Donut pass Go

Today, I came through a DUI checkpoint. The trooper noticed some donuts I had. He asked, "Are those donuts?" Jokingly, I replied, "Yes. Why? Are you going to confiscate them?" He didn't see the humor and pulled me off to the side to have a team search my truck. FML

They can't search it without probable cause. Donuts do not count as probable cause no matter how much they want them to.

making cop jokes at a cop may not have been the best idea.

DUI is a money making machine "DUIs account for about one-third of all criminal court cases. http://www.atbail.com/

Really? And as evidence you give a link to a bail bondsman? DUI arrests take lethal weapons off the street. As a trauma surgeon I've seen hundreds of drunk drivers and the victims of their insane actions. Don't try to lecture me on the police inconveniencing you by taking 10 minutes of your precious Saturday night at a sobriety checkpoint. If they only net one drunk asshole, it's a safer night for everyone.

If DUI accounts for one third of criminal court cases, then maybe the random testing is a good thing, ya think? If you don't want to go to court for DUI, don't drink and drive! It's not like the cops are infringing on your 4634th Amendment right to drive around drunk and kill people. The introduction of random breath testing and hard-core public awareness campaigns in Australia reduced alcohol related car crashes by half. There are a lot of people alive today directly as a result of this policy.

never joke with border people, the government turns them into assholes

you didnt have to consent to their search you know.

Go to the station and file a complaint, BUT make sure to also send a couple registered letters of it to the mayor & chief of police.

awesome! I would have made the same joke!! and I would also expect to be "selected".

doesn't he need your permission to search your vehicle without probable cause? I mean I probably would have let him too unless I had my 'medicine' in the car. but still.

ydi for thinking "hey it's a checkpoint! let's insult the cop. I'm sure he will just laugh and let us pass."
