[QUOTE="Dale Carlson, post: 601975, member: 56095"] Well, I guess what you're calling a "judgement call", I'm calling an assumption. I can see that a TABC officer or a regular beat cop are going to have some experience in dealing with drunks. I just haven't figured out how they can see the future. I've got a feeling, that of the people who have a problem with these busts, that's what they have a problem with. I especially take issue with giving citations for those who had a DD. What kind of idiocy is that? I've also got a feeling that outside (meaning not a part of) a TABC task force, that regular city/county/state cops aren't going to make these kinds of arrests (unless there's a pretty damn good reason). Y'see, after all of this, we agree on one thing - that the legality of these arrests is going to be decided by a judge. I think he/she is going to throw most of these arrests out. And, cops being like most folks (even welders) (sorry, I couldn't resist), want to do a good job at their job. Having arrests thrown out of court for a lack of PROBABLE CAUSE, some REASONABLE DOUBT, and because of an inherent PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE, not only waste's the cop's time, it makes them look bad, and makes them feel bad. My bottom line: Legal or not, this is wrong on many levels (but you might of figured out that was where I stood). [/QUOTE]
