Didn’t he admit being a “designated distraction” by acting like he was drunk?
Did you miss the part where he said it was a joke and it didn’t actually happen?
No I did not. We are arguing hypothetically I believe.
No, you’re arguing about the punchline of a joke.
How can a genie be apparently all powerful, presumably automatically know the language of anyone that rubs his lamp, and yet not be able to hear the difference between the words pianist and penis. It doesn’t make any sense! The whole story seems like bullshit.
I think what this means is that drunk driving isn’t all that dangerous after all, given that it’s so widespread in reality (please refrain from anecdotes).
Ah details, details… Okay, we are hypothetically arguing about the punchline of a joke as in what if one to pull that on a LEO for real… it’s not a real argument… it’s more of an exercise, I believe.
No, you are not hypothetically arguing. You are arguing.
Probable cause: in Ontario police can and do nab people who have emerged from bars and are obviously intoxicated when they start to drive or who are weaving about while driving.
No probable cause: they also set up RIDE stops (sort of like roadblocks in which people passing through are checked out to see if they are driving drunk), however, since the RIDE stops are supposed to be random (due to there not being probable cause), they do not set up immediately outside of bars. That being said, they still set up in the general vicinity if they chose.
Okay… 
In Detroit? Have a Illinois license plate. 
And vice versa.
It was a Kids In The Hall skit. Upon passing the field sobriety tests, Dave Foley tells the cop he’s the Designated Decoy. The DD allows the actual drinkers to drive off without being pulled over.

This is actually a considerable decrease.

When you factor in the overall drop in fatalities, then drunk driving fatalities may have dropped by a factor of three.
This perception is also found over here in the US. I haven’t seen any evidence that there is actually any favoritism, but plenty of people have the Masonic compass and square on their car and, at least historically, large percentages of US politicians were freemasons, including George Washington himself.
I think so. It’s possible to go to a bar and either not drink at all, or drink so little that you are still legally OK to drive. I would think that just being seen leaving the bar isn’t enough to constitute “probable cause” unless there are specific signs of intoxication coming from the suspect or if they admit to having drunk a large quantity.
With regard to cops not staking out and stopping bar patrons leaving the establishment, I’d think there’d be enormous potential for corruption in this scenario.
“Hey, would you like advance notice of when we’re going to stake out your bar? All we need is a donaton to the police retirement fund.”
In locales I have lived in it wasn’t uncommon for the police to park near a popular bar’ parking lot, esp on a Saturday night, watch who comes out of the bar and how they’re behaving. They’d pull people over all the time who were leaving the bar.
