Bad way to get caught

[cgchad]

I thought I would share an incident that happened to a relative of mine.

Several years ago, my brother was pulled over on the north side of Cincinnati. Apparently he had been drinking.
Basically he swerved while going down the interstate, and an officer pulled him over. As he explained what occurred next;
The officer asked him if he knew why he had been stopped, to which he responded "No sir"
Officer: "I was behind you and noticed you had swerved in traffic a little bit back there, so I wanted to make sure you were OK."
Brother: "Sorry sir, I'm fine, I dropped my cigarette into my lap and was trying to keep from burning myself."
Officer: "Can I ask where your heading this evening?"
Brother: "Yes sir, I was just heading home."
Officer: "Where are you coming from?"
Brother: "Yes sir, I got off work about an hour ago, and stopped to have a beer with my co-workers."
Officer: "How many did you have?"
Brother: "Just one sir."
Officer: "Would you mind submitting to a field sobriety test?"
Brother: "Certainly sir."

The officer ran him through the field tests, and then informed him "Well you don't appear to have any signs of intoxication that would prohibit you from driving. However, I am placing you under arrest."

Brother: "Can I ask what the problem is sir?"

Officer: "Certainly........I am not a sir."

Sorry, I don't buy this version at all.

I think the truth ended with ...." how much did you have to drink ?"

I'm sure the officer was Cincicops ex - partner :-)

I gotta say, I'm not quite sure if this is a real "story" that the OP is telling, or if it's a joke and the thread needs to be moved to the Jokes forum.

Really not a joke. Although it is second hand information. From him to me, then to here. I do know that I don't tend to interject details that were not given to me, nor do I attempt to draw conclusions from facts that are not stated but appear evident.
Some of the former or current coasties on here can relate to that statement if they think about the "Galley exercise" from the "TCT" classes.

Ok, I have been accused of thinking like a cop (which I see as an attribute) but I don't get it. He got arrested for calling him a "sir" was the cop a female? Huh?

[mcsap]

We dont tell people they pass SFST and than arrst them because they mistake our gender. It's called improper/ illegal.

Either your brother exhibited signs that he was DUI or he didn't.
