If the good cops outnumbered the bad cops, that side of the blue line would be self cleaning.

I'm certain that "Good Cops" do in fact outnumber the "Bad Cops" but just like society at large the "Good" no longer "Take out the Trash" like they used to. Hence even the issue with "Bad Cops". The "Good Citizens" should have long ago cleaned house and eliminated the corrupt politicians, judges and administrators that are the fertilizer for all the BS... But since they didn't and now no longer have momentum to do so.. we have our current society.
In addition, let's say the "Good Cops" do decide to "Clean House"... Can they 100% count that the public and the politicians / administrators / judges that the Public puts in places / allows would be on their side & not act against them?
We have it backwards these days. Don't deal with the foot solders when you should be dealing with those that send the orders.
The bad thing is, those that send the orders apparently do the hiring and firing of the foot soldiers. They make sure they hire like minded jackboots to do their bidding. Those in power and "authority" don't like to hire anyone that asks too much questions or anyone that comes across as morally or intellectually superior for fear of losing their own jobs.
We have an open house on New Years Eve. Invite a lot of people. You can come for a drink or stay for hours.
My wife and I supply the food for the whole evening...everything from appetizers to a full on meal with dessert. This year we had 5 appetizers, 18 pounds of brisket (braised not smoked as it is too cold.), scalloped potatoes, large salad and baked asparagus with Parmesan. I supply a champagne toast at midnight. We had over 50 people come to visit. We had 22 stay for dinner. Guests bring their beverage of choice.
We do this because I don't want to drive on this night. It is amateur hour out there. Even in our small town. Police are out in force. I just as soon be safe and sound in my own house. If you come to our party, the only rule is enjoy but don't expect us to let you drive if you are intoxicated. I can't force you not to but I won't EVER have you back as a guest either and I may turn you in for your own good.
We never have an issue with anyone drunk trying to drive. People tend to be reasonable

I believe diplomatic immunity only applies to accredited diplomats from foreign nations NOT congressmen.
The irony I see is guys complaining about cops enforcing laws, but then say that they won’t vote and stay home election night.
I place this shit squarely on the elders. The baby boomers. I was born in 78’ and I have three young children. I vote and worry about my children’s future because there are armchair commandos who stay at home and give zero fucks. And have given no thought to since the 60’s.
A big Fuck You from me.
I hope you die before it’s gets real.

Defensive driving is a way of life.
No reason to fuck with someone obeying all traffic laws. Check your lights, keep your tires and windows in good condition, and keep your insurance and registration up to date. Use your fucking blinkers and come to a complete stop at stop signs, don't run stale yellows, that's an invitation to get t boned. Look both ways before entering an intersection. Follow through on your commitments and don't cross solid lines. Maintain 360* situational awareness.
Checkpoints are fucking stupid. Don't consent.
One of the biggest piles of shit is a dude going to jail because a hysterical woman rear ended him at a stop light and he happened to have kicked back a few at a restaurant before heading home.
That happens fairly often down here. Situational awareness is no joke.
Life is dangerous. You can get rid of all the drugs and alcohol in the world and still get run over by a moron.
Don't give up your freedom because you're too fucking scared to live in a world that will always be dangerous no matter what you do.

I agree with this, but I'm curious at what point you think someone can be considered "drunk", and do you feel the same way about sleepy truckers, crying women, etc? I do.
0.0801% BAC ain't it for me. Even 0.12% BAC in some people doesn't noticeably impair them.
It's pretty much universal, however, that when you push 0.2% BAC things start to get dangerously sloppy, and it's at that point when a person can't drive flawlessly that they should not drive at all, drunk, high, angry, sad, sleepy, sick, or otherwise.
I don't personally think it's a matter of WHAT is making you a shit driver, there are shit drivers that are stone cold sober and feel great, and those motherfuckers have no business being on the road. I think it's a matter of shit vs non-shit drivers.
I used to do 130 miles round-trip every day for 5 years in Houston. I stopped counting how many times an 18 wheeler decided to try to change lanes in to me, idiots that don't know where they're going decided to re-enter the freeway across solid white lines rather than honor their commitment to exit and do an u-turn nearly side-swiping a texting fucktard, dumbfucks in a hurry doing 30+ the speed limit weaving through traffic like it's a damn nascar track nearly taking out an inattentive twat that didn't check the rear-view before trying to change lanes to get around a lawn care truck doing 10 under, etc. etc. etc. almost on a daily fuckin' basis.
BAD DRIVING is the problem, in my opinion.
Absolutely agree shitty drivers are every bit as big of a problem as drunk drivers. I would totally back a mandatory reaction time ability for licensing as well as a present capability compared to baseline metric to be performed on the road in the event someone appears impaired, that way it also is inclusive of high driving.
And even me who is a prior professional drunk, still known to knock a beer or three once off work, .08 BAC to me is completely acceptable as a threshold. Get one of those testing machines, luckily my lady has one for work (doing substance abuse counseling) and I've played the game of how I feel at what level. There is no way I would feel capable of competently driving at .08, and I've done some pretty crazy shit in my life.
I have an absolute rule, I never drink even one drink and drive afterwards. I run a mandatory 8 hour post drink rule before driving. Maybe others don't have as much to lose with a DUI, I would absolutely lose my job over one, and I definitely couldn't live with myself if I fucked up and killed someone while drinking and driving. And by that, I mean I would probably kill myself just as I encourage anyone else who kills an innocent life while drunk to do the same.
I have zero sympathy, only pure rage for drunk drivers.

