I disagree. If you want to argue the point further take it to About This Message Board. Otherwise just cool it.

I hear this in a Barney Gumble voice, just before he passes out on top of the bar.
Huh, I drive in Burbank all the time. There’s a great little airport up there that’s much easier to fly into and out of than LAX. There’s also a Fry’s Electronics which I visit on a regular basis. I usually drive my beat up old car when I’m up there and I’ve never had a problem with the police. It might be the beard, except that I sport the scruffy look on the weekends.
So, I have to agree with the guy who said the common factor in all your problems is you.
Because after they approach the car, the sight of Stan’s enormous penis makes them back off, of course.
I wondered how this old thread popped up again after almost three weeks, so I found the first post from today, and …
So, just pointing out here - bragging about this driving drunk repeatedly? Pretty much confirms the ultimate in assholish behavior. Telling us, and asking anyone to believe that “coppers” (I’m assuming this means multiple cops) had nothing to say, or did nothing about it?
How do you get that nose through a door, little wooden puppet?
Maybe Stan just got bailed out.
You gotta fight for your right to drive drunk, run stop signs, and get pissy when the police question you about the activities of a close friend found dead.
I know at least one person on this board is a professional race car driver. This fact casts serious doubt upon your statement.
Hey, when driving drunk through stop signs is outlawed, only outlaws will drive drunk through stop signs!
I know somoene who drove through a stop sign while sober.
You speak the truth? You mean like that time you claimed a cop let you look into a van that was part of a CRIME SCENE? Yeah, right. And monkeys might come flying out of my ass.

Can you get a photo? I’d like to see that.
(The monkeys that is.)
Hey everybody waving big sign
Over here…this way. Warehouse sale now on.
All pet food half price…All sorts of pets…I must clear all my Troll food now
We understand…but we can help, we just need to get you reinserted into the matrix. It will sting a bit at first but the urge to resist will pass. We will make sure you are someone special, movie star perhaps?
Suddenly the haze parts, and like a Rosetta Stone of cognitive dissonance, a nugget like this is uncovered.
Excuse me? I think you’ll find the Supreme Court has roundly rejected prior restraint.
I’m sitting here. I’m finishing my coffee.
Are you sure? Care to explain why you, as a great driver, ended up with
enough traffic warrants that you had to spend a week in jail after not paying them? Why didn’t you assert your rights and leave the cops limpdicked at the side of the road?
Duh. The cops are out to get him, man.
Bet you anything they used some good old-fashioned brutality to get him there.
Another one here who is mostly in favour of cops but doesn’t believe them all to be saints.
I think the OP has a lot of issues with the police which is very probably reflected in his attitude to them when he encounters them and not surprisingly he gets the unhelpful response he secretly wants so that he can justify his prejudice against them.
I have had an aggressive response from L.A.P.D.(On seperate occassions) and Orange County sherrifs dept. when encountered in rough areas while dressed lowlife.
Their attitude changed almost immediatly when I responded politely and helpfully to their questions,though I expect my accent helped.
I cant blame anyone in a high risk job who encounters arseholes daily being a little less then mister nice guy at times particulary when they meet a lary git.
