Donut pass Go

By Anonymous - 22/11/2010 06:26 - United States

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.

sue the man. cops are still supposed to follow the amendments, which check points break the 5 th yet no one wants to say a word. roll up your window and call the AARP

The US Supreme Court has ruled that sobriety checkpoints are permissible under the Constitution. Once they stop you, it's not hard to find an excuse to detain you further or search your vehicle. Having reason to doubt your sobriety leaves a lot to the cop's judgment. There are many arcane traffic laws that most people break, so a cop likely won't have trouble charging you with something or other. Also, most traffic courts will take the word of a cop over yours any day, and you can bet that the cop's buddies will back him up. The best defense is not to annoy the police. Remember, cops are people too. If you piss them off, expect them to find some way to ruin your day. Any cop joke involving doughnuts or the word "pig" is a good way get on an officer's bad side.

the sad part here is 3 trucks with drugs probably came through while "tough cop" had to be a douche. i learned from watching my dad get arrested... cops just dont take jokes the right way.

they need a search warrant or ur consent so u can sue them

your supposed to pick them up and say "want some?"

You should have offered him a doughnut, & you could have been drunk off your ass & got let go. in fact, I might just keep doughnuts in my car after the 3 speeding tickets on my commute to work.

actually they don't need a reason to search your car
