When I was in my 20s I came out of a restaurant that was also a bar around 11pm and walked to my car with my friend. I saw a cop car in the parking lot but thought nothing about it. As soon as I left they followed me and turned on their lights. I had nothing to drink, which I told them, so was I wasn't worried. The 2 woman cops stopped me on a slope and wanted me to walk parellel toe to toe and i said that the surface must be flat but they still made me do it. I started calling them idiots and they said "Do You Want To Go To The Station for a Breath Test" and I said YES, "You are wasting my time so let me waste yours" They gave me a seatbelt ticket which was also a lie but I won in Court. Don't be scared to fight them.

Cop: I smell alcohol.
ME: then stop drinking 😂

In 1985 I was arrested for DUI and hadn’t had a thing to drink. When I went to the police station, I blew all zeros twice and they put me in jail anyway for a week. I lost my license for a year and it cost me about $5000 then but back then they didn’t sue everybody like they do now. They were turned in by a whistleblower and low and behold, I don’t have a DUI on my record and I called DMV in Charlotte North Carolina where it happened and they said we have no record of it. They are all nothing but criminals.

My answer was “not yet”. Cop chuckled and told me to have a nice day.

My sister was pulled over the other night on the way to the store. (Florida)
She hasn't had a drink since 1995. The officer told her if she refused a field sobriety her driver's license would be suspended. She has a metal plate in her ankle. Had she of not complied, she would have been arrested and had to spend the next 2 years going to court every 2 months.

Officer have you been eating doughnuts ? Your eyes are glazed.

I worked 2nd shift for 20 years, and I frequently drove home around bar time, and usually got pulled over 5+ times a year. I was frequently told they smelled alcohol, and I would say "not from me, I just left work". Some would ask " do you drink at work?" which would answer "no, I would get fired for drinking at work. In most cases that would end the stop, usually because they had no other reason to stop me. It got better as the years went by as the same officers would pull me over and remember me from a prior stop and end the stop. I just completed 50 years of driving, and glad to say I have never had a ticket in all those years.

People have medical issues that effect balance. Sometimes people can drive okay but they can't walk very well. Older people don't always hop around on one foot very well.

Cop said that to me once.
I replied,  " I smell it, too. But that wasn't until you showed up. Have you been drinking?"

I got pulled over on New Years Eve about 15 years ago, it was around 11:30, I had been to McDonald's which is on a plaza next to a TGIF which was open for parties, late. I had moved to a new house and took the long way home. I parked and he pulled in behind me, he started with I smell alcohol. I said I didn't know McDonald's used alcohol to cook them and took another one from the bag. He saw the bag on the passenger seat and walked back to the car. He stopped, turned around and said were you in TGIF tonite, I said no, not since 2007 when the manager insulted me.

I have Parkinson's Disease. One of the sets of symptoms is loss of balance, trembling, and swaying. I would state that loud and clear for the record. On a lighter note, I saw a T-short that was printed with, "I'm not drunk. I have Parkinson's".

The last time I drank was in 1978. The last time a cop said to me, “I smell alcohol?” I said, “Have you been drinking?”

Ai crap. Go to @14:30 for the 30 second wrap up. You're welcome.

In Canada, you are required to provide a roadside screening test for alcohol. No requirement for the officer to detect or suspect alcohol consumption if you are operating (not restricted to driving but being behind the driver's seat) a conveyance.

IN every state I have lived in (NV, AZ, NY) if you refuse a breath test, it is automatic suspension for one year and possible jail time. In each case, a refusal on the road means they get you at the station.

An officer stopped me and 3 other men coming back from a fishing trip. He said I smell alcohol. My reply was "you have a pretty  good nose" I then handed  him a bottle of hand sanitizer 80 % alcohol. He used some, and said have a nice evening, and drove away.😮

I have been stopped several times by local police.   I am handicapped and informed the officer that I was on my way to a restaurant and that I needed food to take with my medication for my handicap.  I also inform the officer that I am a fall risk if I get out of my vehicle.  In all these situations the officer has let me go saying, “Please take care”.  Before I was handicapped, I remember several decades ago going through a known speed trap doing about 62 miles per hour on the freeway where the speed limit was either 55 or 60.  I then noticed a police car with flashing lights in my rear and the police had me stopped within about 400 feet.  Right away this officer said I was going 82 miles per hour and I kept insisting that I was going 62.  This went back and forth about a half dozen times.  I told the officer that he had me stopped in less than 20 seconds. And if I was going 82 it would have taken more than a minute to stop me.   I had no points on my record and he let me go ahead to work without issuing me a ticket.  At that time you hired a special traffic attorney for $100 who downgraded the ticket to a parking ticket with no points and you paid the local city another $100 to $125.

I have been stopped and asked that very question. I told him that not only do I not drink, I  can't. It causes my heart to enter an irregular rhythm, and I have things I want to do before I die. The other one i hear frequently is "do you know how fast you were going?" My answer for that one is, " as fast as you clocked me", lol! Thank you for posting this video, and all of the other ones as well. I always come away with at least one thing I didn't know previously. ❤

8 blocks from my house, there's a VERY long red light at a highway off-ramp. One night, at 2:30 AM, there was NO traffic visible anywhere, and I just got fed up with that light.  After stopping, I looked around, then went thru it.  PULLED OVER!!  Where did that asshole come from?  That was the ONLY time I have ever been asked "Have you been drinking tonight?"  I instantly answered:  "ONE CAN of Dr. Pepper, which I stretched out for 3 HOURS."  Then I complained about that long traffic light, and apoligized.  The officer actually gave me a FRIENDLY warning (this is Camden, NJ-- we have THE MOST POLITE police force in the entire state), and sent me on my way.

I started taking the longer way around to get home from Philly at night after that, to completely by-pass that off-ramp.

I don't have to lie.  I DON'T "DRINK".  EVER.

It's almost like the courts have rigged the system against your constitutional rights in favor of cops who want to trash it.
