Remember me posting about going to the gay club? Well, we did and we had a great time, but as it was getting ready to close, I was still hyped up and wanted to do more dancing. We have an after hrs. club here called "The Boiler Room" and you can byob and dance 'till 6:30am. Soooo, I wanted to do that. Unfortunately, best buddy did not... HE wanted Krystals at 2:30am on the strip and he was driving. (Krystals are little square burgers not unlike White Castles) Anyway, so I'm pouting, he's getting belligerent to the drive-thru woman and sure 'nuff, here come the cops. They ask him to pull over AS we're at the window getting his food.
He gets out of the car and they start asking questions. I'm still pouting..hehe... anyway, they get to asking him about a breathalizer and doing a series of sobriety tests which he refuses. Then they start putting the pressure on him. Now, I'm just plain pissed off. So I lean all the way over the seat and say.. "S'cuse me? I was a pre-law major here at UT and am just curious as to your "just cause" to pull him over to begin with?" and the cop says, "The woman at the drive thru window smelled alcohol on his breath."
Well. I said, "First off we were sitting still, not moving in the car, second that doesn't give you FIRST HAND knowledge, just heresay and third, you came up to the car BEFORE the woman had even opened the window to take our money.. you had NO reason to pull him over and have NO reason at this point to demand any kind of sobriety test or breathalizer."
Later on as we were waiting on someone to come and pick us up, the officer told me that had I not opened my smart little mouth, he would've carted my friend off to jail. He turned out to be a 1/2 decent cop.. for Knoxville that is, and even sided with me - turning to my friend and saying..
"Man, you should've gone to The Boiler Room" hehehehe
Fun weekend! *grin*
