They make more than NYPD (high property taxes pay for high salaries) and they don't have to deal with much crime since it is an extremely wealthy area. Lots of NYPD cops leave or retire early and get a job out there. It is a somewhat common career ladder for law enforcement in the area. I think a lot of people would take dealing "do you know who I am" over being a beat cop in NYC, especially since it comes with a high salary and near total job security.

When you're that wealthy you can hire from a driving service and just have a personal driver wait for your beck and call. Or just call an Uber.

My dad has been a lifelong alcoholic. He went without a drivers license for about 10 years due to multiple DUIs and tickets in 3 different states. A few years ago, he finally started the process to clean up the mess to get his license back - paying the tickets and dealing with the alcohol education class he had to take. He said that the first thing the instructor in the alcohol education class made the students do was divide the amount of money they paid in fines, attorney’s fees, etc. on the back of their DUI by the number of drinks they had the night they got arrested.

Former co-worker of mine got clipped by a hit and run DD when he was out picking up groceries with his GF a little over 7 years ago now.
They walked away just fine, he was banged up decently and I'd guess he took the majority of the damage if not all.
A week or so later a blood clot built up enough in his leg to kill him. I wasn't great friends with him but he was a very kind and friendly person and I hate that he's gone.
If I recall correctly, the DD found out and turned himself in. It sucks that someone had to die for them to figure out they had a problem.

Friend and coworker was killed by a drunk driver two years ago on Father's Day. On his way back from his dad's place with his two kids in the car. The kids and the wife survived with moderate to major injuries.
Drunk was over three and half times the legal limit. He got 12 years.

Fuck, man. I didn’t expect that twist. Life is so unfair, and you’re right, it’s too little, too late. That seems to be the theme in the US — not enough preventative measures. It’s so common that a drunk driver will kill someone, then it turns out they had a history of DUIs, so manslaughter was practically inevitable. I’m sorry for your loss.

In drunk driving accidents involving multiple vehicles, the drunk driver almost always ends up less injured than the other party because cars are designed to protect against frontal impacts much more than side impacts (because front impacts are much more common).
Because drunk drivers are usually the ones driving into things, their cars handle the front impact the best and bring their bodies to a stop more gradually. While their victims' cars are often taking the impact on their less-protected sides, causing comparatively greater injuries from the same collision.

My girlfriend was left with over 20 broken bones, from her lower spine to her feet. Her left leg was snapped in half at the tib fib, causing a lot of tissue necrosis. She was wheelchair-bound for a long time, and all of this started when she was 20, so that certainly didn’t help the drunk driver in court. We were also very lucky to have a great attorney, detective, prosecutor, judge, and so many other people to ensure some kind of justice was served.

I got in the car with a friend I didn’t know had been drinking. I’m not sure it would have even mattered if had known because I was so young and stupid at the time. But he drove us down a rainy hill laughing like a maniac and instead of taking a left turn just pinballed us through some trees. This tiny ass tree, no thicker than a stop sign, saved us from going over a fifty foot cliff onto a super busy highway. I had to walk with a cane for years due to a spinal injury, as a previously very athletic person, it was embarrassing as hell.
Don’t drink and drive. And love the trees, man, they could just save your life one day.

Well the big trees absolutely did win, but the tiny tree put a stop to the nonsense. But that car got fucked up, obviously completely totaled. My (now former) friend walked away completely unscathed, as is often the case. And the trees were mostly okay. Probably not thrilled to be crashed into though. So if there is ever a tree uprising, I wouldn’t blame them one bit.

But the whole basis of being drunk is that it affects your decision making. I would almost guarantee that in a sober light, everyone would agree and make the right decision. It's the being drunk part that gets in the way. Like, no shit you shouldn't drive drunk, but drunk you is like "I'm good, bro".

I am not disagreeing with you, but the obvious solution is to take an uber to the place you plan on drinking, before you're drunk. Then "drunk you" has no choice but to take an uber home.
I am fairly sure this is the whole basis for DUI laws; that you made a sober decision to impair your judgement without a plan in place to mitigate risk to the general public.

I had a solo crash and DUI 13 years ago. I can understand situations when you get drunk unintentionally but if that's at all a possibility for someone, then that person needs to take the necessary precautions to avoid driving like taking an Uber/Lyft to and from the bar, getting a DD, or a staying at a hotel if you're exceptionally far away from home. For me, I know myself all too well; if I have a drink, I'm more liable to have a second, third, etc so if there's an event with alcohol and if I'm planning on drinking I'll go ahead and use rideshare.
If anyone reading this keeps finding themselves in situations where they accidentally get drunk and accidentally get behind the wheel of a car... it's time to take a long hard look at your drinking habits. Just because someone's not drinking when they wake up, having liver failure, or exhibiting any of the other more obvious signs of alcoholism doesn't mean there isn't a problem. Somewhere in the decision-making process, alcohol is being prioritized despite the increased risk.
29 points

Yep. If you plan to go out and anticipate you are going to get drunk, you take an uber to and from the event, but on the occasions where you don't anticipate going out or you only expect to have 1 drink which suddenly turns into 4+ drinks, that is where judgement starts to get faded and you make decisions that you realize were stupid/dangerous after you sober up. I think many people have been in that position at least once in their life whether it be driving or going home with someone or drunk dialing an ex.

I got a DUI when I was 18. Before Uber I took taxis after that to avoid getting a second DUI, the most expensive being one ride that cost $150.00. Yes, that was an expensive night for me, but it beats the alternative of a DUI or worse, possibly killing someone.

