Had a car load of 20 something’s, the driver sitting in my car as I was half way through a warning citation when I noticed one sitting in back seat giving me the finger….had a little talk with him and returned to my car and tore the warning up and had the driver sign 3 citations that he was getting the warning for. He was a little confused and I just pointed to his buddy still flipping me of and said be sure to let your buddy know he is the one that cost you the $$$ in place of the warning you would of gotten because of his actions…. This driver was pissed and cussing at the guy on his way back to the car as I pulled away…

I am working a DUI checkpoint Saturday night with 2 other agencies. This time we took no bikers to jail for dui. But the funny thing is this one a$$hole comes through… YOU KNOW THE TYPE… he has the Harley addition Ford pickup with Harley stickers all over it, he steps out in Harley boots, the Harley shirt, and a non faded leather vest with tones of Harley patches.. it goes on and on with the Harley stuff. And wouldn’t you know he was the biggest *#$)@# of all the whole night. But when I go and ask him what he rides he couldn’t come up with an answer..
To just make my night I had to tow his prideNjoy Harley (PU), that might have been driven home by the big mouth fat lady in the front seat. Except she had to start mouthing off. Thank good for the little law known as public intox. and I get to take all 3 away

I'm not talking being drunk and disorderly ... just trying to get home.
I understand most offenses perhaps like this one, is a chargeable offense and it's up to a police officers discretion to pursue it. But, I guess my question is ... Is it against the law or not?

RE: YOU KNOW THE TYPE...
Back in the days, I had a couple incidents where I was going to issue a simple warning until the passenger piped-up and cost the driver big time. I agree, learn to control your passengers. You can cuss me out, give me the finger or whatever as much as you want when I can't see or hear you, but do it when I can, and it'll cost you...

I have a question...your post reminded me of a conversation/debate I had a while back with someone.Scenario is this: If you have had a couple (not even a lot, but too many to drive) and are getting a ride home ... and the driver of the vehicle gets stopped for some reason and isn't able to drive you home any longer ... Sitting in the car or stepping out to investigate what your options are, can you now be arrested for public intox?

RE: YOU KNOW THE TYPE...
In Wisconsin we do not have the public intoxicant law so if I had stopped someone for DUI and the passengers are just as sh*t faced as the driver I always did what I could to get them home. Whether it was calling a cab, calling their family or making some kind of arrangement for them. The last thing I needed was some drunk trying to walk home and gettin his *** run over while he staggers into the street, or freezin to death cause they passed out on the side of the road. In our state we have to control the situation and the passengers are part of that. In my 25+ years as a Deputy I never allowed a drunken passenger to just wonder off so I could take the driver to jail. Guess I couldn't live with myself if I did and they got hurt, raped (in the case of a drunken female) or killed by some means...but thats just me.

How does one control an ******* buddy from the backseat of your car? It's unfair to penalize one person for what another does. Why didn't you yank the fool who was flipping you off outta' the back seat and teach him something? How would you like it if you were screwed because of an idiot friend of yours that you have no control over?

RE: YOU KNOW THE TYPE...
It seems a little excessive to arrest and fine someone for being intoxicated and getting a ride home. I can understand not allowing them to wander the countryside drunk, but why not just bring them to the police station and have them sit there till they're sober. I'd be pretty pi$$ed if I was being arrested for getting a ride home after I'd had a few. Maybe people are doing this so they aren't on the road driving drunk.

Can be, but 99% of the time someone is called to pick them up... to many lawsuit reg letting that woman walk to a store or home and they getting taken and raped.. safer on both parts to go public intox. then to risk it if no one can pick her up... and that is only about $100 fine and out in few hours... better then what COULD of happend.

It not always the driver that gets the driver in trouble! Yes lippy passengers will get the driver in trouble if I can’t tag the passenger for anything…..

I have to agree. I know discretion is the officer's...but to penalize some poor shmuck who happens to be giving someone a ride, is just not right. To me, and I could be wrong, but that is flagrant abuse of authority.
