[lillypad]

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?

[Old Trooper]

i am in california but i heard it on the news or t.v a long time ago. i asked my friend that was a cop and he said yes they have to but nobody is suppose to know that. i just wanted to double check. so you were never told that by anyone?

[lillypad]

are you a police officer? i need an answer from a police officer. i apologize if im not doing this right. my first time

[Joeyd6]

Why do you need a answer from a police officer?

Homework?

[lillypad]

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".

[lillypad]

i still have another question that hasn't been answered either.

No, that's what Taxi's are for. If you call the police to come and take you home, --and they actually respond, it will probably be to take you to the Greybar Motel for a little sobering up.

If you are really interesting in learning what the police are required to do, a good place to state would be California laws and statutes...

A common misconception.

It's actually the fire department which handles that. In New York, demand was so high that they had to create a seperate division to drive drunks home, the Chauffer All Boozers program. They're easily identifiable by the yellow vehicles they operate, as opposed to the bright red trucks of the fire-fighting firemen.

I've heard that its becoming so popular that even sober people are riding in CABs now. Just more proof that firemen are awesome.

'IBAC' is Imputed Blood Alcohol Content. I've most often seen the term used in court cases where BAC testing was unavailable/refused, or in traffic fatality reports.

We aren't a taxi service, so no, here not true. We do not give rides home, rides to detox yes.

Is she hot? Yes.

A guy? No way.

[patchcop]

In Germany you can try to call the police to bring you home after you paid the bill for all the alcoholics you have consumed in the bar.

After the call two nice officers will pick you up, check your personal dates and write a nice report for missusing an emergency phone number. And maybe, they will be so very nice to bring you to a nice state owned hotel with grey iron doors and All Inclusive service. There you can sleep the whole night until you will be able to drive home by yourself.

In fact, the cops have to transport drunks home is the same BS like the hat thing.

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

A common misconception.

It's actually the fire department which handles that.

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