meantime he had to get processed like a criminal and spend a night in jail. Total bullshiat.

Same way they prove anyone else wasn't wearing a seat belt, they walk up to the car and see if you are wearing a seat belt.
And how can they charge 2 people with DUI in one car
If the cops know you were driving (TFA doesn't say how they got this information, but they apparently did), and also catch your drunk buddy driving, you're both going to get charged with DUI. That's how. C'mon, this isn't rocket surgery.
...forget it. farking cops.
Look, I'm not exactly the biggest cop fan out there, but this isn't a case of The Man throwing around too much authority. A couple of drunk retards got caught red handed acting like drunk retards. I'd be annoyed if the cops
didn't
do something about them.

A few years back I was working DUI enforcement and stopped a guy that was weaving badly. He was hammered and failed every test, so I arrest him and put him in the back of my car. We were stopped on a dirt shoulder just off the road. Just after I put the drunk in my car, I look up and here comes a small pickup truck driving on the shoulder. He pulls up next to me, and I walk over to see what he wants. He looks like the same guy I just arrested, and he's just as drunk. He asks me if I just arrested his twin brother since that was his car I had stopped. I end up arresting him too, and I put him in the back of my car with his twin brother. They thought it was the funniest thing that ever happened to them and they were both laughing their asses off. Then one of them asks me if I'm Officer Twelve, and I say yes. He laughs and reminds me that I had arrested him once before for DUI.
Sometimes the job really is too easy.

IIRC, you're also a motorcyclist. As a daily rider (commuter) in a drunken town I kinda have a sore spot about people drinking and driving. You and I both know that the only thing dumber than your average "cager" is one who has convinced him/herself that since they can still stand, they must be OK to drive. "I can't believe I got a DUI! I only had 5 beers!"
STFU, all of you. Every time you drive home after a few hump day happy hour margaritas with the guys from the IT department (it was just a few drinks!) you're a farking menace to the motorcycle braking for a traffic light in front of you. GTF off my road.
That being said, I'm hardly a fan of MADD and their hysterics having so much think-of-the-children! influence on our lawmakers, but if you're driving drunk you deserve the night in jail and some hefty fines.
/full disclosure: I've ridden a bike drunk at 95mph, but that was 15 years and a vast amount of maturity ago, and I've haven't turned an ignition key after drinking, since

Who would have thought, a holier-than-thou motorcyclist with a touch of hipster and teetotaler throw in for good measure.
I've seen just as many drunk guys on motorcycles as I have cars. I've also seen more than enough motorcycles who drive far worse than your average drunk person. No, doing that wheelie on your rocket at 90 mph in the 25 mph zone is not safe. I don't care how skilled you think you are, or what you learned in your training course. You can't control external influences on the public street.
The only good thing about motorcyclists is that they tend to eliminate themselves from the gene pool.

Wow... you must be really angry after your wife left you for a motorcycle. Chill out, dude. Regardless of his attitude, OP makes a good point. Driving drunk is a larger hazard for motorcyclists than it is for other 4-wheeled vehicles as riders are more exposed and less visible- like pedestrians that move fast.
Riders can be jerks just like everyone else, and most riders hate people who ride like idiots MORE than non-riders do. Not only is it dangerous, every time some idiot on a sport bike splats himself stunting, or some macho "biker" gives himself a lobotomy after wrecking his retardedly-loud Harley... my insurance goes up, and it makes all riders look stupid.

I just favorited you because in my life the guys that chose to become cops were guys that I really thought were sort of douchy and belligerent. Also, those guys weren't that intelligent.
I've interacted with police officers five times in my life, and three were douches that didn't need to be, therefore (although I was exceedingly polite ALL 5 times) it makes me scorn guys that decide to become cops.
We're all guys, what gives? What's good, what's bad? Every job has crappy points and I totally understand that "might get shot tonight" ranks as a huge consideration. Huge.
But it would be nice that if I Cali-rolled through a stop sign with no other traffic or I was driving in Florida with temporary Georgia tags, you wouldn't pull me over for almost an hour.
I've gotten friendly warnings too, so it's not all bad. But I'd really like to know the motivation.

"cager" is an accepted way to refer to automobilists amongst the motorcycling fraternity. Nothing for

Yeah...read the farking post I quoted. He basically says all people (except bikers, of course, they all make Einstein look like a retard) are stupid and to be looked down upon. He's a condescending dickhead (in that particular post). I regret nothing, captain.

I put "cager" in quotation marks because it is a phrase common among motorcyclists to succinctly denote idiot drivers. Saying "drivers or four-wheeled vehicles" would have unnecessarily included the majority of responsible automobile operators out there.
When did I condescend to people who prefer four wheels? All I did was bring up the vulnerability of cyclists engaging in a perfectly legal hobby, one that you are required by law to respect. Sounds to me like you have more sand in your vagina than I had "snark" or "condescension" in the original post. Get over yourself.

Which one is it, then? It can't be both. To be honest I took it to mean you were calling all auto drivers idiots. By sheer percentages, I've seen bikers do a lot more stupid shiat than I've seen from auto drivers. I say that and my
favorite hangout is a biker bar

I don't know how it is iwhere
dickfreckle
lives, so it may be a regional thing. Around here everybody in a car is a "cager" and unless they display unusual driving skills they are assumed to be idiots.
No point getting all riled up about it; it's just a defense mechanism. If you assume the person beside you is going to make a moronic manoeuvre you stand a better chance of avoiding an accident. Every so often you will be proven right.
Personally, I adopt this attitude whether I'm on two wheels or four.
