Dragnet, why won’t you say what YOU do for a living since you feel like back-seat driving my career?

Maybe you are un/underemployed?

The gentleman equates checkpoint stoppage with manditory, periodic, random alcohol testing of civilian auto operators.....and simply asks, “How would YOU like it, officer!”

“Also, if you have binge drank more than once, you are an alcoholic.”

Crap. Outright BS.

I didn't realize, until now, that everyone in my town is an alcoholic. So are all the people with whom I've ever worked for the past 45 years.

I never discuss what I do for a living...But I do enjoy sitting on my porch shooting beer cans with my BB gun.

Hmmm....Academy graduation night..and the first end of a shift at the pub with the lads would automatically qualify every cop. Guilty. [do I qualify for SSDI?]

For the first time tonight, you are being honest.

Don’t backseat drive, that’s all.

Then it hits me...

You're seemingly kinda new, judging from the language used in that last reply. [you seem to take yourself way too seriously...FNG? Although some guys never leave it behind.]

And that makes me wonder if your peeing in the cup has something to do with your probationary period?

Don’t forget: And some posers who have never worked in law enforcement but pretend like they are the world’s next superheroes.

I just did. I'm betting that your peeing in the cup, periodically, random selection, is manditory for probationary officers. If it were a department policy beyond that stage, you'd have said so, right from the git.

I call!

The most I’ve ever had in one night was when I was 18, December 28th 2003. I had minor alcohol poisoning; my stomach felt like a small bomb went off in it for 3 days after that night.

Binge drinking serves absolutely no purpose and is harmful to a person’s health.

You just busted your wad. LOL. You showed your hand big-time. You’ve never been in law enforcement.

I am a law enforcement officer. Are you/have you ever been?

First you say he has never been, then you ask if he has?

I was being polite. But I’m glad you are still here, what with your secretive profession but abundant, dazzling advice.

It’s not a pleasant experience. That definitely wasn’t the only time I got sick from drinking. Although, it was my first time drinking.
