Cops Are The Same The World Over

Study the picture first and then read the story.



This happened to an Englishman in France who was totally drunk.

A French policeman stops the Englishman's car and asks if he has been drinking.

With great difficulty, the Englishman admits that he has been drinking all day,
that his daughter got married that morning, and that he drank champagne
and a few bottles of wine at the reception, and many single malts scotches thereafter.

Quite upset, the policeman proceeds to alcohol-test (breath test) the Englishman
and verifies that he is indeed totally sloshed.

He asks the Englishman if he knows why, under French Law, he is going to be arrested.

The Englishman answers with a bit of humor,
"No sir, I do not! But while we're asking questions, do you realize that this is a British car

and that my wife is driving . . . . . on the other side?"

Trained observer?

Good one! LOL

Yeah,..that'll do it! :lol:

Cops stop a man and ask why he is drunk.
The man replys, cause I bean drinking all day.

Or the one where a cop stops as man and asks if he has been drinking, Yep! replies the man. Then, why are you driving if you have been drinking. Man replies, Because I was in no condition to walk!

Man cones home late after a night out with the boys. His wife says, "Why are you coming home half drunk." Man says. "I ran out of money."

In the sixties, my Dad saw our landlord crawl to his truck because he was too drunk to walk.

Before I left the U.K a welsh cop stopped my buddy
in the street, he was kinda drunk coming out the
bar. Cop asks my buddy " have we been drinking
tonight sir" My buddy just looked at him smiled
and said " I have officer but don't know what
you've been doing tonight!". The conversation and
rest of his evening kinda went a little south
after that!.

The reason bar stools don't have seat belts.
They make it harder to know when to quit drinking.

Police are not noted for their intelligence. It
is the power they have over you and they want to
exercise it.

I worked afternoon shift for awhile and was
regularly stopped by cops. I got off work when
the bars were closing so they were fishing for
drunk drivers. Once the cop asked if I knew what
I was being stopped for and I replied yes. He
asked for my answer and I replied Harassment. I
was told it was his job to harass people. At the
same time he handed back my licence and told me
to get out of his car. I was lucky, He could have
shot me and got his 3 days off with pay.

Drinking makes you smarter, Braver, better looking, a world authority, and many other thing. Why not a better driver also. (wink)

It was that way around here for a while, if you drove a pickup after dark near a bar you were pulled over, they figured you had been drinking after work. One time after the officer gave me back my licence and said have a good night I asked him why he pulled me over, he said loud exhaust, I said take a look its all brand new, we both laughed and went on our way.

rented a farm from a guy that drank beer from daylight to dark and he always said he was a better driver drunk than most people were sober. In all the years I don't think I ever seen him act like he had anything to drink.

Back before the mid seventies DWI was not considered to be all that bad. Perhaps because of far few vehicles on the road than today. I remember hearing many times guys saying "I sober up when I get behind the wheel."

A very sombering post to those that have lost a loved one at the hands of a drunk driver.

I'm in the same boat as Mark W. Lost the guy that got me into antique tractors to the hands of a drunk driver 5 years ago. Also had a co worker years ago leave a company party drunk and killed a high school girl, her sister & cousin. He for some reason headed north after the party instead of south towards where he lived.

While I find the original post funny, the after posts about trying to skirt the law while drunk, not so much. I don't care if you want to drink, that's your choice, but please have a designated driver or better yet just drink at home. No one's life is worth a beer...

yup, when I owned my own business I often worked late and sometimes left the office around 2AM (bar closing time in Mich). Was always careful about not speeding, using my turn signals, fully stopping at stop signs, etc. But still got pulled over several times. What was scary was that I often saw other drivers weaving all over, exiting the freeway w/o signals from the far lane, rolling thru red lights or slamming their brakes on just as they got to the light. Numerous times I called the cops on the worst offenders and sometimes followed them until the cops showed up.

What's sombering is the lack of respect given to police officers. They're constantly depicted as crooked, abusive, stupid.

They never pull you over because you were doing something wrong. The officer is just there to ruin your day and make your life difficult. That's how he gets his rocks off, right?

I 71 CARROLLTON KY.

