Bill Brasky once blew a 3.5 blood alcohol level**

[futaba.79]

now that they've got their portable DUI trailor and the enforcement grant money, the once soft quota is a hard quota. Expect no mercy if you are foolish enough to drive drunk in 'Vegas.

This weekend is Little Sturgis. Word I got from those that make these decisions is that this will be the first big roadblock weekend.

more to do with the fact that this is the first weekend that all the students are back in town. It has nothing to do with the redneck festival that is going on to our southwest. They do this every year on the weekend that school starts back to "scare" the age group that brings all the money to this po dunk town. They already screw enough young peoples lives up now. I cant believe they are spenging more money on this kind of stuff.

This weekend watch out for road blocks in the following places

1. The stoplight on 184 by the overpass and the research park. (to get the people stupid enough to live in the Highlands)
2. Montgomery Drive near Stonehange apartments.
3. Right in front of the Veranda.
4. University Drive near Cemetary. (dont drive drunk down University ever.. bad idea)
5. 184 heading West after you pass by that ghetto meat market
6. Motgomery Drive at Academy Drive. (at the firestation)

Its not a good idea to drive drunk anywhere in Starkville because these douche bags have nothing else to do except %!+$ your life up. Cops get a hard on to these kinds of things. Be careful and get a DD, walk, or get a taxi.

 

[hatfieldms]

Setting up road blocks are screwing up young kid's lives? I always thought drunk drivers killing other people seemed to screw up peoples lives

 

[KurtRambis4]

that cops generally suck, to say that they (cops) are the ones screwing up someone else's life for a decision (to drive drunk) that they (moron that drives drunk)made is just stupid.

</p>Im just saying they spend too much time and our money on the nit-picky stuff like too many DUI's. Even though my dumbass does it some, I do not agree with drinking and driving. They just arrest way too many people for being just over the limit. The limit is too low anyway and its like Starkville cops get a nut over doing these types of things. Yes it will screw up your life if you get two DUI's. I know many people that it has happened to.

It's only a bad idea on University?

Its not a good idea to drive drunk anywhere in Starkville

Once you get out of the city limits, go for it!

these douche bags have nothing else to do except %!+$ your life up.

How dare they! It's all their fault you chose to drive after having too much to drink!

Cops get a hard on to these kinds of things.

As they should...

 

[BillBrasky10]

When your 20 year old kid gets arrested for a DUI after blowing a .02 (about one drink) by one of Starkville's finest, you might change your mind.

Again not saying its ok to drive drunk, the laws are way to strict.</p>

 

[windcrysmary]

it has turned into a fasicst mentality now though... you can put someone in jail for having a glass of wine for dinner if they want to... setting up roadblocks is a clear violation of the search and seisure part of the consitution and why nobody has ever challenged it is beyond me... their actions don't have a rat's *** to do with protecting the public..it's all about confiscating wealth from indiviuduals... nobody cares about an individual getting screwed over these days as long as it is not themselves...

nobody has any balls left in this country...laws telling restaurant/bar owners that their customers can't smoke and stuff.. the continued woosification of our once free society is evident...

 

[Ivehadbetter]

Seems to me the morons need to get a 17ing cab and quit driving drunk.

 

[dawgstudent]

you know the rules before you went out that night.

 

[dawgstudent]

and I want to say you have to blow a .02 or above. I could be wrong.

 

[bulldogbaja]

that's because it's illegal even if you're NOT driving. Why would it not be if you are?
Now if you want to make the argument that the legal drinking age should be 18, that's one thing. But it's not, so if drinking underage is illegal why wouldn't drinking and driving underage be?

No ****, and it should. It will also screw your life up to go out and rob a bank but if you get caught it is your own damn fault. I know of many people who have had their lives screwed up by drunk drivers. Sorry if I dont feel sorry for dumbasses getting DUI's</p>

[Optimus Prime 4]

you should be allowed to have a beer or two to suffer through the other idiots at the bar if you have to drive home. It does not affect your ability to drive whatsoever. If a cop pulls a car full of drunk asses over, and the driver blows a .02, let him go.

If my kid got a DUI, I can assure that I wouldn't start by blaming the police department.

 

[Porkchop.sixpack]

It is real easy for me to say that I know the rules and I should act accordingly. I should and I get whatever the penalty is for breaking the rule -- I have a little maturity about me and have a little experience in seeing other people around me making that mistake. But, there are kids up there that have heretofore had absolutely no experience with drinking, driving, DUI's, penalties, roadblocks, cops, etc. Some of them are going to do something stupid, and it's a shame that there's not a better way than for a cop to get his rocks off for locking a kid that age up for a very stupid mistake like that.

