cops have to take drunks home?

[patchcop]

Shhh! The hat thing is true I tell you! :D

You're a supervisor, aren't you?????:D;)

[GoDirectly2Jail]

The funny thing, is that I actually am a supervisor! :eek:

[WellAdvised]

is it true that if someone goes to a bar and gets drunk and does not want to drink and drive they can call the police and they have to take you home?

If they are more senior in rank only.

[phantasm]

If you're intoxicated, and I encounter you, 3 options, leave on your own, go to the hospital in an ambulance, go to jail in a police car.

[mcsap]

I'll consider taking ANY drunk home ...AFTER they are arrested.

[Joeyd6]

That's why FF's have the larger trucks. More room to cart drunks around all night. :rolleyes:

LMAO!

I'm in CA and I can say I did drive one drunk home. Of course, I had towed off her car and taken her friend to jail, but I couldn't just leave her on the freeway.

Generally, if someone is so drunk they can't find their way home, I find them a ride to sober up for the night... at the county jail.

[drummer-eman]

that's why i am on here. am i in the wrong section? it says on the home page "ask a real police officer a question".

And I believe it also says in bright red Only real cops answer in Ask a Cop"
or someting like that...

If it says VERIFIED LEO in blue above our name, we are just that. VERIFIED AND REAL

Well, I don't agree with that. I'm verfied but I'm not real. I mean...what is real...

if you swallow the red pill......


if you swallow the blue pill......


And for crissakes, don't toke on the pointy cigarette!

I am paid to enforce state law, and nowhere in the Penal code does it say that I have to provide rides for drunks. If you want or need a ride home, call Yellow Cab, because if I get dispatched, the only ride your going to get is to the same place everyone else is going to take you. Jail, but i won't run the meter on the way down there, the ride will be compliments of me.

[Ispbear]

To try to be nice , I have heard of a few departments on special nights such as, New Years eve and Saint Patrick's day have stated that the police will give people a ride home. It was an backward attempt at PR to try to reduce drunk driving. Don't agree with it, but have heard of it. But this was only on special nights. If you call your local police and tell them your drunk and need a ride, mostly likely they will show up and give you a ride to the local station after arresting you for public intoxication.

I sold my taxi medallion on eBay, so the only way I'm taking you home is if you reside at the county hotel.

To answer your other question........

ibac is a brand new product from Apple. It is a consumer model portable breath test/mp3 player. Available next summer in 15 fashionable colors.

















:D

For me, it depends. If I encounter a drunk who isn't an idiot, and may have spent too much on drinks to catch a cab but wasn't stupid enough to get behind the wheel, I may. Depending on how far he/she lives. If it's closer to the person's house than it is to the jail, I'll drop them off at home as long as they are polite and not idiots.

Drunks acting like idiots or people who have had WAY too much to drink go to lock up
