you perverts, its not what you think.


But as a law enforcement officer, i processed my first DUI. I'm going to post a copy of Investigators statement but leave out people names except mine. as that would be an invasion of privacy. This is the document that is going to fry the driver in court.

ON 20JAN06 AT 2345 HOURS, SPECIALIST WALLACE(3-3) WAS RUNNING STATIONARY RADAR ON ATLANTIC AVENUE ADJ THE LIGHTHOUSE, FACING EAST, WHEN A WHITE IN COLOR VEHICLE HEADING EAST ON ATLANTIC PASSED MY POSITION TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, WHICH I ESTIMATED TO BE 40MPH IN A 25MPH ZONE. i VERIFIED THIS BY RADAR TO BE 39MPH IN A 25MPH ZONE AND I CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP.

THE DRIVER WAS SLURRING HIS SPEECH, AS HE WAS TRYING TO TALK TO ME, HE TOLD ME HE CAME FROM THE COMEDY CLUB THAT AT THE FORT STORY CLUB THAT NIGHT AND ADMITTED TO HAVING CONSUMED ALCOHOL THERE.

Err, you have to submit reports all in CAPS? :)

How long does it take to learn that weird 'cop' syntax that makes mall security guards sound so funny? ("White in color" "High rate of speed")

Sweet!

Err, you have to submit reports all in CAPS? :)


actually, yes i do. Its a law enforcement thing, we fill out all paperwork in all caps and all reports are done in caps. it prevents some grammatical errors and with handwritten stuff its more legible.

Wow. Some of the longest run-on sentences I've ever seen in my life.

How long does it take to learn that weird 'cop' syntax that makes mall security guards sound so funny? ("White in color" "High rate of speed")


you can thank lawyers for that.


we talk that way because its clear, and precise. its kind of weird, i've only been doing this a year and now its second nature.

lol @ high rate of speed.

Aren't those documents sealed?

actually, yes i do. Its a law enforcement thing, we fill out all paperwork in all caps and all reports are done in caps. it prevents some grammatical errors and with handwritten stuff its more legible.

So, the CAPS LOCK is glued on your keyboards? :D

Aren't those documents sealed?

no names were mentioned, no ones privacy was violated. and only the Reports are controlled not the investigators statements.

How long does it take to learn that weird 'cop' syntax that makes mall security guards sound so funny? ("White in color" "High rate of speed")

Yeah, really. As opposed to white in size?

Thank the lawyers indeed. :p

this is going to be my first testimony that really matters. I've testified in court for speeding tickets, you win some you lose some on those due to our judges lax attitude towards them. But yeah this is really important. hopefully the guy will just plead guilty, but i have a feeling he's going to be moron.


He really should have just taken the breathlyzer test and then plead down to something smaller in court. God was he uncooperative. I mean really, he'd go off and ramble about something while i was writing his tickets or whatever, i just ignored what he said and at one point I said

"Sir, you've been advised of your right to remain silent, i suggest you take it and shut up so I can finish this paperwork and get you out of here."

Drunks are the same everywhere. People like him could kill someone when given a vehicle.

oh i got irritated at one point when he was like

"your giving me a speeding ticket too?? what for? when was i speeding?"


Me: uhhh thats the reason i stopped you

Him: why you harrassing me?

Me: Because you could have KILLED someone tonight, don't you understand that sir???



god i just so wanted to pistol whip, or get some stick time with my asp. He was irritating,

Drunks are the same everywhere. People like him could kill someone when given a vehicle.
If it wasn't for drunk drivers. I wouldn't get home most nights

Australia and drunks, can't separate them.
At one stage, the currency in Australia was Rum.

are you fucking insane, i know i saw you mention in another thread that your drunk at the moment.

But seriously, riding with a drunk driver is one of the most idiotic mistakes you could make


We had a guy on post about a year and a half ago trash his mustang after he lost control doing 100mph in a 30mph zone on this 1/4 stretch of road. Damn car impacted 4 times after flipping through the air, i mean 4 seperate Flips. The driver was unhurt and blew a .23 on the breathlyzer while the passenger hadn't been drinking and will never walk again. Broke his pelvis and 3 vertebrae. The reason the passenger wasn't driving? He had a suspended drivers license and didn't want to get a ticket. That decision and now he'll never walk again.