In your "pure rage" have you determined what is actually "drunk" and what actually constitutes "drunk" according to your own standards?
Do you have a clearly defined, clearly explainable firm limit that can clearly be measured & doesn't change from whim to whim of politicians?
So you say the current a bit overly conservative .08 level is "completely acceptable" to you as the threshold to get all about trying to destroy somebody's life over (regardless of if they actually caused anyone harm or not) something you don't like or kill them etc...
What about the states who aren't getting enough revenue and are now pushing to make "drunk" a .05 standard instead... which is well lower than the current nationally accepted standards & well below what most people can safely drive at.
Are you now also great overnight making what used to be perfectly fine now subject to any number of super draconian punishments and destroying lives permanently over it at that level?
If you say yes to that, is there any stop or will you get down to wanting to destroy lives and and throw people in jail for life over basically natural body levels of alcohol from digestion if you can find a way to measure it?
(You may think that's a joke, but it's actually based on real life from what some stupid Arab countries were doing when they got their new passenger drug detecting machines from the west that could detect basically the amount of cocaine on your clothes that somebody rubbing a $20 bill across it would leave... Well the machine gave a number that was above absolute zero... so jail for life for you...)
Do you actually think it's in any way just or fair, the stupid zealot laws they pass where even if you are sitting stopped at a stop light and some idiot texting on their cell phone slams into the back of you, if they can say you were "drunk" then it's all your fault even though it is ACTUALLY 100% the OTHER parties fault... but it's a nice feel good law by idiots....
Or states where if you are asleep in your car in the parking lot with the engine off, trying to sleep because you can't drive but yet somehow you are guilty of "drunk driving" (Or does actual reality and justice not matter when it's a pet thing somebody hates).
Drunk driving is way too often used as an excuse, just like drugs where the government gets you to happily hand over all your constitutional liberties, freedoms and due process of law in exchange for promising to be really mean, tough and draconian with somebody who does something you are all up in arms about. They even promise to hand out super harsh punishments even if the other parties actually haven't harmed anybody or anything.
Oh sure, nobody minds unconstitutional roadblocks, writs of assistance, insane police jamming needles into people rather than wait for a court order and proper medical personnel, searches without reasonable suspicion as long as it's to stop those drunk drivers...

