Yeah, sure like it's the first time they've had to deal with an agrieved 'innocent' driver....
"I wasn't drinking,it's not my car, I've only had two drinks, I'm the sober driver...yadda-yada-yadda."
Sorry, I know what you mean but sometimes you feel like saying "Whoa, I've had enough, fuck-off" after the gazillionth smart-arse behind the wheel that you've stopped.

Fair enough. Maybe its time under OSH that some sort of psychometric testing or monitoring was put in place to monitor happiness levels and redirect staff to appropriate situations.
We had a case down here where an officer smashed the windscreen of a family car (2 adults and kids inside) with nightstick as they left a checkpoint. They thought they had been waved through not to stop etc and the cop at end thought differently.
There were couple articles in paper but no follow up as to what happened.
Now even if they had been a drunk driver the last thing you would want is a pursuit where the driver cant see properly through window....
What gets me is at the checkpoints some will 'order' you to say name and address like your a criminal while others use the please count to ten request.
I think if you implemented a dept wide change to only asking for the count to ten you would get better reception overall. I understand the benefit of name and address as you will catch wanted people from time to time though that but its time the dept thought of the bigger picture and keeping the public involved as partners.

Came through the same checkpoint. Mrs Berg was driving as I'd had a few. No worries for us and Mr policeman was very polite and friendly.
Judging by the few cars heading back to the stn with people residing in the back they might have got a few.

The law says they can require the name and address.
When doing CBTs I always ask for the name and address into the machine as that is the only information I can legally require of a driver. If I asked them to count to ten and they said no, I'd just be having to demand the name and address anyway.
I wish I had a dollar for every knob who thought it was the first time I had heard "Good afterbull Consternoon".
Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Your guys lives would be a lot easier if it went back to the old days of a more relaxed approach while achieving the same objective.
If a driver refuses to count to ten then you can open a full can of legal whoop arse on him and ruin his night. But I think the instances of that would surely be lower if asked to count to ten nicely instead of a gruff impolite name and address demand.
Used to work with couple guys who loved winding up you fellas at checkpoints. I'd daren't be behind them if I could avoid it but usually the officer was in such a state he'd wave me and the next half dozen vehicles straight thru.
Their favourite gems were:
Does your mother know your doing this for a living....
And for name and address the other guy would say Mickey mouse, Disneyland.....
The worst I'd ever say is to inform them they are violating OSH truck entry by not maintaining three points of contact while climbing up side of cab holding breathyliser thingy....