This is true. If I had my way we never would have switched to vodka.

are you fucking insane, i know i saw you mention in another thread that your drunk at the moment.I'm practically always drunk.

But getting stuck in Brisbane is a bigger concern then the off chance we'll hit the vast amount of nothing either side of the empty highway.

thats fucked up. just plain fucked up.

thats fucked up. just plain fucked up.The trick is to sift the nuggets of truth. People did die. But I mostly take taxis. Not that I haven't been driven home by drunks tonight or on multiple occasions. But, the City funds cheap taxi rates on weekends.

No offense, but don't you people have spell checkers?

I'm too drunk to click "ABC Check". I don't know what their excuse is. That and I wouldn't want to upset the relationship we have going. You know, I mispell words, you insult me, I make a cheap shot, you invade Poland....

That's the nicest thing you'v ever said to me... Night all. Someone just vomited in my kitchen. So I better go rubt heir nose in it, or something.

This thread was a disappointment.

Well, after the first 20 CAPS, all interest in reading the initial post died...

The title was snappy enough, mind you, but the body of the post just did not have enough OOMPH-factor.

If only he'd been arrested for illicit carnal relations with a rodent...:D

This thread was a disappointment.

Yeah, well, what're you gonna do?

I lost my cherry once you know. Rolled right under the damn couch, it did. Thought this thread might be about serious, real-life problems such as that. :p

Mmmmm... Cherries... :fluffle:

Err, you have to submit reports all in CAPS? :)
I did a bit of software that converts type to all caps. Strange as it may sound it's easier than thinking about how to do things right. If I want to edit multiple bits of text I just type as I want to, Hit the button at the end and we get all caps. That way we dont get stuff like the messy H on the word hit earlier.
Maybe we could use Ctl-Alt-Delete on all the crooks in the world:) :D

Yeah, well, what're you gonna do?

I'm going to sit here and whinge, that's what i'm going to do.

*whinges*

I want some cherries. Well, actually one cherry would be good. One particular cherry, maybe? Eh, i'm rambling. Two days with no sleep. Ehhhhhhhh.

actually, yes i do. Its a law enforcement thing, we fill out all paperwork in all caps and all reports are done in caps. it prevents some grammatical errors and with handwritten stuff its more legible.

Surely it just opens up problems when it comes to 'Polish' and 'polish'?

I wish I had one of those cherry things that has been dipped in chocolate and is filled with vague watery stuff. I had a whole box full earlier, but I lost (by which I mean ate) them when I was travelling by plane from point a to point b.
Yeah, so there, I lost a half-dozen cherries, and now they are gone, never to return. My life is now hollow and my days filled with morning.

Night all. Someone just vomited in my kitchen. So I better go rubt heir nose in it, or something.
I really hope it was your cat or dog, not, say, the date you brought home. :eek:

my days filled with morning.
Sounds good to me.

Sounds good to me.
I was just too depressed to puch the "u" key. Life is just so sad, I do not think I can go on!
*Stabs self with blade located conveniently nearby*
Oh, I am slain. Ouchies.
*dies*

No, no...the Polish do not exist. Everyone knows that. They were just made up by the Germans and Russians to use as a scapegoat for pretty much everything.

And your days are filled with morning? How very strange your life must be.

Quit bitching out my spelling, Jesus Fucking Christ! A man, me, is trying to kill himself here. Can you just save your negativity for the funeral?

Dude, suicide is so emo.

My best friend's uncle was killed by a drunk driver, other people in this thread talk about people they know injured or killed by drunk driving - and it descends to stupid, cheap talk about how great it is to be drunk, the use of caps lock for an official report and how hungry people are. I do wonder why I'm surprised and slightly offended.

