Harwich DUI (Chatham: attorney, job, house)

[Dugy00]

I lived in Harwich for 4 years.. Bought a home and lived there. Just before I sold my home I was driving there from having a few drinks at the watering hole over by the Stop & Shop on RT 137.. As I looked in my rear view there was no other traffic at all during my whole trip.. about 5 miles... I pulled into my long driveway, parked my vehicle slowly, & I was walking on the sidewalk in front of my house (on my property) up to my door, only steps away..when a police car entered my driveway. He had his lights on and asked me why I didn't stop. I said I didn't see him & why didn't he turn on his siren?? Well he didn't answer but insisted on giving me a sobriety test. I told him I was out of my car and on my own property! He still told me to take the test which I did and he said I failed. This was accessive police action,the officer was alone and it was his word against mine. I was taken to the jail. Can you believe that?? I wonder if there is a way to find out who that guy was and if it's too late to prosecute HIM!!

If you were driving after a few drinks, then you deserve to have your license permanently revoked IMO. If you failed the test, you failed it. I highly doubt the cop was out to get you just for fun.

If you drink, please take a taxi or stay off the road. I don't want to get killed or injured by a drunk driver.

This person posted about being kidnapped by people "in police uniforms" in another thread (titled Hate Crimes in the MA forum). Too strange to relate.

Just ignore.

This is a free forum for anyone to read- you needn't tell everyone "IGNORE". The whole point of posting it was to have everyone READ it and here you go telling everyone to ignore it.. Then what's the point of posting it? Yes, it is strange but true. I suppose you don't believe it? Well I really don't care if you do or don't. The fact is, it's out in print & maybe the guys involved will see it and know
something is being done. I frequent Chatham, I've talked to an earlier police chief about this, I've contacted the Attorney Generals office and other sources, State troopers for one, And the FBI and so you're post of ignorance is not in the least understandable. Of course I haven't contacted you or your Cape Cod Police force as apparently if you WERE the ones involved you would conveniently shelf this case. Apparently you are taking sides, that is my personal opinion. And you are the wrong side. Instead of doing your job of protecting the innocent, the victim, you are worsening the problem with your telling everyone to ignore what they read? Freedom of the press! Freedom of speech! Your way to solve this henious crime is to say "ignore"? I do believe in law enforcement but not the way you are handling Where's your sense of loyalty to the citizen? Nowhere that I can see. Thanks for nothing.
