“””after a random stop by Connecticut police as he was driving his pickup truck through a checkpoint in East Haven, Conn., Friday night””””
Was he in East Haven or East Germany? The jackbooted thugs have no business setting up random checkpoints.
Not to minimalize a DUI, but we do have rights.
Hey, it’a an old joke.
Q: What’s the definition of a libertarian?
A: A Republican who likes to get high.
Poor slob.
He should immediately resign (oh and who cares if the democrats don’t resign). I cannot condone drinking and driving in today’s environment when it is everywhere “don’t drink and drive.” He has way than enough money to pay for a cab or get a driver for those days he wants to get drunk. And what about drugs? Really? In this day and age? I guess being that he is 50 years old he grew up in that corrupt time of sex and drugs the 70’s. Regardless of what he does, he needs immediate HELP!!!
“While confident I was a safe and sober operator, trace evidence of marijuana was discovered, and I was charged with operating under the influence, a charge I vehemently deny,” he said.
He should have known he was an antfarm under the magnifying glass. No excuse for this.
Boot his ass out.
Not to minimalize a DUI, but we do have rights.
Your right. We have a right to not be on the road with an idiot who is drunk. I am sick of people advocating for the bad people. This guy is trash and should be treated as such. We have breathalyzers that we have to do before coming on bases in the military. I think it should be for all Americans. What person wants to drive on the roads with drunks?????
Lessen the chances of interaction with the police somewhat.
Then again, the cops might shoot you if you have weed at your house..
like I asked, wheres the probable cause?
.[when] I entered a sobriety checkpoint conducted by local police. It appeared that all vehicles were being stopped and I was detained as well.
He went through a sobriety checkpoint where they were stopping all cars and ensuring that idiots were not drunk and driving.....they found at least one that night. That is all the probable cause they need. Thank God he did not kill someone.
Hard to pick the most corrupt political Machine in the North East..
...good thing he wasn’t arrested in a mooslim land. You know like one of those places we brought “democracy” to -—
Sobriety checkpoints are unconstitutional and those that support them are traitors to this country and all those who have died for our freedoms.
Anybody notice that the first two words of the article were “House Republican”?
“Sobriety checkpoints are unconstitutional and those that support them are traitors to this country and all those who have died for our freedoms.”
They are only unconstitutional if they entrap high numbers of minorities or illegal aliens.
A subsequent Breathalyzer test at the station showed that I was well below the legal limit of .08
Sounds like his crime was driving while Republican
He must be from the libertarian wing of the GOP.