I was coming home from the bar the other night, minding my own business, and some stupid drunk stepped on my fingers!

As far as the lack of respect for law enforcement, the few bad ones and the government's unwillingness to deal with
them combined with the contemptuous attitude many of them have for the public I feel they get what they deserve and
much more. Take for instance the Tennessee Highway patrolman who wrote me a speeding ticket and proceeded to change
the appearance date on the ticket he turned into the court. Okay I was speeding but changing or altering documents
and representing them to the court as authentic is a felony, he should still be in jail not living on a fat pension.

When in the Air Force I dealt with a lot of attitude from the Sky cops. In more than one organization I had to deal
with cops writing OI's that screwed with my ability to perform my duties. For those not familiar with military
procedure an OI is an Operating Instruction, however the basic legal concept for an OI is a commander can issue or
approve an OI but it can only apply to those members and contractors under their authority. If their is a need for a
procedure that effects those under different organizations regulation must be written and approved, the difference
being that the regulation is reviewed by those that it will effect before implementation and published so that those
it effects are aware of it. While at Sawyer we had issues with the Sky cops that seemed almost retaliatory. As the
Munitions Maintenance Squadron we where the control point for ammunition, they weren't particularity competent about
managing their ammunition supply point (or anything else) and when they screwed up I'd make them turn in the
ammunition they lost lot number identity on so it could be destroyed, they got real tired of losing 1/2 to a 1/3 of
their yearly training ammunition and tried to take it out on us.

In one instance a LE troop decided he was going to ticket every officer in our squadron except for one. My commander
asked that the Airman get his flight chief down there and suggested he make some phone calls before he wrote the
tickets, his response was not that professional and did cross the line as a threat. In reality there was no basis for
us getting ticketed, our vehicles were legally parked in accordance with base regulations, if fact what happened was
the Sky Cops didn't properly write down that we were having a party at Lt Dan's quarters, that they had been
notified, and parking on the street was authorized for the evening.

A lot of the Police's attitude comes from the closing of ranks and their members not being held accountable. An
Instance again at Sawyer, I was a single Company Grade Officer, Quarters for unaccompanied Company grade officers
were not available when I signed in (BOQ was being remodeled). I purchased a mobile home and put it in the base
trailer park. It was set up so 4 trailers shared parking and everyone was allowed 2 spaces. I'm single and live
alone. A big snow storm rolls in, I'm out there shoveling snow, the two enlisted EOD troops next door are shoveling,
the lot next to me is empty. The sky cop on the other side and his hospital assigned girl friend...no where to be
found. The Lt, SSGt and SRA shovel off 4 parking places. The Lt (Me) comes home for lunch the next day not to have a
parking space, seems the Cop and his lady friend decided to take up 3 spaces, the SSGt is home for lunch and I don't
have a parking space. I complain to the LE desk, of course I get stopped several times during the next week (21 MPH
in a 20 MPH zone and other serious infractions).

The last time I got stopped and nailed for DWI (Had 2)....Feb. 26,1992, Oroville, CA, to be exact, the arresting officer asked me how many drinks I had had that evening....I, knowing I was "dead meat" anyway, replied, "H-ll, I don't know, I never count after 6 or so. Why do you ask anyway, do you really expect to get a honest answer out of anybody who has had more than a few"? His reply was, "Being candid is not going to help you Mr. -------, but you're right, and probably the most honest guy I've stopped in quite a while, it's just routine I guess".....Well, he was right, honest or not it didn't help me. It was about a 5000 doller caper, all totaled up..... I'm proud to say I've never been drunk again, driving or not. In my 80 years in circulation, I've found law officers to be about like everybody else I've dealt with, 3 out of 4 are decent, honest, fair, hard working people, the 4th one is a useless, lazy, lieing, loser....no matter what they do for a living.

Having been on both sides of this issue I can truthfully state that the whole problem comes from the downhill slide our society as a whole is taking. People treat each other like crap these days, doesn't matter if it's cops, clerks, teachers, whatever. No one gives anyone any respect in the first place. It echoes across the spectrum. Cops are just people and between society and lowered standards...you're going to get issues.