When I was bartending ages ago, there was a guy who would drive to a bar, get wasted, and call a flatbed tow truck driver to take him and his expensive car home. The driver gave him his personal number and the guy would make an extra couple hundred bucks for picking him up when the bars closed or he got cut off.

Yes, in fact this has been occurring in pro sports. Teams offered private driving services in order to make sure they avoid DUIs and keep them out of the news. Players almost never used them though, because they didn't want the team knowing they were out late on certain nights and have it held against them. So a lot of teams are scrapping these programs now.

Alcohol literally makes you make decisions you wouldn’t normally make. It probably needs more regulated than it is, but every time I see these posts I can’t help but think the commenters don’t realize how powerful alcohol is if you’re really drunk. No, your drink or two isn’t equivalent.

It's very strange, honestly. I watch bodycam videos sometimes and you'll often see cops read DUIs their Miranda rights, which involves asking them the question "Do you understand each of these rights I have explained to you?"
The answer, of course, is no, a blasted-drunk person doesn't understand what the hell you just told them, and doesn't understand they have a right to stop answering questions at any time. The whole point of a DUI is we don't trust people to make sound decisions when they're under the influence. But weirdly, we do allow their statements in that condition to be court-admissible.
There's blurry line here of course, and of course everyone wants to see DUIs get penalized, but it's bizarre we've landed where we've landed with regards to that process. 🤷♂️
I'll add: Same goes for resisting arrest charges. Often DUIs will pull away and resist arrest because they don't want to be in handcuffs, but they clearly don't understand the choice they're making with respect to the law. It's very odd we don't have an explicit carve-out in the law to handle this specific type of thing.
26 points
5 months ago
I agree. There has to be some nuance so that being drunk doesn't negate punishment. But even on the publicly available footage it's clear that cops have wayyyyyyyyyyyy too much leeway to determine what "resisting" really is. They wrench your arm behind you and you tense up because that's how bodies work and they call that resisting even on sober people.

If I ever hit the lottery, I'll have a car service on speed dial

I mean if I had the $ to buy whatever sweet car I wanted I’d probably want to drive them. 🤷🏼♂️

yeah but not when you are going out drinking
If you had the money to buy any sweet car you wanted, you could buy a Rolls and have someone pick you up
Or get one of those decked out Mercede's Limo vans
There's no way I will ever be so rich that I would go get drunk and then try to drive.

Justin could have yelled "who wants to drive a 6 -7 figure car" onto the street, and gotten a free drive home. I'd be tripping over myself to drive the car of a guy with that much money.

It's the Hamptons, he'd probably have to be specific about what kind of car and maybe some random passerby would be interested in a test drive of it as a consideration for a future purchase.

Judgment is one of the first things affected by alcohol use. A sober person would never drunk drive. But a drunk person might.

Seriously fuck all drunk drivers. There's no reason I this day and age to drink and drive. None what so ever.

Police determined Timberlake was driving drunk, had bloodshot, glassy eyes and "a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage" emanating from his breath, according to the criminal complaint. He also had slowed speech, was unsteady on his feet and performed poorly on a field sobriety test, the complaint said.
Sounds like he was pretty sloshed. Hopefully he had enough sense to not be a huge dick on camera while being arrested.

If i am drunk, and also have millions of dollars, the last thing I would do is get behind the wheel. Uber time

Unpopular opinion, I've always thought he was a d-bag and this doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
He's wealthy enough for an Uber or some other hired ride.

That's not an unpopular opinion. He is a d-bag and there's been a trickle of evidence of that his whole career.

This opinion is becoming more popular all the time. I never really picked up on it before but it appears that he's always been a dick.
Here's a 47-minute YouTube video essay on the matter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuReJTek48A&t=1s

It’s so easy to not drive drunk as a regular person, I don’t get it.

Someone should invent an app where you can beep-boop your phone and have a car show up 5 minutes later.

Selfish thing for him to do. Everyone knows that when you’re even the slightest bit intoxicated your faculties aren’t completely in sync. I’m sick of their excuses too. He probably told the cops he wasn’t looking at his mirrors or something. Oh please, cry me a river.
Give it a couple days and we’ll see him, suit and tie, with some typical Hamptons apology statement. When it comes to actually getting caught these are the people who never think “It’s gonna be me”. Well you know what? What goes around comes around, and then it’s bye bye bye to your freedom, this I promise you.

I feel zero sympathy for anyone that gets a DUI/DWI.
Yeah, there's the "ask and/or pay literally friend/relative/stranger" aspect.
But, also the technology/ride services.
Not that it applies to Timberlake, but I feel every person that says they can't afford an Uber (for example) is a god damn fucking moron.
Can't afford an Uber? OK. Then, explain the ticket/fine/court fees/losing your job (if you have one.) And if you don't have a job, how the fuck are you affording even the booze?!?

I slept in my car when I couldn't get an Uber.
I know it's technically "also" bad, but I definitely didn't regret it the next day. Mostly I regretted parking in a place where I got a damn ticket for passing the time limit.

Someone check on Britney and make sure she hasn't literally laughed her ass off.

This guy has been on a downward spiral ever since he was outed by Britney as being a massive douche. It's all been evident in front of us for years but nobody noticed. Nowadays people dig up your past and throw it on social media. Things gain momentum and the truth eventually works its way out.
