Police received a 911 call after a McDonald’s drive-thru customer in Vero Beach complained of a driver behind her repeatedly bumping her car.
Indian River County sheriff’s deputies found Stevens still behind the wheel, an open bottle of booze stuffed in a paper bag on the seat next to him, according to the affidavit.
Deputies said Stevens smelled of alcohol and told them he was feeling “pretty good.”
Stevens, who said he has never had a Florida driver’s license, allegedly told deputies that he’d only sip Jim Beam at “stop signs.”
According to the affidavit, “He further explained that he was not drinking while the car was moving and only when he stopped for stop signs and traffic signals.”

So, in other words, no “criminal intent”.
Oh give the guy a break for creativity.
Yeah, at least he wasn’t driving distracted.
Do states give honorary drivers licenses like universities give honorary degrees?
Dude is cutting down on the booze. How many stop signs are there?
At least you have to admit that.
A drunk will blow through a stop sign like it isn’t even there. On the other hand, somebody who is stoned will stop and wait for the sign to change.
I’m still waiting for a lawyer to use the Hillary defense for their client.
So you can't take his license away because he never had one and you can't arrest him for DUI because he only drank while stopped for traffic signals.
I will bet Johnny Cochran could get this guy off if he wasn't already dead.
Honorary driver’s licenses.
His mistake: say “Officer what are you trying to do, get me to answer something about being an immigrant. Didn’t you read your orders to clam up about sanctuary city questions. That means I can drive without a FL license and if I feel like it they’ll issue me one and a voter’s ID card, right?”
Officer: “You’re confusing Florida with California.”
Driver: “Alright, alright. Here’s my race card. Now back off.”
Officer: “Sorry I stopped you. Please don’t sue me.”

Lee Marvin was so great. Thanks for the memory.
I remind people of his M Squad role with my slightly altered version of his character name on FR.
See my profile.. :)
Really , once you get close enough to home, you’ll be off the road before it fully hits.

Mensa prank?
.
Was that wrong?
What a shame this wasn’t reported by the morning Team at KTLA. Chris and Henry would have had me in stitches.
Here is some of their better work.
You’d never know they work in a major market.
(Still pretty funny)
