[quote=“airhead,post:20,topic:36686"”] If all my years of watching Cops has taught me anything, they never actually say no, they just confuse the stupid people and never really give a straight answer. [/quote] He is right. If you ask a cop if he is a cop, he can not say no. I know from workin in the bar, if cops come in or i think even state liquor authority people come in, you can ask them if they are cops or with the SLA and they have to say yes. You can even piss them off and expose them. ---

refusal to a breathalizer is bad. If you take the test and get charged with dwi more than likely if it is your first or second time they will just lower it to a dwai which is a traffic violation not a crime suspended lisence for a bit and thats about it and a hefty fine. refusal to do so automatic revocation for 6 months depending on how the dmv feels they may make you take your written and driver test again after your revocation and you still have to pay a shit load of fines ---

entrapment is when a cop makes an illegal offer to good to refuse and makes someone not looking to commit a crime commit one so they can make an arrest. like if your walking down the street and an undercover officer comes up and offers you a million dollars to sleep with them you cant be arrested for prostitution. ---

In the United States, widespread belief in the existence of laws against driving barefoot has been debunked as an urban legend.[9] Members of the Society for Barefoot Living wrote letters to the highway patrols of all 50 states and were told by officials in each state that driving barefoot was not illegal. > **[Barefoot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barefoot)** > > Barefoot is the most common term for the state of not wearing any footwear. > Wearing footwear is an exclusively human characteristic, however some animals held by humans are also issued with footwear, such as horses and, more rarely dogs and cats. There are health benefits and some risks associated with going barefoot. Footwear provides protection from cuts, abrasions, bruises, and impacts from objects on the ground or the ground texture itself, as well as from frost or heat burns, and parasites... ---

Under the 2004-05 budget approved by lawmakers in August, municipalities may no longer keep the fines from traffic convictions that have been pleaded down to non-moving violations. The change, effective immediately, is projected to cost local governments an estimated $12 million to $22.8 million a year. … **[http://www.lib.jjay.cuny.edu/len/2004/09/](http://www.lib.jjay.cuny.edu/len/2004/09/)** ---

[quote=“boxxa”"] A few of us were talking at work about common police thing that people tell you are illegal but no one ever really knows for sure. Anyone hear of these and know which ones are true? 1. It is illegal to drive without a shirt and/or shoes 2. If you are drunk and get pulled over, your best chance is to deny the breathalyser and take the charge. I guess the logic behind this one is that in court, all the evidence on your record is that you denied it so its looked lighter on your record. [/quote] Refuse as long as you can, string them along while your liver does its’ magic. Just before they give up trying to scare you into it, consent. That way, with any luck and a good liver your level will have come down considerably. That’s what lawyers do when they get caught. Another ploy is to fake some illness or injury. Harder to pull off but may buy some time if you can get away with it. ---
