You go to any NLB, college or NFL football game and you have several THOUSAND impaired fans leaving the stadium (driving). They turn a blind eye.
Yet you have a greater chance of getting a dui leaving your local pub.
Hypocrisy, you bet. Thoughts?
A local pub in my town sued the police dept. for stalking it's customers. They would sit across the street behind a church and wait for a car that has been sitting in the lot for a while to leave. They pulled over one of the employees when they left saying that their car was there all day! NO CHIT SHERLOCK! The pub won the case and the cops aren't allowed to do that anymore. Doesn't help the peoplel they targeted, but it's good to see that they were reprimanded for such actions.
You cant arrest them all and you need some probable cause to pull them over. LE needs to show a presence by beefing up patrols after games and start hitting the traffic violations hard picking up the DUIs as you go. Publicize this activity on the local news and people will start assigning designated drivers or curbing their alcohol intake
People deliberately drinking & driving & then whining about getting pulled over? Oh the poor dears!
It's easier to pull over a small group of people or one person from a pub than an entire crowd of thousands of people. I'm sure some of those people in that crowd do indeed get pulled over though.

My point is they aren't getting pulled over.
Safety in numbers.
But how do you know they're not? Are you trailing every single car? They don't have to get pulled over the second they leave the parking area. The sheriff could pull them over somewhere along the highway.

I think you pinned it down D.
I always wondered why sobriety checkpoints weren't set up along the main thoroughfares to a local bar or a series of local bars. Lawsuits.

This. If you don't want a DUI, don't drive drunk. Simple. I don't have one shred of sympathy for people caught driving drunk.