To the original matter of the thread: Good job for the DUI arrest. I don't completely understand why you'd release him. I have great respect for the law and those who enforce it, and I am glad for such things as due process, but at times I do wish we could be more like China. It just drives me mad how people can get behind the wheel drunk - don't you have MADD in the United States? Or are people just that ignorant of the consequences?

Dude, suicide is so emo.
Yeah, the "Ouchies" doesn't exactly help, either.

You make the mistake of presuming i'll actually go.

....aaaw, actually, of course i'll go. So much fun to be had at funerals.

Yeah, really. As opposed to white in size?

Thank the lawyers indeed. :p

Just a word of warning: don't count on "judges' lax attitudes" in North Carolina! Most of our judges here are "hanging judges," especially when it comes to DUIs! :D

Well, no offense, but it's not like this was a thread someone posted to talk about how their friend was killed by a drunk driver. It's a thread posted by a guy who, for some reason, wanted the world to know that he just processed his first DUI. And he posted it under "I lost my cherry tonight". I really don't think this thread had the makings of a serious discussion about drinking and driving.

Alas, poor Fiddlebottoms! I knew him, Horatio: Well, not really, but that's beside the point!
a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy:
he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; (or at least posted in the same threads as me, that's got to count for something)
and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is!

*Munches cherries*
You seem to not only have misplaced your cherries, but also lost your marbles as well. I don't seem to have any to spare, so have some cherries instead.
*Throws cherries at body*

Mmmm... Cherries :fluffle:

*notes the carefully inserted "a" :D*

Alas, I don't have one of my own to give. I have to trade ones that belong to other people. :(

You make the mistake of presuming i'll actually go.

....aaaw, actually, of course i'll go. So much fun to be had at funerals.
Everyone will go to my funeral because mine will be the only one in town that gives gift baskets to the mourners.

Alas, I don't have one of my own to give. I have to trade ones that belong to other people. :(
Wait - didn't this just read "I collect those"?! (Foiled your secret editing, didn't I?:p )

Plus, does that post even make any sense?

Here, have some. *Hands Kanabia some cherries*. Try not to lose them this time around.

Yay! Free cherries! Oooh, they're nice and ripe and squishy....*pops*

Everyone will go to my funeral because mine will be the only one in town that gives gift baskets to the mourners.

Whatever will the baskets contain?

Gift baskets! Not that I know you or anything, but can I come, pretty please? I'll promise to cry, too, if you like that kind of thing.

Plus, does that post even make any sense?

No, no you didn't. >.>

*sigh* Okay, yes. But the image of a framed set of popped cherries hanging on my wall was....umm...my brain is burning again. SEE WHAT YOU DID!?!?

And no, no it didn't. Like I said earlier, no sleep.

Whatever will the baskets contain?
Cheap vodka, paper hats, boxes of those little chocolate covered cherry things, and a randomly selected '70s porno.
Oh, and you will all win: Adhesive Medical Strips.

Oooooh, sounds good.

Throw in a cherry flavoured condom and you have a deal.

Oooooh, sounds good.

Throw in a cherry flavoured condom and you have a deal.
Fine, but it will be a used cherry flavoured condom.

*sigh* Okay, yes. But the image of a framed set of popped cherries hanging on my wall was....umm...my brain is burning again. SEE WHAT YOU DID!?!?
Aw, no, who said you were to start with that "thinking" thing again? You know how that always turns out.

And no, no it didn't. Like I said earlier, no sleep.
Well, may I suggest a bed then (very fitting for the topic, I might add)? Not that I don't enjoy your company but it's *counts on fingers* 3am there and you could just call it an early night.


Fine, but it will be a used cherry flavoured condom.
Would that technically still be cherry flavoured?

Fine, but it will be a used cherry flavoured condom.

Done.

Mmmh...cherries and cream...

Would that technically still be cherry flavoured?
That really depends on whom you used the condom with, I suppose.

Aw, no, who said you were to start with that "thinking" thing again? You know how that always turns out.

Heheheh. Yeah. >.>

Well, may I suggest a bed then (very fitting for the topic, I might add)? Not that I don't enjoy your company but it's *counts on fingers* 3am there and you could just call it an early night.

