Several times I have had the occasion to leave a store and when I go to drive off, here are about three of the citys finest blocking me and when they come to my window, they ask if I've been drinking? Then they say how they can sure smell it. I pass their tests and blow nothing but zero. Why do they presume I am drinking when they dont even know me? I take offense that they say they can smell it on me when I am a teetotaler...Are they all so bored they are dying to cage a REALLLY HORRIBLE CRIMINAL (DUI? Fine, then leave me alone and go find a drunk. I am pissed off at their tactless violations and torts. and after humiliating me in public for about twenty minutes they let me go... Why cant I send them a bill for my time? they get worked up over prank 911 calls and fine you for taking their time, but when they abuse their power and take your time it is different.. Which leads me to believe the Rolling Stones were absolutely right to have the Hells Angels police their concert long ago.

Please explain why. For me, Its so bad, I'd vote for an Actor over the real canidates... Thompson. I was considering Obama, but I personally feel like he lied about the whole politics of hope. Hillary is the one Canidate I would never vote for, I just don't like her, she has an attitude problem that matches Bushes. One other person on the do not vote list: Rudy. Anybody who's own kids aren't voting for him.... more than a little scary.

ok, i was 18 and just moved back to my hometown where i was always used to crossing the street anyway, but they had a new stop light at the corner. there were no cars coming so i stepped off the curb. when i did, a police car stopped in the intersection in front of me and was going to make a right hand turn. i didn't want to block him from making his turn, so i stepped back on the curb. he then motioned me on to cross. so i crossed. he pulled his car over, got out and got my id from me and gave me a ticket. how ethical do you think that was? i didn't fight the ticket i paid it. this was in Los Angeles several years ago and the ticket cost me $110

Would the police, while in the process of fingerprinting and taking the requisite mug shot, be surprised to find a tattoo on Hillary? Gangland ink that illustrates her allegiance to the human smuggling Snakeheads?

Take into account that Bill, Albert, and Hillary herself sold the sea-port at Long Beach to an entity that is basically a front for the People's Liberation Army of China back in the '90s. And when this fact is compounded with all the shady campaign contributions Hillary receives from dubious sources located in San Fran's China Town, would it then be a stretch to think Hillary's coffers are brimming with Triad generated funds?

Why is this ok? I don't think it's right to call any military soldier that, no matter what he thinks. I have a friend in Iraq right now and I think it's disrespectful.

I'm thrilled, that was absolutely ridiculous. The guys cleaners lost his pants and he sued for 54 mill. They offered him $11,000 to drop the case and he refused it. Just this week he was fired from his judge job as lawyer advisor or something like that. Are you happy he got fired? I am thrilled. Somone who is that crazy and unreasonable and lacks common sense that much should not be involved with the law system at all.

My dad said that if I decide to leave at 18, which I have assured him I will, he can still call the police to find out where I am just to "check up on" me. Even if I have made it known I never want to see him again and have no intention of telling him where I'm going. Can the cops actually come and search for me, then tell him where I'm at?? This doesn't sound right to me. I'd cry. My father is a creep.

Thank you so much for your time.

don't get me wrong it was a bad day for many people. BUT america has killed over a Million people in iraq, and almost more soldiers have died there than people who died in the trade center, and thousands of soldiers and civilian afghanistans, what makes you think that 9/11 is worse than all of these atrocities (if not you then most of the u.s) ? do you think that the life of someone in america is more important than the life of someone in iraq ? because if you do then i gotta tell you, if you visit a graveyard in america, and one in iraq, you will see they're not very different, both are filled with darkness and sadness, the agony of crying mothers, fathers, wives, haunted by the memories of those who have left them.. so what gives ? why is 9/11 talked about almost every day as if it's the worst thing in the world, when it doesn't even compare to some of the things we've seen in these past few years ?

I've been seeing it more and more on here lately, and it is really starting to bug me. And this seems to some from those who call others intolerant. Yet I just got done reading several answers saying that they would do away with religion one way or another. The reason this bugs me is because I'm Roman Catholic, but I have plenty of Atheist friends, they don't say anything close to this, and actually respect others for their beliefs. And for some reason, I get the feeling that some of those people actually think that Communism is the way to go.

My husband and I were driving through an intersection and a guy ran a red light and almost ran into us. Thank god we just got new brakes and we barely avoided hitting him. At the next red light my husband caught up to him, parked the car beside him and went out of the car. He wasn't sure if he had any damage so he wasn't going to let the guy get away. He left the door open, went up to the guy's window, and told him he ran a red light and almost hit us and what was he thinking etc. The guy just looked at him and listened. All of a sudden he back up his car and then drove it right into the open door. He then backed up again & repeated, causing the door to bend. He then ran up the street going the wrong way. I got the plate number, called the police, filed a report. I highly doubt they will find the guy since there were no injuries & he has Florida plates & we're in NYC.
Anything else I could do to get this guy caught?
Can my insurance help if I only have liability coverage?

Okay, I just answered a question about DUI's on here and it brought a rumor I had heard to mind. I heard to carry around a bottle of hard liquore in your car. If you ever wind up getting pulled over and have been drinking immediatley get outta the car before the cop can approach you. Be very obvoius about doig this and take the UNOPENED bottle, open it and start chugging it. If this would work it probably only would if the cop had a dashboard cam as otherwise he could lie but from what I have heard there is then no way for the cop to prove you were not sober before you drank the bottle in front of him. You'll probably still get arrested for drinking in public or something like that but it's better than a DUI. Any truth to this? Also, I don't drink and drive and am not looking for a free pass so don't lecture me as I don't need a lecture. I was just curious if this was true or not. As ridiculous as it sounds it seems to make sense.

Enough is enough, if NIMBYs won't like the aesthetics of oil rigs, offshore tidal marine or wind turbines, why don't they pay the difference in energy costs to everyone else caused by this shortage? Higher energy costs will cause inflation and tank our economy, that's more important than ruining someone's view from their beach house? Give your elected officials what for on this. Nuke doesn't have to be the answer. This is the same fiasco Carter got us into, crying shortage yet stopping any new projects for enviromental reasons. It is a VITAL neccesity for national security and prosperity to tap into and refine federal reserves, if only to supply government stockpiles and uses of oil, it would free up that much more for public consumption. That means drill offshore or in the artic, and build more refineries in different locations instead of where they all get shut down by one hurricane, accident or terrorist attack.
