Was he coming home from a horror movie?
in the US, NEVER TALK TO POLICE.
These sobriety tests are getting out of control. A friend was was stopped and asked to fold a fitted sheet.
Ba-dum tish
Ha. Years ago, my BIL was pulled over under suspicion of DUI and asked to walk the white line. He’s a teetotaler and former gymnast and wrestler. He did a back walkover…
Came here to post that exact clip - great minds think alike!
Years ago, went out drinking with a friend who didn’t normally drink. He was three sheets windward, but insisted he wasn’t. We started administering sobriety tests in the parking lot, which he was largely able to do. I then told him to skip from the bar to the edge of the parking lot, which he did.
“So, if you were sober, and I asked you to skip around the parking lot, would you typically agree to do so?”
He embraced the logic, and agreed he was drunk.
If the guy can flip, you must acquit!
To be honest, there’s a lot of folks out there who can even ride a bicycle while under the influence.
I had a friend who did this many years ago & the cop let him go. Figured if he could pull off a back flip & land it safely & cleanly he could drive.