Well, I already tried, but it's way too hot. And you know how you get something on your mind and you keep running it over and over and over and then you realise that you're not actually sleeping but stressing out over something? Yeah. That too.

actually, yes i do. Its a law enforcement thing, we fill out all paperwork in all caps and all reports are done in caps. it prevents some grammatical errors and with handwritten stuff its more legible.
Alot of government things do it in all caps.

Well, I already tried, but it's way too hot. I hate you. I really do. *shivering in two shirts, cardigan, huge woollen scarf, two pair of socks (one thermal)*

And you know how you get something on your mind and you keep running it over and over and over and then you realise that you're not actually sleeping but stressing out over something? Yeah. That too.
Man do I know that. It's like you manage to keep yourself busy enough (if only with NS General, heh) during the day to not think of things that actually are on your mind, but then when you're in bed it all just comes creeping back. I hardly ever go to bed before 4 am, and it takes me forever to fall asleep, so I'm no help in that department.

So this is the thread to be on if you're drunk tonight? Actually its 5.15am, so I probably should go to bed. I'm supposed to be up in a few hours.

I hate you. I really do. *shivering in two shirts, cardigan, huge woollen scarf, two pair of socks (one thermal)*

I would love to swap with you right now. It's a lot easier to warm up than it is to cool down. Sleeping in winter is easy, you just rug up.

Ugh, yep. Only I spent today stressing too...while hungover. And then I had to go to work. So I was stressing at work with a headache. Yeah, it's been a shit of a day. :/

Overall very well done. Is this after it was signed off on? Actually there is only one mistake in the content that I saw, which was the clear cup containing a few drops of wine.
The mention of it could have been left out entirely, however, since you decided to include it, the proper way to identify it would have been a "Clear cup containg a small amount of an unkown, (insert color) liquid." Unless you tested the substance, it is incorrect to identify as fact.

Very good job. If this is your first, you are a supervisors dream report writer.

I would love to swap with you right now. Yes, please let's swap! (I've never been to Australia, too, so that would be a welcome side effect).

It's a lot easier to warm up than it is to cool down. Sleeping in winter is easy, you just rug up.
Lies, boldfaced lies! You just say that because you're a guy - they're like ovens. I can't remember a single instant when I couldn't sleep because it was too hot, but tons of times when I was too cold to fall asleep. Like, I even had to upgrade my sitting-in-front-of-the-computer attire just now to wrapping myself in my sleeping bag. Very sexy. :rolleyes:

Aw, I'm really sorry (not for the hangover, though, that's your own fault; plus, you probably enjoyed working up to it, so there). Have a random fluffle :fluffle: . Wait, make that two :fluffle: . Better yet?

Yes, please let's swap! (I've never been to Australia, too, so that would be a welcome side effect).

Okay, deal. You pay for the plane ticket :p

Heh, well...it's supposedly going to be 43 degrees C today. Try sleeping in that.

And eh, as for the sleeping bag, hmm...under the right circumstances...oh. Don't mind me. :p

Haha, yes. :D :fluffle:

Yeah, it was my own fault. I can deal with it on its own. But, you know....when other niggling annoyances come along and you ALREADY have a headache....

Yay! Thread hijack!

Okay, deal. You pay for the plane ticket :p
Er, I was hoping we could kind of do it, I don't know, virtually or something. For free is really what I mean.

it's supposedly going to be 43 degrees C today. Try sleeping in that.Hmm, that is hot. I'd still be able to sleep, though (I think).

And eh, as for the sleeping bag, hmm...under the right circumstances...oh. Don't mind me. :p Yeah, but do the right circumstances include two shirts, a cardigan, a huge woollen scarf, two pair of socks, and a computer? I didn't think so.

when other niggling annoyances come along and you ALREADY have a headache.... I could totally take this moment to point out that that in itself would a brilliant reason not to get drunk in the first place. But I won't.

Yay! Thread hijack!
Heh, I know, it's almost like IMing (I imagine ;)). But hey, as long as no one's complaining...

