I do not believe they can charge someone with a traffic violation based on hearsay (a phoned report) but perhaps I am incorrect here? I personally would not want to be able to be charged with something because Citizen Cathy called the police and reported that I was driving 80 mpg in a 45 mpg zone and driving erratically, unless there were some corroborating evidence of this. According to some reports someone phoned in that EO was switching lanes erratically. A deputy spotted the vehicle and was trailing doing 80 in a 45 and observed him passing in a no passing zone. https://www.khou.com/article/news/crime/court-records-buffalo-bills-ed-oliver-admitted-to-drinking-taking-adderall-prior-to-houston-dwi-arrest/285-df7cfad6-f1d3-422b-bab3-9e99dbe845c5 The beer Ed drank was at 1 PM, a beer can was in the door, not between his legs. Perhaps after he drank the beer at 1 PM he left the empty can in the door? One of these articles says he blew a 0.0 in the field, also that the DWI unit was called to the scene. If that's all true then they took him in for bloodwork over potential adderall. I can see them cutting him a break on the empty can with a spotless breathalyzer and blood test, can't understand why not a speeding ticket? Maybe the officer never actually matched his speed before pulling him over. Good for EO! 1

plenzmd1 Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 i must say, reading the original thread and then reading this, it is awesome to see attitudes change for the better. And i do mean that sincerely. 1

Maybe using three tiny's was hyperbole... But everybody uses hyperbole to get their point across My point is it is a very distinct minority that are vocally racist, across all ethnicities And they always scream the loudest I have always respected you and your opinion Shaw and that doesn't change Edited July 22, 2020 by Buffalo716 1

And since you actually asked I was with a white friend, when he got pulled over for driving in the wrong neighborhood being white.. detained for 45 minutes and had his car searched for drugs with no basis other than he was from the suburbs and in the hood I wouldnt even tell that story but since you asked
