Alcohol breath test at 4PM on a thursday?

Glad to see my tax dollars being put to good use /s

people don't just drink during the evenings...

every drunk driver caught and off the road is defiantly better then someone in a coffin or hospital...

I'm old enough to enjoy that one !! lol

I've had that breath test 3 times now. The last time was in my car at night time coming out of town.

When the police man shoved it through my window my dog in the back leaned over my shoulder in a rush and bit the breathaliser. Luckily the cop was good hearted and asked what kind of dog she was, he couldnt see her as she's all black. Made me chuckle, must have given him a shock.

Now THAT is a bloody good dog !!!! He was doing his job of protecting you .... The cop may have got a little surprise, but couldn't really get too upset about the situation, given that he/she had produced a device and pushed it towards you face.

It would have been funny to see actually !! lol

...I always tell them I live at 742 Evergreen Terrace....

;o)

I don't like being asked my address by a cop when they don't suspect me of anything...

Dude in Hawkes Bay said his name was Joe Bloggs, cost him $750.00 in court, fem pig on the rags!

it's actually a recording device that records the sound of your voice and stores it in a database alongside your rego & car description - a bit like the fingerprint database. then when you are picked up on one of the multiple govt. surveilance cameras around NZ, they can recognise you by your voice.

I must have a particularly innocent face because I've been through multiple checkpoints and only ever been asked once to say my name and address in the machine. Usually they just take one look at me and wave me through.

Even on the bike when they've been doing warrant and rego checks they just wave me through - probably because I flip up my visor and oggle the nice young men in uniform and just look far too keen to stop for a chat.

Refusing/failing to give or giving a false name and address can get you locked up. I'd say it wouldn't be a problem if you were a taxi driver and had a car full to do the count to ten thing so your address is kept secret but you are legally obliged...

I always use my brothers name and address. That keeps it sweet cos it matches the one on the licence I use.

He's gonna be mighty pissed off when he gets back from Dubai with all the demerit points he's accumulated.

Liberty is a soul's right to breathe - if the cops want to tell me they suspect me of something then I'll tell them who I am... not until then... and I'll take that to court if I have to
