get name, badge number, start filing some paperwork. get the pig in trouble, he deserves it :)

the fuzz was on you like a lollipop!... ha.

In response to the folks who are suggesting lawsuits: it doesn't work that way. If the search and beathalyzer were administered with consent, you've lost your own case (assuming a DUI charge were to go to court). Suing him for deprivation of constitutional rights under 1983 won't work for similar reasons.

I'm with #101--After I got done reading this the first thing I thought was this dude's gotta be a minority. I wouldn't be surprised if this happened in the deep south. I apologize on the behalf of white people..some day the Eurocentrism will wear off and Latinos will take over the world--I can't wait!

HAHAH you're an idiot, you should study up on your constitutional rights! Driving 5mph under the speed limit isn't probable cause for a search.

...If you pass a field sobriety test and a breathalyzer WHY would they handcuff you and search your car?

OK for all you assholes out there who are having a go at the police - just think who the first person you would go running to if you had something stolen. Police officers work really hard trying to make your area a nicer place to live in - so just show some respect because it's a really hard job to do.

Driving under the speed limit can indicate a driver is impaired. So the cop pulls him over and asks him to preform a field sobriety test/breathalyzer. Not only is that legal, it is there JOB! But then we have Mr. OP-roadside attorney. Mr. OP, like all roadside attorneys, thinks he knows the law. Starts getting combative and throwing out terms hes heard on TV like "warrant," "probable cause," and of course "Constitution." The officer tries to calm Mr. OP down and explain what is going on, but OP fails to listen and continues his angry, misguided law-lesson. In order to avoid a confrontation on the side of the road, which could result in serious injury or death to either party, OP is detained. Quit bitching and let the cops do there job.

first off, he doesn't say whether or not he was convicted for anything, or even arrested. And secondly, what lane of traffic was he driving in? Forget those little details? Slow drivers are just as dangerous as fast ones, given that's the only issue.

#83, Watch out when you give legal information on here. Most states have "implied consent" laws, which means when you accept the privilege of driving, you agree to a blood alcohol content test at any time you are behind the wheel. In California, you don't have to take a breathalyzer, you can choose a urine test or a blood test, but both of those require you to be taken to a hospital, which means you'll be arrested on suspicion of drunk driving first.
