Didn’t watch the video, but I bet I know what color Gray is!
Oh ye of little faith in white police officers…I’m sure they would treat a black guy holding up his license to the glass just like a white guy…ha ha ha ha I crack myself up…
How come police do not conduct Driving With Illegal Weapons Stops? Bet they’d stop a lot more deaths than with just the DUI stops alone.
He is correct, but that would of course negate the need for the test since you can’t tell if the driver is impaired. A better way to do it would be to set aside about 1/8 of a mile of the road and put up cones and have each person drive through them and videotape it. If someone drives erratically and starts wiping out cones, THEN you pull them aside and give them sobriety tests, etc.
It would also be a minimal delay since the cones would be on the road being driven on anyway.
They also need to stop making DUI a money making venture by making the limits so low. Instead it’s time to come down REAL hard on people who had 7 scotches and drive and get a 3.0, not some person who had a glass of wine and is slightly over the low limit and driving fine. Right now they both get treated equally, essentially they have to pay big bucks for a lot of BS.
They would love to, but that would be a vehicular stop and frisk. Definitely not legal, you have to have suspicion before you search the vehicle.
But they are absent of suspicion when they are stopping vehicles for DUI checks… or maybe they suspect everybody. I could see being stopped for a traffic violation, and during the stop, had I displayed signs of alcohol use, the sobriety test was administered. But to just stop everyone (or random groups) seems wrong to me.
