r.e. DUI enforcement, I'm curious why police do not just sit outside a bar and watch people slosh into their cars, then pull them over for it right after they drive off (like they do for drug sales) - is this just social/financial pressure from the bars or the chamber of commerce, or is there a procedural/legal issue?

To add to the DUI topic, if you venture into a small(er) city with nothing going on (…like Fullerton, California or Hermosa Beach, California), you’ll observe exactly what I’m talking about. Because overall crime is low, the cops park out in front of the bars or along the side streets just waiting for the inebriated to enter their vehicles.

Will you be getting any BMW M2s or any BMW for that matter to drive as a police car like in Germany to chase any potential offenders?
I know in Europe it's quite commonly used. Last edited by wizardofOz; Yesterday at 02:19 PM.. |

Never! You have to remember that BMW and Mercedes cars are utilized differently in Europe. Here they are largely mid-level luxury cars. Overseas they are used as taxis, etc. We will forever use Ford and Chevy cars and trucks. |

In some places where this is common, the bar's patrons coordinate a 100% sober driver to go out around closing time and attract the attention of the waiting cop so the others get away clean while the officer is distracted chasing the decoy rabbit.....

It could be worse, like a J3 Cub taking off out of LAX! Cub 941, climb to 1,500 if able and notify the next shift's controllers when completed.....

I remember going to Denmark in the 90s. Saw a Ford dealership as we walked to the bus line (SO much easier than driving) A brand new GAS Escort was going for something like $60,000. Merc diesel was about 28,000, and that's what all the taxis were. Something about 35MPG, and petrol at $4/LITER

Or trying to keep the jets (unless it's a BA46 ) behind a DC3! Need like 15miles behind him from the OM (about 5 miles out) to exiting the runway! I never minded too much the slow departures; I could always get them turned out of the way.
