Snow must cause stupidity

Reminds me of another case of stupididy.



It's a good story and I had to put in all the spaces to keep everyone on edge and make you have to wait to get to the good parts






A guy buys a very nice truck and pays cash. Goes out gets a DUI.






He's DUI and his truck is seized. I think it was a silver F-150 and very nice. I never did get a close look at them, but they are very nice.




(Do you think he'd learn his lesson)






Same person goes out and buys another truck just like it...







He gets popped a 2nd time for DUI. I think the time frame was with in a few weeks.






He paid cash for the 2nd truck also and it gets seized also. Both were seized by the same department.








The only good news of this whole event is that our counties Water Patrol Unit now has two very nice trucks C/O one stupid A$$.




It was told to me that part of the reason he bought the 2nd truck was to hide the fact that his 1st one got taken away.

You can have your car seized for DUI in MN? Remind me not to drive drunk in your state.

We get ice storms here about once a year. The amount of carnage is amazing. Ever watch a 4x4 Tahoe play billiard ball for about 2200 feet? From one retaining wall to another?
I had to close a highway flyover during one couple of years ago, over 2 inches of ice on the roadway, you couldn't even walk up the access ramp. I lost count of the idiots impacting the barriers after 30 or so. :eek: I was thinking of buying into a body repair shop.

If I was an LEO, and was there for that one.. I would have given the location over the MDT's and let other officers know whats going on. Just so they could (if they are able to) come and watch as well. I'd sit in the car with a bag of popcorn and have said "hey yall, watch this one coming..." :D

You're closer to the truth than you think. At that point we just park the patrol cars and watch. There's no way we can respond to anything but injury accidents, and even those are going to have LONG response times.

Our main problem is Joe Doofus waking up, seeing an ice coat so heavy it's pulling trees down, and thinking "Gee maybe I should go to work today". When they call in a wreck we just tell them to come down to the station when it's over and pick up the paperwork.

We killed two in the worst one, (one a wrecker driver) an incredibly low number considering there were something like 3K collisions in 12 hours.:eek:

Nothing gets the blood to racing like taking a flyover and seeing the cars in FRONT of you sliding back down the incline:D

The other night we had some rain, warm temps, and then colder temps turned to snow and ice. It took a few hours for road crews to get out and put down some salt. Meanwhile, I respond to an accident and before I got there, a car failed to make a turn in front of me. I call that one in, get to my destination...(same intersection), while I get the information, another car doesn't make the turn and pops a tire. While I complete the first report 2 other officers show, log story short, a 4th accident happens, nearly wiping out a cop, takes off, short pursuit, hits a tree, runs, ends up arrested, over 18 grams of meth and $3000 cash. Several traffic tickets and a Class X felony for the meth. Should of stayed home and did deliveries the next day.