Yay! Thread hijack!

Yes! Shame on you! Let's get back to the cherries.

Mmmmm... Cherries :fluffle:

Cherries Flambé
Cherry Banana Smoothie
Cherry Pie

Cherry Grilled Sweet Pepper Salad
Cherry what?

Er, I was hoping we could kind of do it, I don't know, virtually or something. For free is really what I mean.

Meh. I guess we're both out of luck, then.

Yeah, but do the right circumstances include two shirts, a cardigan, a huge woollen scarf, two pair of socks, and a computer? I didn't think so.

Heheh. Well, I do have a pretty good imagination, and i'm already thinking of a useful combination right there. The socks and computer first, see, and...oh right. Cherries. Yes.

I could totally take this moment to point out that that in itself would a brilliant reason not to get drunk in the first place. But I won't.

*whimpers* But but. I'd be stressing over it anyway. Well. Stressing slightly less. But still probably unable to sleep.

Heh, I know, it's almost like IMing (I imagine ;)). But hey, as long as no one's complaining...

....now they will :(

Cherry what?
You really want to know?

3. Remove peppers from bag and peel off skin. Slice peppers into 1/2 inch strips and mix with cherry mixture.

Mmmm Cherries :fluffle:

You really want to know?

It sounds difficult, with possible side-servings of time-consuming and frustrating.

What's the point of food if it isn't a pain in the ass?

Well, that doesn't sound so bad. Except for the part with the cherries.:p

Also, did you just fluffle cherries?

Good question. Just don't eat, like me. :p

Good question. Just don't eat, like me. :p
I eat one meal a day, and it is large and complicated, but then I am done eating/cooking and have the next 24 hours completely free of such worries.

....now they will :(
There, there, no they won't. See, they're just giving us recipes.

*whimpers* But but. I'd be stressing over it anyway. Well. Stressing slightly less. But still probably unable to sleep.
Aw, man, you're dragging me down with you now. Is it really that bad? No relief in sight?

Well, that doesn't sound so bad. Except for the part with the cherries.:p

Also, did you just fluffle cherries?

Yes.

And? Like you don't fluffle cherries when you think nobody is watching. And Strawberries. And Chocolate... Mmmm

And chocolate-covered strawberries with cherries on the side. :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle:

Well, eating is a necessary evil I suppose...but i'm living off cold pizza at the moment, so eh. No effort anyway.

Sorry :(

And it is, though posting here has taken my mind off it for a while. I shall either get relief, or um...not, and it'll get worse. Nevermind me. If I wasn't half-dead right now it wouldn't even bear mentioning, and i'll wake up tomorrow and wonder wtf I was thinking. :p I'd be more clear and whinge about it properly, but eh.

How odd. I highjacked someone elses thread with emo-ish melodrama. I don't think i've actually done that before. I feel dirty. :D

If it makes you feel any better, I think I started it by committing suicide.

How odd. I highjacked someone elses thread with emo-ish melodrama. I don't think i've actually done that before. I feel dirty. :Dwell, I for one was torn between posting something relevant to the thread or waiting to see what happens next.

Considering I forgot what I was going to post, you can guess which I chose.;)

My best friend's uncle was killed by a drunk driver, other people in this thread talk about people they know injured or killed by drunk driving - and it descends to stupid, cheap talk about how great it is to be drunk, the use of caps lock for an official report and how hungry people are. I do wonder why I'm surprised and slightly offended.

To the original matter of the thread: Good job for the DUI arrest. I don't completely understand why you'd release him. I have great respect for the law and those who enforce it, and I am glad for such things as due process, but at times I do wish we could be more like China. It just drives me mad how people can get behind the wheel drunk - don't you have MADD in the United States? Or are people just that ignorant of the consequences?

the reason we didn't hold him, was that I'm military police on a very small post, and we don't have the facilities to hold personell, because in the military if your bad, we process you and hand you over to your chain of command and THEY hold you. either confining you to the barracks or whatever. We have a one person Detention Cell that has to be approved by the Provost Marshal, Deputy Provost Marshall, Post Commander and you have to do a health inspection on subject. So it takes an act of god to put someone in that. If i was civilian police, yeah he would have spent the night in the drunk tank.

