Hope Solo is in trouble

In all my time as Magistrate, I never had a domestic violence case in front of me when THC was involved. ETOH = 100%
I've been sick the last couple days, but today I felt better. I had to go in early and got called to a alcohol related domestic. I instantly could feel my blood pressure rise, headache came back and felt like shit leaving the call. I realize why I hate alcohol and being around people.

Alcohol is my vice. I wish THC was legal in Iowa.

You know my feelings on LEO. Some great, some bad. I have had all in my living room in the middle of the night for a search warrant. You are one of the good guys. Please don't get burnt out and make a bad decision this close to retirement

I said if they made THC legal and it would make me sleep like a normal person I would be all about it.

I behave until I get in my car and then

I'm a cop not a mind reader sport. I'm not interested in playing guess what I'm saying without saying it game. You have something to say, say it.

I’ll admit it…sorry, you’re a man with a badge so I’m hunting anyone. It’s probably unfair to lump you in with the IC area PD. But they are the worst when it comes to real crime vs. squeezing the public for money. I’m bitter because I got a 6 over (actual, not knocked down) ticket recently. Seriously. Go phuck themselves with that.

I get it. I don't pull over until 11 over and drop it to 10 over which saves the people $58. If I pulled over everyone for 6 over, I would only drive 10 miles a shift.

What's your hurry.
Leave 10 min earlier and slow down so you don't get a ticket.

Didn’t realize that 5-oh radar gets a signature on their radar that a vehicle has an active radar detector, until the other day when a well placed ISP clocked me over the hill at ~16 over. I unplugged it and threw it in middle compartment, knowing that it is not illegal to have one in Iowa but figured my chances of getting a warning was better not having one prominently displayed on my windshield…. First thing the trooper asks me is where I have the radar detector, I told him the truth that I put it away so maybe I would have a better chance at getting a warning (kind of perplexed that was able to spot it on my windshield in the dark from 1/4 mile away or maybe my drop in speed went from 16 over to 1 over in a matter of a second after he first clocked me gave it away). He said his radar pings on detectors so he knew right away I had one. He actually gave me a warning, no idea why, I deserved that speeding ticket.

But it got me thinking about other times I’ve had the detector on and let it buzz full blast passing cops, (but not speeding) .. probably putting a target on my back.
 
Been setting the cruise control for 4 over no matter the limit for over 20 years now.

Zero tickets...go figure.

Here's how I look at it. Let's say I drive the same speeds as everybody else, but I'm the one that gets busted for say 6-10 over. Just because all the rest of the drivers are driving the same speed if not faster than me doesn't mean I should be angry when I'm the one getting a ticket for speeding the same as everybody else.

I'm still guilty. I deserved the ticket. So, how do I prevent that? By not giving the LEO a reason to pull me over.
 
"Officials tell us Solo was booked for impaired driving (DWI), resisting arrest, and misdemeanor child abuse."

"Hope Solo, U.S. soccer legend, was arrested Thursday in North Carolina for driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest ... and cops say her two children were in the car when she was busted."

Because, rules:

And there are other, more naked pictures of her available for free through the Google machine. They are worth the peek, if that's your sort of thing.

The news story I saw said the car was stopped but running and she was sleeping while sitting in the driver's side. Doesn't mean she wasn't drunk, but wonder how that comes to driving.while drunk. But then .....

There is a nasty bug going around. All 3 of us in my house are sick right now.

It's a good question. I'd always heard that it was a DUI if the car was running, the keys were in the ignition, etc., but I don't see it in the actual NC "Impaired Driving" law. Although it does specify that "vehicle" doesn't include a horse.


What would stop someone from asserting that a friend had driven the car to that location, and then caught a ride home from there, leaving you to sleep it off until you were fit to drive? It's unlikely, but if you're really innocent until proven guilty and they can't prove that you actually drove the car, then how do they convict on that?
 
Get a better support system. That is absurd and not only do you and the wife need time away, it's good for your kids to not always be around their parents.

We can leave them with their grandparents and get several hours away from them. But we don't leave them for the day or longer. I don't think my mom is of the health that having 3 kids in the house for an entire day is good for her anyways.
 
Self inflicted. For everyone that has kids.

I just think it's crazy that she is complaining about it. Especially since she and her husband likely have the money to hire help.

What's worse is she's blaming her alcohol abuse on her children. My kids never led me to abuse alcohol.
 
And he was doing everyone a favor because those bastards have actually outlined their attempt to take over the world. They shouldn’t be trusted, any business located there is a CCP business- and their absolute failure (which, imo intent hasn’t been established here) has created a perpetual pandemic that destroyed Europe completely. They failed here because we actually took a semi bi-partisan approach.
Uh sir, this is an Arby's

This, 5-6 over. Have not had a speeding ticket since 1972.

The son had a NASTY stomach bug and mild fever last week. I was home with him for a day and a half while we kept him out of daycare. I changed 10 diarrhea diapers during the full day I was there. First one made me gag six times it was so foul. Then the daughter (no pic) got a cold so I was home with her as we had to keep her out for two days. Wifey (no pic) now has the cold and I am on day three of the stomach bug. Brutal.

No good. Hope you guys get better soon.

I've always know it to be keys in the ignition.
Certainly is in VA.
30 odd years ago I was out in Old Town Alexandria one night and when my boring married friends decided it was late and time to go home our waiter informed me that the bachelorette party at the next table was heading to the bar nextdoor. I informed him that I could get us past the line as I was a regular there. We got into the bar and he started buying us shots so (he could catch up.) Well I had already been drinking for 3-4 hours and now was pounding awful goldschauger on top. I don't remember much other than we didn't hook up with the girls and he left me with the tab. Which was fine as the bar didn't really charge me.
However, when I got to my car I realized that I was waaay too drunk to drive. But the parking garage I was in closed and locked the gate at 2:30 am. So I drove my car out and parked on the street, then took a nap. I was awaken by a local PO yanking me out of the car screaming "where are the keys!!" I replied "in my pocket?" Which fortunately they were. He got upset that he couldn't give me a DUI and arrested me for "public intoxication" anyway. We did not become friends.

I dunno about nowadays, but my best friend got popped for DUI for keys in the ignition roughly 1995ish. He had pulled over on US20, car shut off, doors locked. He was far out of the way of traffic at a gravel road intersection.

His lawyer told him, all you had to do is pull the keys out of the ignition and you wouldn't be here in my office.