Interesting points there. I don't think the frequency with which licenses are renewed would be a good baseline, and certainly driving styles and reaction times vary greatly from the time you're issued a license.
I've driven professionally (that is, my income was primarily a result of being able to drive, not a CDL type thing) for nearly a decade of my life with pretty close to a million miles under my belt. I've noticed that my driving style has changed substantially over the years.
These days, my reaction time rarely gets tested because I think ahead and I keep track of where people are and what they're doing. Even those "oh shit" moments get executed relatively gracefully. A lot of that came from 4 fucking times I got rear-ended while I was stopped at a red-light or in a traffic jam. Just sitting there, minding my own fucking business, and BAM - What the fuck just happened?
I think the closest thing to the baseline you're talking about would be a telemetry system in the cars that keep a moving average of how you accelerate/decelerate, turning style, blinker usage, etc etc etc, and in the event of an accident or something, compare the "normal way you've been driving lately" with "how you were driving in the moments leading up to the accident" that could maybe fit that bill, but then it's still a matter of the 4th and 5th amendments and those systems aren't flawless anyway.
I think the only reasonable solution there is a "Driving like a dipshit" violation with penalties based on how much you fucked up.
Want to drink and drive? Want to post something on facebook while driving? Want to drive home after that double shift? Fine... Did you hit someone? Class C misdemeanor to start. Did you do damage > $1000? Class B misdemeanor, > $5000? Class A, did someone get hurt? State Jail Felony. Someone died? You're fucked.
The only defense in that case is a legitimate WTF scenario, like it wasn't actually your fault the wreck occurred. (e.g., you got hit by someone else and pushed into another, or things along that line)
There have been two times I've felt compelled to run someone off the road because they were gonna kill someone. Both times on 225, both times crying women. Erratic speed, swerving lanes, nearly hitting multiple people, I could have SWORN they were drunker than shit, but no... Women... crying... Neither one even responded when I got right next to them blaring my horn and raising all the hell I could raise. It's rare that I call the cops for shit, but in those cases I called 911 described the situation and gave license plate numbers, then proceeded to follow them with hazards on.
In the situation, I felt like I was watching an assault with a deadly weapon on myself or another. Probably shoulda been justified shooting those fucking idiots.
I don't give a fuck how many people are drunk driving. I don't do it myself. I do mind the complete undermining of the constitution and the absolute creation of a police state in the name of fucking safety. You dont want your relatives hurt then keep them home and in the basement wrapped in bubble wrap. Stop giving up my rights because you all are scared. fucking just stop.
Pretty much why drivers get upset that I leave a lot of space between me and the car ahead and increase that space as speed increases.
It's not so I can stop. It's so I can stop slowly enough to hope that the idiot behind me looks up from their lap in enough time to stop.
(Also why sometimes I'm an ass and use the horn liberally when forced to suddenly start braking.. it's not for the guy in front of me but for the idiots behind me).
My neck is still a bit bothered from having to stop in traffic thanks to everyone on the road coming to a stop and then some idiot uninsured Mexican plowing into the guys 2 cars behind me and smashing us all.... oh and of course no insurance and no speak the English.
My Nephew just got his car totaled over the holidays as he had to come to a sudden stop on the highway because the idiots in front of him slammed on their brakes for some reason. The truck behind him stopped and swerved out of the way in time, but the woman in the car behind the truck that was behind him didn't pay attention and didn't start braking till it was way too late and slammed into him....

I wonder if this is a TX thing. Sounds like we've got the same gripes.
As for Constitutional liberties, America from its inception has been one to hold people accountable for their failures and piss poor decisions, and in its early days it did so in very fierce manners. DUI is no different than any of the other personal accountability laws we've had since the early days, so spare me the "Constitutional freedom" bullshit. You don't have the freedom to put other's lives at risk, plain and simple, and never have had that since George Washington was walking this great land.
The manner by which law enforcement carries out their duties today are a complete 180° from the late 1700s, and today are done so with far more Constitutionally based restrictions than ever in the history of the country. Are there times I feel it goes too far when specifically speaking of DUI enforcement? Damn right I do, sitting in a car is not operating a car, nor is riding a bicycle drunk "driving". But when you get down to actually being inebriated and operating a motor vehicle? Fuck yeah, .08 and you're fucked, kill someone and you're going away for murder. Does everyone feel a .08 differently? Of course, but we're a country who deals in thresholds for conviction or acquittal, so that number is what today's threshold is across the country, short of Utah as of three days ago.
For the record, my best friend was killed by a drunk driver. The man was a Scout Sniper and survived multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, slayed more bodies than everyone on this thread combined. He was hit crossing the street right in front of his niece, left behind two young children and a wife.
I'll say it again, if you drink and drive, just kill yourself now instead of waiting to kill an innocent person. Just do it. Fuck you if you don't have the balls otherwise, pussies.

I work 12-16 hours per day 6-7 days a week. Cut back to 50-60 hours a week the rest of the year. Many many other people have the same schedule.

That's a bit extreme, dude. I've lost/nearly lost people close to me in some stupid circumstances, some involving alcohol, others not. Countless others have, as well.
Life sucks sometimes. And, unlike the song goes, suicide isn't painless. I still think about my brother pretty often, these days mostly thinking how cool it'd be if his nephew could show him the shit he can do. I get where you're coming from, but that's not the answer.
Some people can't handle it, and they make stupid fucking mistakes on the road. (Thinking more the single mother nurses that live in the suburbs and work in the medical center.)

You are at risk every day, all day, from thousands of fucking retards driving, flying planes, fucktarded cops who are homicidal maniacs masquerading as your safety blanket, homicidal criminals who are just homicidal.
I think GW would not look kindly upon your willingness to give up your rights and your fearfulness and your propensity to look to an out of control government for safety, he actually spoke on this and people like you often. After the revolution he burned their houses, deported them to Canada and hung more than a few.
All the laws of the late 1700 could fit on 3 pieces of parchment, and the 10 commandments, simple as that. Today you have a corrupt state looking to enslave you, and that cute baby you are raising there. Think about the kids future, safety of a slave or the risk of a freeman? Hope you choose right.

