The problem being that no one is pulled over for DWI. You get pulled over for some minor traffic violation because the cop SUSPECTS you of DWI. He can’t pull you over for any of those traffic violations though if you’re not in his jurisdiction, and if he does it anyway the DWI is then thrown out since he had no legal reason to pull you over in the first place.

I should have stuck with pre-law instead of IT.
