| 0:00.0 | The Bird Show. |
| 0:01.3 | So this case in Minnesota, I want to get some clarity. |
| 0:04.7 | If this case was in Atlanta, would it have had the same result? |
| 0:10.1 | And I've heard this as urban legend, but I've never heard confirmation from a police officer. |
| 0:15.1 | The details of this case in Minnesota get a little bit cloudy, but at the base of it is this. |
| 0:22.3 | Dude gets hammered. |
| 0:23.8 | Here's my question for a police officer. |
| 0:26.3 | If you get hammered, you're at opera, Friday, Saturday night or whatever, right? |
| 0:29.9 | You just get your drink off too much. |
| 0:32.0 | They over serve you. |
| 0:32.6 | It's their fault, not yours. |
| 0:33.8 | They put alcohol in the bottle. |
| 0:36.6 | They were pouring them deep. I didn't, I mean, I just got a couple drinks. Yeah. It's all about opera. So you just get your drink on too much and you drove down to opera and you know there's no way that you can drive back. You're hammered, you know it. But you go to your car and you sit behind the drivers or behind the steering wheel and you crash you put the keys let's say you put them on the passenger seat right and you pass out in your car because you don't want to drive home well i can give you a real life example that's almost identical to what you're saying okay let me just finish this example and it's all yours. |
| 1:27.8 | So, um, about two hours later, three hours later, or whatever, four in the morning, police officer takes his flashlight to the window or whatever. So can you roll down your window? You wake up or whatever. And he says, I'm sorry, you're getting busted for a DUI. You know, I'm sitting here crashed out of my car, man. I knew I didn't, |
| 1:30.0 | I don't want to drive. I'm hammered. I'm hammered. |
| 1:28.6 | I'm sitting here crashed out of my car, man. I knew I didn't, I don't want to drive. |
| 1:29.3 | I'm hammered. |
| 1:30.0 | I'm hammered. |
| 1:48.3 | I'm sitting here trying to sleep the whole thing off. Sorry, sir, you're behind the wheel of a car. You get a DUI. Even if it's not moving. Even if it's not moving. This is exactly what happened in Minnesota. and the three judge panel said that yeah, they weren't real sure if he was intending to drive or not when he went to the vehicle. And even though he passed out, they gave him the DUI. |
| 1:52.3 | No. See, I've heard it like if you keep the keys in the ignition, like, and you have the car |
| 1:57.2 | either running or just keys are in the ignition period that you can get busted, but never if they're like over on the other side of the car. And that's the clarification I want from a police officer because I've heard that also. 404-741-Q-100. This case in Minnesota, this dude had the keys on the console, so they weren't in the ignition. But I wonder if that does play a part. Now, if you're hammered and you go into the back seat, |
| 2:20.0 | is it different than if you're in the front seat driver's side? |
