A friend of mine just yesterday afternoon got pulled over for "driving while intoxicated" after passing the breathalyzer with 0.00. The cop took him to the station and had his car impounded. He was then given multiple comprehensive drug tests by the stations "professional". He has passed everything so far and is just waiting for the urine test results to come back which won't turn anything up since he doesn't smoke, take pills, etc... Regardless of all this, the cop still gave him a DUI and he has a court date in a few weeks. Bottom line, don't get pulled over in Albany, Oregon.My wife had a ride a long on Friday and she was telling the cop about my luck. I have gotten 2 tickets from asshole cops. Both stopped me hoping I was drunk, found out I wasn't, so one gave me a speeding ticket (wasn't even close to speeding) and the other gave me fail to stop at a sign (I totally stopped).
His response was there are 2 kinds of traffic cops:
1. If I pull you over, you are getting a ticket for SOMETHING
2. If you check out and aren't an ass, you will likely get a warning.
His rule was if it was something he does himself (like change lanes without a signal), you will get a warning if you are clean otherwise.
I thought it was an interesting take. He agreed both tickets I had were total BS.
