Agreed, everyone should just be allowed to drive drunk. Would really improve the country

Because in this instance you are incorrect about this group of police officers and I meant best for everyone because I'm too lazy to type the many examples of their enjoyment of busting drinking in all forms in Lafayette County.

You only hit bale's of hay or maybe run through a fence in the 'Sip.
You just sleep it off in your car then go up to the homeowner. Fix the fence and afterwards you drink some sweet tea while sitting in a rocking chair.

Yes, maybe in a perfect world that would all be true

Many examples? From your posts you sure do make that sound like a shitty fricking existence. Just throngs of examples from your friends and families, recounting their latest DUI charge around the campfire at night.

Yes because that's exactly what I meant by that post. You've been on this site long enough to have witnessed on more than one occasion the amount of disdain held towards the OPD. It's not some big secret that they suck it's just a fact.

Had a local attorney teach a law class when I was at Ole Miss almost a decade ago. He told us that police officers in Oxford purposely target cars with student parking stickers on them late at night. There is good chance that a person with a student parking sticker is under 21 and being late at night, also drinking. Just wait for a minor violation (no turn signal, cross a line, etc.) and they get a minor in possession with a DUI since you only have to blow a .02 to get a DUI if you're underage.
In my case, I got pulled over for "taking a turn too quickly" when I turned into Taco Bell. I hadn't been drinking, so I was in the clear, but they were clearly looking for DUIs and MIPs.

In any case, Speaks arrest was "suspicion" because they got him before he even started driving. They arrested him as he got in his car. Was he going to drive? Probably. But that also kind of shows you how aggressive the cops in Oxford are towards DUIs. They targeted him and waited for him to enter his car to make an arrest.

Ok, let's see a show of hands... "How many of you readers ever drove a car under the influence of alcohol while in college?"
Let's see... one hundred, two hundred... OMG! OK, change question..."How many of you readers did NOT drive a car under the influence of alcohol while in college?"
Com'on, surely there is one of you.. somewhere, at some time in history... com'on someone raise their hand.

I know that was sarcasm but cops are cops anywhere and they live to annoy those they deem as having more status and privilege than they do. Whether it's Oxford, Starkville or Tuscaloosa a cop will target a popular or socially enhanced person in a heartbeat.

I have a thousand stories too about how cops look for students and drunk driving. That's expected.
It's likely a priority for OPD to bust drunk drivers. However, none of that dismisses the fact that it's a bitch for a DUI charge to reach a conviction and it's not any easier in a college town where everyone knows a lawyer.
My freshman roomate in Auburn literally blew a .081. The cop made him sit in the car until he blew a .079 and let him go. It's tough to let someone go once they refuse the breathalyzer or blow considerably over the limit. Cops then have to dredge through the process

Your roommate was lucky as hell. I can promise you that wouldn't happen here. Seriously

Yep.
Fwiw, it's pretty clear that this isn't a big deal. He'll plead down, do community service over the summer and be on the field in the fall.

I've never heard of any college police department that isn't universally loathed by students and outsiders. I doubt Oxford is any different/worse than the rest