AJ, the freedom you speak of does not extend to threatening the general public. You can get liquored up and pop wheelies all you want on your own property, just like you can shoot whatever the fuck you want on your own land and they can't say shit about it. But once you head out onto public roadways that shit changes, same as when your projectiles begin impacting on someone else's land. This isn't exchanging freedom for safety, because there is no freedom to be reckless and willfully threaten the public at large with injury or death, and there never has been. Bitch about the revenue collection through fines and some of the means by which people are pulled over all day long, I do as well, doesn't mean there still shouldn't be laws against blatantly dangerous acts such as drunken driving on public roadways. Anarchy is not the answer and certainly was not remotely close to Jefferson's and Madison's intentions when they scripted the Declaration, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.
Sorry bud but we do not give up our rights on public land or roadways. Its just not the case. You are imagining what they thought of instead of reading what they wrote, Read the BOR.
More people die from texting and driving than DUI. Stop imagining the threat is higher than it is. Its a scary world ain’t it. Don’t be a slave to your fears and if you do just become a shut in and leave the rest of us alone to live in freedom.

How wrong you are. You can get a DUI mowing grass or driving on your private property back in the woods.
Anyway it's not catching DUI that people don't like It's giving up freedom and rights all in the pursuit of money and control.
Check points, DUI for sleeping in your car/riding a horse/driving on your own property are similarly horse shit
How is it that probably the same Oath verbatim to Protect against ALL Enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC, is said by ALL. yet is different in each of our minds? Army, LEOs, everyone in harms way?

I love reading about BAC, blah blah blah. I can do this and drink that. There is a day where I hope we all get together and have a party.
No offense meant but if there is one subject I know more about than most...it is drinking and being drunk. I am not proud of it or bragging. I just have an affinity for it. Not beer or wine just hard liquor. I never puke despite what I consume. I wish it were different. I have heard it all the stories about prodigious drinking and the such but haven't ever met more than a handful of people that can keep up when my game is on. I drink more than most and I have a hell of a tolerance. I truly regret it as it is a curse.
Much like @Redmanss says, I hate drunk drivers. I am a little more lenient to myself because I know myself well enough. I have a 2 drink per hour rule. If I cross that, I don't drive. End of story...no excuses. I have left my car 30 miles away and did the ride of shame the next day. I also sympathize with what @QuickNDirty stated about situational awareness. If you are not impaired, you should be able to get home but it is risky. I will relate a short story about a good friend.
Drove home after 3 beers in 90 minutes. While driving along a main thoroughfare that was divided by a median, a man walking on the median fell and my friend hit him. Killed him instantly. He was arrested and charged with vehicular homicide even though his BAC was 0.05. He failed the field sobriety test which is another story. Three days later, the man he killed was found to have a BAC of 0.17. He likely fell because he was so shitfaced...how about that for miserable luck. My friend's charges were reduced but he still had 2 years of probation though he never served in jail.
It just isn't fucking worth it...not at all

Fuckin' hell, man. People on the sidewalks scare the shit out of me. Our sidewalks down here are fucked up, and these guys on their bikes come flying down them like they're not 20-30" away from a fight they can't possibly win.
Then there's the dumbfucks that are like, "Oh, green light for that guy, it's dark, I'm dressed in all black, not anywhere near a cross walk... I'm just gonna walk across because fuck the world."
Driver's Ed doesn't fuck around when they say, "Eyes on the road, always!"
The absolute __WORST__ is the connecting street to my neighborhood. It's a fairly high traffic road with lots of houses on it, and everyone has tons of vehicles parked all over it on both sides. It's effectively a 1 lane 2-way street many nights out of the year, and we've got kids, people, etc walking out and around with little care or concern for what's coming.
The speed limit is 30, and a lot of people think 30mph is fine. It's not fine. Not even a little bit. There've been 3 or 4 kids hit since I moved in 5 years ago. Not fatal, but still. There've been half a dozen or so cars tagged by drunks in the last two years, including one lady that wasn't just drunk but also on xanax or something. Hit a parked truck so hard it bent the frame, and I guess she wasn't wearing a seatbelt because her face was FUCKED after that. Blood everywhere, and she was just like, "Oh, I'm going to walk home and get my husband."
Bullshit, lady... You're getting in the back of an ambulance and then a squad car.
Situational awareness is fuckin' important.
I can't believe the stupid shit people do when their fucked up on alcohol. One guy I know in the Midwest was so drunk he fell out of a side by side and it ran him over, his head, he's dead. "impaired" to impaired to put on his seat belt.
The other guy in the southwest decided to ride wheelies on his quad after getting juiced, in the street in front of his house. He hit a parked car at about 40 mph, he's still in the hospital with several broken bones. Both these accidents happened New Year's Eve.
I've been rear ended two different times by drunk drivers, thankfully no serious injury to me or my passengers. I think it's a stupid fucked up decision to drink and drive regardless of where your at.
