The dumb drivers thread
This is a good one lol. Woman crashes her car into a house in front of witnesses and walks off, gets stopped by the cops and won’t admit she did that even though her car is crammed into the side of their house with her purse and all her stuff in it
I actually laughed out loud when she cried in the backseat of the police car lol. 4th DWI, unbelievable.

one thing i've learned though as far as a situation like hers, is she should have not said anything to the police.

The fact that she thought she could weasel her way out of it is what’s funny lol.
I have zero sympathy for people like her. She’s lucky she didn’t kill anybody. Or that she hasn’t….yet

maybe so but it fits the thread subject!
that is absolutely not true. they risk their lives every day to keep law abiding people safe and attempt to get law breakers off the street. these days however the legal system seem to be working against that a lot which must be unbelievably frustrating for police knowing it's just a revolving door for a lot of criminals.
having said that, not all police offices are good, or smart, plus they just plain make mistakes.
as for my comment about not saying stuff to police, it's because they are are of course TRAINED to get info out of people they suspect of having done something, often by seeming to befriend them, saying they want to get your side of the story, etc. even if you believe you've done nothing wrong, your best bet is saying nothing and getting a lawyer. they know the system and can work on your defense. but hey, if you think all police officers are on your side, none want to make arrests no matter what, and they always do the right thing, squawk away... lol
You don’t think much of police officers do you?

Actually this is the dumb drivers thread. I guess you could make an argument that they drove the police car onto the train tracks lol.
But I agree with Mmarshall, nothing she said or did made any difference. She belongs in jail and hopefully that’s where she was headed (although sadly I doubt it)

IDK what state that is but 4th DUI is a felony here, the big house. You either lose your license for 10 years or life, I can't remember.

While there are some Constitutional protections such as the 4th-Amendment search-issues, (and courts have ruled on them as applicable), in all 50 states and D.C., driving on a public road is legally a priviledge, not a right. When you sign your name on a Driver's License, you are agreeing to obey all local, State, and Federal laws that are applicable. That includes laws on DUI/DWI.

My post I mean this in more of a general sense, however. A police officer has no standing to do anything and/or say more other than nod or say hello to you if you're not breaking any laws or showing some probable cause that you might be.
But DO NOT GET ME WRONG I AM 100000% PRO POLICE!
But citizens do need to be aware of what police can and can't do, because a lot of the things they can't do, the bad apples do anyway, unfortunately.

If you watch that video you can see where bit is coming from, they are definitely trying to get her to talk to them when in reality she doesn't have to, and nobody is telling her she doesn't have to and she's too drunk to have her senses about her to know she doesn't have to. They're just doing their jobs and like I said I have zero sympathy for her...but there is a conflict between how they can most efficiently do their jobs and making sure that she is aware of her rights.