 

[Optimus Prime 4]

it's a ridiculous law. .02 does not impair your ability whatsoever. There is no rational reason that it's .08 if you are 21, yet .02 if you are 20 and 364 days.

</p>But that will never happen is Starkville because of people like Hatfield. People who dont understand the difference between some dumbass driving at 1.4 BAC and striking someone because they can hardly see straight. And someone driving at .04 after having 2 beers and still getting arrested and charged with the same crime as the person at 1.4. **** I can drive at 1.0 and do it just as good as most people who have not had a sip to drink. Laws and laws and I will not drive drunk in Starkville. But leave it up to people who dont understand their limits to %@@% it up for everybody.

 

[cowbell9]

You dont like the fact that 30k new customers come to the area and spend $$$$ like crazy? Idiot.

 

[rebelrouseri]

getting a dui where i stands for influence when you blow a .01 or .02 is ********. Twenty year olds can drive just fine w/ one or two beers over an hour period. Ticket them for underage not dui. They should probably have a sliding scale punishment for dui. The guy that is stinking drunk gets punished more than the guy that is just over the limit (whatever the hell that is since they keep lowering it).

 

[Porkchop.sixpack]

But, it might do you some good to live with the fear that your kid does what a huge percentage of the students will do up there, and might get a penalty that will trail him for years to come. I worry about it every single day. And don't give me some **** about "if you raise your kid right...." If I raise him right, it will work out in the long run. But, that doesn't mean he won't mistakes along the way.

By the way: threads are locked, then they are unlocked. Was there a double secret 6 pack pow wow and the locking member of the pack got vetoed and is now somewhere pissed off?

 

[BillBrasky10]

</p>What are you talking about? I meant the students are the ones who bring money into this po-dunk town and they are rocks off about putting them in jail.

 

[Ivehadbetter]

but the fact of the matter is I know them, I know the consequences, and I know ahead of time that cops hand them out like candy. My children will know this as well. It sucks, but that's how it is. They just will have to learn the difference in consequences for each of the laws.

 

[patdog]

DUI (.10) was a misdemeanor and DWI (Driving While Intoxicated - .15) was a felony. They should go back to the old system with lowered limits (.08 for DUI and .12 for DWI).

 

[Ivehadbetter]

And don't give me some **** about "if you raise your kid right...." If I raise him right, it will work out in the long run. But, that doesn't mean he won't mistakes along the way.

I hate it when people act like parents do a pitiful job when their kid makes a mistake.

 

[patdog]

I think you're right about the underage limit being .02, but what difference does that make. Most people are going to blow .02 after one beer.

Or they just dont want anyone killing themselves</p>

</p> The old laws were fine they just did not enforce them enough. Giving somebody a DUI for a .08 is the same as for somebody driving with a .15. There needs to be some way to punish people who drive extremely intoxicated and seperate them from the people who are not extremely intoxicated. It also should not be a felony unless its your third DUI and thats the way it is now. I just think the laws are too strict but whatever people just have to deal with them and not drink and drive.

 

[futaba.79]

is 'send the message' weekend. This according to my well-placed source. </p>

For the record, I'm 100% in favor of strict enforcement of DUI laws. Just don't like how S'ville goes about it. </p>

 

[Porkchop.sixpack]

But, from personal experience, there is more worry associated with that course of action when you have a freshman than when you have an 11 year old.

No difference in our approach. Just a difference in level of worry.

</p>Im beginning to think you are a member of Starkville PD. And you just want everyone to think that "send the message" weekend is next weekend. When really it is this weekend. Your going to set up tons of roadblocks and then laugh at all the little dumb %+@%* that drive. I see your little cat and mouse game. I can play it too.

 

[Ivehadbetter]

<span class="post-title"><span class="post-title">How could the enforcement of an asinine law not also be asinine?</span></span>

but I think what he might have been saying is this: Law Enforcement is responsible for enforcing the laws passed by the State Legislature. Now, if you don't agree with the way the law is being enforced, that falls on LE. If you think the law is flawed, that falls on the Legislature and not on LE.

I, for one, don't like the law that the Legislature passed, but can't blame LE for enforcing it. I feel the same about the seat belt law.

 

[Ivehadbetter]

I don't even have a kid yet but I can completely understand the levels of worry.

 

[patdog]

One's a freaking felony, the other's a $25 fine. No matter what the law says, police should use a little common sense before giving a 20-year old a felony for driving after drinking 1 beer. I don't think the blame for this travesty falls on the legislature though. I think the .02 limit is mandated by the U.S. Transportation Dept. by making it a requirement to qualify for federal grant money.
