OK so i came up on a roadblock last night and i put a little SAD smiley face on my twitter feed post .. why did i do that ? Well i'll tell you why... Because even though i am on the road more than most of you... and i even put a twitter feed last week about what i do when i see drunk drivers late at night on the various freeway's i drive on.. just get defensive and keep my distance (very far away) i can tell their drunk , they tell us to call 911 however i don't do that.. ( i leave that to someone ,else) ...Yes, drunk drivers scare the Jabezee (that's a made up word) out of me..and they annoy me ..cause even though i rarely drink anymore, when i did , i would just make a alternative to get around ... whether taking the bus , a taxi, uber .... a hotel whatever.. just the penalties in the state i live in are astronautical for a DUI ,, OUI , there's different things you would call it..depends on what state .. oh and one of the reason's i don't call 911 ( i mean if they crashed i would), try to give the benefit of the doubt .. like there just a idiot driver or playing on the cell phone .... but most of the time they are drunk.. well i am not a law officer, so it's not my job to call 911 (feel free to comment if you disagree) .
So why was i annoyed when i approached the DUI checkpoint? i mean i had a valid driver's license and was in a nice newer model car, it's just that we live in a free society... and being stopped for a driver license check is not what are forefather's fought for in the Constitution ...unreasonable search and seizure.. don't agree , don't think drunks should be on the roads, but this is not acceptable in our society.. it' s just a opinion, and some of you actually might agree with these borderline Gestapo spectacle's. Believe me i know that law enforcement has probably seen the dark side of drunk driver's . Well if you disagree ,your welcome to leave a comment. Anyway my eye's are out there in So.Cal so if i see one being set up like i did last night, in Malibu, You can bet your bottom dollar i will be on social media posting w / a little help from Mr. Checkpoint :) ...
Posted on twitter and mr. checkpoint(he's a twitter user). Helped me get over 5,483 impressions, and 14 engagements...that's techie talk to a computer nerd like me .. but it's a big impression from my twitter post... on the post on the checkpoint ..even though i lost like 5 followers -who know's why that stuff happens? shouldn't Take it personal , just kind of sensitive sometimes .Well that's my opinion, of my thinking , We all have are different opinions, but this is the way i think ... actually i am fortunate, because i grew up in a very conservative area in my teenage years that being New England. now i live in liberal Southern California.and there's a reason .. i am more liberal than conservative, so southern NH- as beautiful as it is , i am OK in a suburb of Los Angeles for the moment :) i bid you a goodnight and remember the good weather is upon us and there will be a lot of these up until the labor day weekend , and they will make a comeback for the holiday season you can guarantee that.. so make alternatives if you drink and drive ... uber is cheap enough, get a hotel , designate a driver, be responsible be safe and don't make a bad mistake .. over and out ... .Kevin B.
