Started off with tagging a couple speeders..kinda bread and butter...some people dont enjoy it but I dont mind at all...its just straight forward and simple...I like that.
Got 2 suspended drivers. I like these cause they are simple and they count as an arrest. Got one guy that I knew was suspended...saw his car and ran him via computer and sure enough he was suspended.
Got another gal who was suspended coming out of a local known drug area. I couldnt get my computer to work and she was way down the road by the time it came back I saw that she was suspended. She was a stripper and man did NOT look good...she has had alot of years that have not been kind to her I dont know how she stays in that profession and actually makes money. I thought they were supposed to make alot of money as well but apparently she snorts it all up her nose. Had the drug dog run through her car and the dog indicated. Amazing dog he hit on a small plastic baggie (about 1 inch square) that had a little bit of residue in it. We found her secret stash compartment in her car but it was empty we didnt tell her we found that so next time if we see her we will know where to look. Tried to get her to "work" meaning to flip on a bigger fish but she wouldnt play ball so she got the full suspended charge.
DUI. Stopped a car that was weaving a little bit. She had all kind of indicators of a typical drunk. You give them divided attention tests at the car like asking them small talk questions (where ya goin, where ya coming from sort of thing) while they try and find there license. Drunks can only do one thing at a time and sure enough every time I asked her a question she would stop looking for her license and look right at me to answer or ask "what"?. Car reaked of Alcohol. She was driving her friends home...she was the least blasted of all three of them so I guess they thought that was the safest thing to do. She was only 18 years old and didnt even have a drivers license..she admitted to me later that she had used a fake ID to get into a bar in a city far away...Her friend was on her 21 run and was completely blasted when i walked up to the car she (in the back seat) had her dress down fully exposing herself cause she had leaned out the back door to puke her guts out.
Ran the field sobriety tests on the driver...I hate doing those things cause there are so many things that you have to be very specific about as far as instructions etc...she was hammered...she refused to blow into my portable breath testing machine. I arrested her for DUI cause you dont need much when its a minor...only a .02...got her to the BAC facility (the official blow test) and she lawyered up real quick...got her lawyer on the phone. There are several places they have to sign as your going through the forms and its not an admission of guilt just a receipt of acknowledgement that I read them certain legal items as far as constitutional rights etc and man she was so blasted she kept stalling thinking that her alcohol level would go down i'm sure...tactic doesnt work it takes hours to matabalize alcohol. I had to call and wake up the lawyer like 3 times cause she kept saying she didnt understand......lord almighty I lost my patience with that. She finally blew into the thing....wasted over double the legal limit for an adult and 8 times the legal limit for a minor.....wuuufta.
Then she started crying and crying and crying...trauma drama for sure. Spent about 4 hours between the processing and all the paperwork for the report....DUI is equal to failing to transfer a vehicle license title within 45 days which takes about 2 minutes to write the report...gotta love DUI defense attorneys that have made it that way....sigh.
All and all great night...3 arrests. Not bad at all...I'll take it!
plodding on!
