Bruce Springsteen....Bombed in the USA?

[TBBills]

I don't get is he was actually under the legal limit in NJ.

 

The limit in NJ is .08... He blew a .02

Yeah, a clear case of some overzealous cop harassing The Boss... of course The Post is all over this one...

.08 is simply the legal threshold, technically anything over .00 is considered DUI, this sounds pretty stupid though, allegedly.  Took a shot with some fans who flagged him down for a picture, a park police saw him and went over and arrested him.

 

Awesome. I'd like to buy that park policeman a drink.

If you know you're gonna fail... ALWAYS refuse the breathalyzer.  Why give them evidence to use against you.   Every minute is your friend... 

[Wacka]

Because they will take you to the station and give you one there or if you say no there, a blood test.  Refusing a breathalyzed is an automatic suspension.

When folks tell you that they had 2 shots or 2 drinks, you know what that usually means. 

 

That he’s a commie?

This one's for you Bruce:

This news story really bothers me for several reasons:

• The arrest happened back in November.  Shame on TMZ for sitting on it and waiting to release after the Superbowl Ad.
• And shame on Jeep too, did they not dig through Bruce's career and arrest record before having him be the front man for their ad?
• Continuing with the shame train, if .02 can get you arrested, why don't we just make it 0.0.  Shame on the cops, lawyers, and lawmakers.  While I don't condone drunk driving having a silly limit where essentially drinking two drinks puts you over, then whats the point?  Why not install those breathalyzers in every car ignition to make sure no one driving is dunk?
• Lastly, shame on me for reading these articles and caring.  This isn't even a news story.  Any person who has drunk alcohol has driven over the limit at some point in their lives.  You park outside any bar and you could give 9/10 people DUIs.

He had a vital virtual opening performance to do on 1/20/21. 

 

Coincidence his arrest was suppressed?

If they like/support you, the press can hide a lot.  But only for so long.

Quote

As part of a pre-hearing agreement between U.S. attorneys and Springsteen’s legal team, Springsteen agreed to plead guilty to consuming alcohol in a closed area — during the hearing, Springsteen admitted to having “two small shots of tequila” — at the Gateway National Recreation Area.

However, as the judge overseeing the case noted, up until three summers ago, alcohol consumption was allowable at the Sandy Hook, New Jersey, park.

Quote

After pleading guilty to the consuming alcohol in a closed area charge, Springsteen, who has no prior criminal history, was handed down a $500 fine. When asked how long he needed to pay the fine, Springsteen told the judge, “I think I can pay that immediately, your Honor.”

Does this mean the Jeep add can go back up?

Thank goodness there was no Go Fund Me appeal. My wife almost cancelled our main credit card after so many charges she didn’t recognize. I told her if it’s $17 and you don’t recognize it, check with me.
