Breathalysed In Your Own Home

Has this happened to anyone else ? It was all a bit disconcerting I
have to say.
Popped out for a pizza this evening about 5:00pm returned to house and
scoffed it whilst washing the whole thing down with a pint of McEwans.
Sitting there finishing the rest of my drink off the old bill appear
at the door. Oh ho what's all this about then ? Are you owner of car
reg blah blah and were you driving it along the road back from Tesco
in the last hour. Yep that was me. You have been reported on suspicion
of being drunk in charge of it. FFS I've been set up was my immediate
reaction someone's got it in for me I thought. Who was it ? Can't say
blow into this - but I've been drinking in the house that will give a
false positive reading (if you see what I mean). Not if you've only
had a half pint I was told. What if I refuse - we'll arrest you. Shit
no choice there then. Fortunately the reading came back negative. So
who was it reported me - two people apparently. Now don't get me wrong
I wouldn't hesitate to report someone if they were legless and I saw
them get into a car but all this smacks of some do-gooders jumping to
conclusions who don't have much else to think about or, could there be
something more to it (a warning if you like) ? Could they just have
made it up ? As I said all a bit disconcerting.
Just wondering if anyone else has been humiliated in this way. I am
annoyed that I don't have any right to know who the feck reported me
or do I ?
Cheers

Snip

Have you ever driven pi$$ed ?

 

You have no right to know who reported you. This is the society we're
building at the moment.

Should the same ever happen to me I'll point the police at the half
empty bottle of vodka and let them know I've drunk that in the last hour
so whilst they're free to breathalise me they ought to know I've been
drinking heavily *since* I got in.

 

Yes. Have you?

 

Many times.

 

I believe the dibble can count back and work out when you started
drinking? Or have I confused myself?

 

Yep, well the Phorenzic bods can on a blood/piss test anyway

So you produce an empty bottle and say you've polished the contents off
since you got home. And if they back-track properly they come to the
conclusion that you were sober when you got in....

 

But they know the time you were seen driving. You need to be sober then.
Alcohol is assimilated at a reasonably linear rate. You would need to be
still pissed when they test you later...

If I were you I'd STFU (shut the **** up) about this whole episode. If you
weren't pissed driving (as witnessed by 2 people?) then you were obviously
DLAC (driving like a ****).

My bestest ever mate was snuffed out by a 3x over the limit and I have
absolutely no hesitation whatsoever in grassing 'em, snatching their keys or
permanently rendering them incapable of coherent speach.

You're either a troll, or a very misguided silly person.


Babba.
24hrs bottle to throttle

 

"my bestest ever mate" how old are you?

Fucking kids today's attitude to drink-driving absolutely sickens me.

You're having your fucking chains pulled by the state. In 5 years time
you'll be the same about speeding. Wankers.

 

I think he was pissed and meant "my beshtest ever mate".

[Pokes head cautiously above parapet]
At 35 I'm not a kid anymore, but I don't drink and drive, since apart from
it being illegal I also happen to believe that it's a stupid thing to do.
Though I would concur with you were you to point out that the way
drink-driving is handled by our police and judicial systems could be
improved.

Hehe. Nope. Thinking about what might have triggered the whole thing
off I recall feeling something brush past my leg and drop to the
ground as I was about to get into the car. I looked down and noticed
the pin code machine thingy that allows me remote access to servers I
work on lying on the ground. I bent down to pick it up and started
fumbling around four pockets in my jacket to try and discover which
one it may have fell out of. I guess that during this period of
fumbling some wanks with nothing better to do decided to call the old
bill on account of me being unable to <as they thought> find my car
keys and get into my car. I don't supose it helped when I put the
pizza in the boot (on account of the car being new) which is probably
another highly unusal and suspicious manouver.
Oh an as regards heavy drinking in the hour period I queried that with
them. They "have a test" that can establish if you were pissed at the
time you were seen so I wouldn't bother trying it.
Big brother and a vast hoard of Tesco shops are watching lads.... Be
afraid

 

That a mirror you're looking into?

Oh dea,r oh dear

The finest legal minds, guilty even when proved innocent, nice

You would kill drink drivers?

Yes

 

I don't drink and drive these days; mainly because it's illegal. In the
past I have done though, as I would expect have *most* people older than
their mid-30s.

We, as in my peers, all thought nothing of riding/driving when slightly
pissed (4 pints or so) when we were 17. However, we also thought
nothing of speeding. About 10-15 years ago I noticed people in their
early 20s that I worked with had an almost missionary zeal against DD.
The whole public attitude was changed over 10-15 years.

Now they're working on speeding. They'll manage it to; nothing to do
with the police or the judicial system. Before too long there will be
"rat on someone" lines to report speeding motorists too as well as drunk
ones and benefit cheats. Add illegal immigrants, tax dodgers to the
list of 08BENEFITSOCIETY numbers too in about 2 years.

It'll be like an East German nightmare, cameras everywhere, spying on
us. People spying on others and reporting them to the state for deeds
and thought-crime.

 

Welcome to New Britain. Take a seat over there, the proctologist will be
along shortly.
