Ok, in my whole newfound freedom/singleness...I went out last night with a group of friends.
Needless to say, I'm 20 and it was a Friday night...of course I was hammered.
In a nutshell, we left the party and my friend was driving us home. She proooooobably shouldn't have been driving if you want to get technical, but she was near sober. I am extremely anti-drunk driving, and I felt that she was equipped enough to get us safely home.
So, 4 friends and I drive home. We get pulled over by a cop, she gets a DUI and is taken off...I still haven't talked to her. The rest of us get handcuffed and put in cop cars. I'm riding in the cop car with my friend Val, and she's sitting there complaining about guys to the cop and won't shut the up. He brings us to DETOX, but realizes she's too rowdy when she starts arguing with him. Therefore, I'm by myself at DETOX, and she goes to the drunk tank. Haven't talked to her yet, or my other 2 friends that were in the car.
So the deal with DETOX is that you have to blow a .05 to leave. THIS PLACE IS TWO MOTHERING BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY APARTMENT!!!! I don't own a car so there's no threat of me driving drunk if they let me go...but noooooo, I had to stay there all night, chugging water to sober up.
Ugh, this country is so flawed. I understand DUI's, but to imprison me for the night when I live so close is retarded. Now they are going to inform my school of my citation, and my uni has a "three strikes you're out" policy.
the pooooooolice.
Well, the night wasn't a total loss. I made out with my friend that I've been crushing on hardcore for almost two years. Yayyyyy.
So, how was everyone else's night? |

In all honesty it was a good move for them to make you sober up before you went home. Don't bash the popo over it. I've had it done to me a few times and it's not a bad thing.
1- Your friends fault, she wasn't sober
2-that does kinda suck you lived THAT close
3-So what, they held you over night to sober up, at least you know got home safe.
Kudos for the making out part. |

There's one other ed up part:
When we first got pulled over, and after the cops gave my friend (whom was driving) a sobriety test, they asked all of us if we could drive the car home. We all were truthful and said no. They then said, "well just to check, can you take breathalizers?".
I looked at the cop and said, "if I take this, and I blow over the legal limit, will I get a citation?".
He said, "no".
Once again, the police. Once I realized I was getting in trouble I started in on him...no offense to anyone that has ties to a cop...but you must be a pretty ed up control freak to become one. Most of them DO NOT better the community, they write out citations left and right. I guess they got picked on too much when they were kids...
The alcohol laws in our country are SO STUPID...yeah real effective...seeing as it's Saturday night later and I'm getting faced. :p |

I just think it's rediculous to give a 20 year old (without a car) a drinking citation yet I can get killed in war, rack up thousands of dollars in credit card debt, of a 60 year old man if I wanted to (...I don't). This country has such a double standard. |
