Exactly. If the officer was a fan and wanted to cut him some slack he wouldn't have written it up. Probably just issued a nothing to see here move along. If he wasn't a fan he'd make him walk the line and blow.

not that black and white, either or. lot's of factors go into cops decisions behind what they do, top of the list being what they are required to do and covering their own ass however they may have to. cops make determinations of impairment without requiring breathalizers all the time. speculation is not reality.
Yes indeed lots of factors. Including a police officers decision whether or not to have someone take a breathalyzer. Now I think we all realize that the police officers claim that a vehicle has been weaving or that he smells alcohol can most certainly the bullshit. Correct? So if the police officer actually did smell alcohol and refused to perform a breathalyzer it must mean something.not that black and white, either or. lot's of factors go into cops decisions behind what they do, top of the list being what they are required to do and covering their own ass however they may have to. cops make determinations of impairment without requiring breathalizers all the time. speculation is not reality.
It at least proves that everything is not that severely by the book.

not to mention McCown had one of the best qb performances against the Broncos this year.
Browns just get in their own way trying to be too cute.
Turbin is a downhill power runner so by all means run a neat little pitch sweep in overtime.
They are supposed to be a run first team so at the end of regulation with a first down inside the 10 lets run a swing pass to the fullback.
John would have the browns outta that game at halftime.

Police get a report of a driver going at a high rate of speed and driving erratically. When stopped the driver admits to have been drinking earlier and has a smell of alcohol on their person. Since when does a driver in this situation not get a breathalyser test? The officer takes the drivers word he only had a few drinks earlier? Why not take a minute and have the driver blow into a breathalyser and be sure? I heard a judge one time say he would be rich if he had a dollar for every time in a DUI case he heard that phrase in the courtroom of of the defendant saying they only had 2 drinks.

Yes, two beers is probably the go to answer for anyone.
I've been stopped, often in what seems to me, to be bogus situations. Usually because I'm driving home after a gig and would seem I was coming home from a bar. Which I am. But the bullshit excuse the cop gives is that I was weaving and he smells alcohol.
I knew I was leaving a bar and I haven't had a drink all night in at least a couple situations. The officers seemed annoyed when I blew a 0.0.

But "I'm glad we lost" is something that I'd never say personally.

i've smelled like alcohol, had a moving violation and been let go many times based simply upon being honest, so have others i have witnessed firsthand.
where do you and Steve live, Nazi Germany?!? Jeebus, talk about a police state!
there are costs involved with investigating non-issues. the financial costs for the department for one, plus tying up courts with weak cases, overcrowded jails w nowhere to put real criminals in jails full of bad arrests, but most importantly while they're screwing around wasting time with a non-drunk who might blow .01 over there often is a tow involved, then deciding what to do with the other parties, plus pages and pages of paperwork (hours), unpaid court dates on their days off for charges that will probably get dismissed, while they are out there dealing with this non-issue half for their shift, hundreds of real crimes may have been committed.
it's prioritizing for the greater good and i for one think it's a phenomenal thing. there is also the potential for a lawsuit against the officer and the department for jailing a citizen unjustifiably. in JFF's case if he was recognized as a celebrity, knowing how deep his pockets and resources are may have attributed more to his outcome than simple good will or playing favorites.
if you got detained for nothing, there was probably a reason. wrong place at the wrong time is a big one. cops are like everyone else, most don't do more than they have to but if you are out and about when drunks are driving the streets, it's like being in a bad neighborhood alone after dark--you are effectively asking for it. JFF was out at 5:30-6PM btw, near hid gated golf course community, and looking for a wallet BSC girl had just thrown out, babysitting a hostile drunk. i'd believe him too.
you guys sound as if you are directly persecuted in every instance, like the cops have a personal vendetta to bust people for anything. is that what it's like around you? no fucking way would i live in an environment like that, EVER. benefit of the doubt still exists in the world, i'd suggest seeking it out if this is really how you are being treated.

I certainly don't know, but my guess is Johnny is more of a binge drinker than an out-and-out alcoholic. I'm certainly no expert on either.
They are on the radio today saying JFF wasnt even treated for alcohol. They wont say what he was treated for, but it sounds like there source is certain it wasnt booze.

He's just like that asswipe who posts the "im done" videos on youtube week after fucking week. Attention whore is all he is...someone who says I'm done with this team 8 million times but keeps coming back and then hopes for bad things to happen just so they can say "i'm done" again.

Isn't he actually earning money from his videos? As long as he is I doubt he'll bother stopping.

The photo taken in Vegas was pretty damning
That said, alcohol is only going to limit your ability to make the right decision regards your other issues, so he should be avoiding that too.

How anybody can watch those is beyond me. I saw one and it was just incoherent screaming into a cheap camera.

Well when he was in a bathroom with a rolled up dollar bill it seems pretty obvious he was doing something else - cocaine, pills, whatever it may have been.
But whatever he did in rehab is really only his business - not the public's business. But usually you don't selectively treat an addict - you want them to give up dependence to everything - including alcohol. I'm sure some people could stop using narcotics and keep drinking, but in a rehab program they want you to give up all of it usually.

It was a Monday afternoon, so the drinking sounds completely normal. Everybody gets drunk on Monday afternoon.

He has lived up to my expectation 100%. He is what I thought he was and then some. Too soon? I dont think so.
