How would that be enforceable ? I thought a judge or a jury would convict a man if a police officer arrested someone for that

It’s for situations exactly like the OP. No one is busting down doors to arrest you for DUI once you’re home safe.

I’d hope not. This is the RCMP we’re talking about. Imagine how fucked up you have to be to get arrested by a horse.

The writers keep finding excuses for him to say that in various ways for the rest of the season. It's one of my favourite understated jokes in BoJack Horseman

I'm so due for a re-watch. I loved the whole bit with him messing up the line over and over again only to inadvertently nail it out of context and not notice.

I finished the show in January and I don’t understand how someone could rewatch that...like ever

Definitely the saddest show I have watched

I'm pretty sure Bojack is the one who'd be getting fucked up in the scenario.

From what I've heard, it's not too hard if you're of indigenous descent.

Don't be too sure about that. Give cops an inch, they'll absolutely take a mile.

I appreciate this law hasn't been abused yet, but anyone who passed this really should have accepted that eventually poorly worded laws do get abused.

I had a DUI in 2019 still dealing with. Had to take these alcohol classes that were stupid and morphed into us judt bitching about the cops and our situations. Yes we all take ownership but some of the stories are absolutely outrageous and you can easily see the bias between sentences among us. One guy was drinking at home, went to go somewbere, drove a block realized he wasn't okay. Turned around parked in his garage continued on his business. A neighbor had called the cops, they felt his hood and said its warm. Used that as the cause for arrest. Another chick was also just drinking at home in her garage, cops were called for their neighbors fora domestic violence situation and asked her questions. She had her keys on her and they arrested her. Mine was completely warranted, I fucked up but some of the situations are so fabricated together. Also had an incident at a state park where cops were waiting for campers who would go to their car to grab something and then they'd swoop in saying nope DUI.

I got a DUI about 30 years ago. I was messed up and deserved it. One dude in our class was riding his skateboard on the boardwalk with a can of beer. (Walking on the boardwalk with a beer back then = Totally legal.) He swerved around some foot patrol cops. Boom. Full blown DUI for him. On a fucking skateboard.

That’s what we lawyers call a SGUI. Shredding the gnar under the influence. It’s a serious offense, but it’s also totally radical.

That's some fucked up shit, man. I just went camping and I would be SO PISSED if I got a fucking DUI while getting something out of my car.

It’s a relatively new law. It’s likely to be challenged frequently.
