Bobby Blotter 3/30

Two splendid examples in the Review Police Blotter

3/25, 1510 hrs: Driver stopped for seat belt violation, reeking of hooch, pretends to the rozzer it's only been two beers, later relents and 'fesses up to 7.

Nicked for DUI.

Why is it always *two* beers that people pretend to? Show me a man on his second beer and I'll show you a stalwart just getting in his stride. I don't think I *know* anyone who flags after only two gulps - hardly worth starting if one's going to lose interest so soon and go beetling off in the jalopy.

Like the fuzz in the blotter report, I too would be suspicious of that 2 x beer line. Curiously lacking in stamina, for one thing.

3/25, 1626 hrs: Dept of slight Paranoia:

Gent perched at Madison/High School (the roundabout?) is uncouthly honked at by passing driver. Shock horror. To boot, the klaxonier had a restraining order out on him.

Carabinieri informed, of course, who traced the honker who said he was bleeping at someone else. Peace restored, no arrests.

Hells bells - poor fuzz if they're reduced to this level of investigation.
Reminds me of arriving at a single-prop airfield in Oz's Northern Territory and waiting for customs inspection. Making to jot a few notes, I heard a stentorian strine bellow:
"Oi - you! ... Can't you bloody read?" (Pointing to a "No Photographs" sign)
"No photographs means no writing!"

"Restrained" means no honking.

Comments:

my job is to keep track of DUII people. what they really mean
"1 beer" 3-4
"2 beers"4-6 beers and a shot
"3 beers" 6-10 beers and 2-3 shots
it is like the old "how many people you slept with..." some lie to sound like less of a whore, some lie to seem morelike a loser, except they are drunken idoits