Just a word of warning: don't count on "judges' lax attitudes" in North Carolina! Most of our judges here are "hanging judges," especially when it comes to DUIs! :D


well being military, we have to deal with Federal Magistrates. And there is one that is a "hanging judge" and the other, doesn't seem to like us MP's and tosses our shit on a regular basis, just because he "believes" the defendant, that they didn't think they were speeding, but oh don't worry he believes that our Radar was functioning correctly, so he'll reduce damn near every speeding charge to defective equipment, "your speedometer wasn't working"

"Sorry your honor... My glasses are defective... the numbers appeared in reversed order so I thougth I was going 25 instead of 52" :D

[D]on't you have MADD in the United States? Or are people just that ignorant of the consequences?

As far as I know, MADD was founded here.

"Sorry your honor... My glasses are defective... the numbers appeared in reversed order so I thougth I was going 25 instead of 52" :D


whats sad, is that the judge i'm talking about would probably take that as an excuse.


I have both front and rear antenna radars in my patrol car, i was driving down the road, this vehicle was doing the speed limit up till he reached me, then i turned on the rear antenna when he passed me, and floored it up to 15 over the speed limit. I TESTIFIED THAT HE DID THAT. but the judge thought that since he already had -11 points on his license including a ticket for speeding over 85mph that another ticket and more points was the last thing this guy needed.



My DUI is going to depend on which judge i get, i'm almost sure of it, i don't care if speeding tickets get tossed, but i will care if they toss this case.

you perverts, its not what you think.
Then who cares?

I really hope it was your cat or dog, not, say, the date you brought home. :eek:
No, just some random.

Err, you have to submit reports all in CAPS? :)
More importantly how did he do it everytime i try it just goes into the lower case crap.

THE SECRET IS TO MAKE PART OF THE POST IN LOWER CASE, NORMALLY JUST oNE LETTER WILL DO IT.

SON OF A BITCH IT IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT AND HERE I WAS THINKING THE INTERNET WAS AN ARSE WHAT IF I MADE THE FULLSTOP NON CAPITAL WOULD IT WORK?.

CHERRIES!

Ok, sorry, I'll go away now... ;)

actually, yes i do. Its a law enforcement thing, we fill out all paperwork in all caps and all reports are done in caps. it prevents some grammatical errors and with handwritten stuff its more legible.
Indeed capitals are far more legible. Even the worst handwriting can usually be read if in capitals.

As far as I know, MADD was founded here.

It was founded here, however after they achieved their goals, they decided in order to keep the money flowing in they would expand on them and now advocate prohibition and recieve almost all their funding from AllState Insurance of Canada, with the remainder provided by well intentioned tools.

Well. I went to court for this case today.


He got $400 in fines, 1 year Operators license suspension, 1 year probation and Alcohol classes. w00t.

Get a new keyboard. The caps key on your current one is broken.

congrats

Some things that come to mind:


In this country, if you refuse the breathalyzer test, you're being treated as a DUI suspect, which means a mandatory blood test. How could he refuse the test, did he really think it's going to save him?
In this country, only a department head officer (I think it'd be a Lieutenant in English) is allowed to release any information. Troopers can't.


But in any case, the drunk driver was an ass.

we're required to type our statements like that

Freedom of Information Act.

Plus I didn't release any personal info like his Social Security # his Operators license number or even his name. I just described the case. Which is Public Record btw.

Mmm... Cherries :fluffle:

Allow me to please suggest that together with the "all caps" feature, you additionaly use a spell-checker next time, if one is convenient...

I'd assume he was using Formflow, which is probably the least user friendly program ever made.

I was wondering why a thread I didn't recognise was on the front page with the blue tick indicating I had posted in it.


Then I realised when I posted in it the first time it was 2 months ago, and based on the evidence, I was drunk at the time.
