    Breath tested 3 times in 3/4hr

    My Eldest son was breath tested 3 times in a 3/4 hour period. He was doing home deliveries for his part time job at a restuarant. Being local deliveries he had to pass the booze bus every time. The 2nd and 3rd test was done by the same cop. My son was going to ask the cop if he and his mates want to put in an order as he will be back shortly.

    Probably just a "numbers" thing for the cops. They can go back and say they done x amount of breath tests on that shift. Yes, I've been breath tested 3 times in a couple of hours one night and when I said to the cop "this is the 3rd time I've been tested tonight", she said "yeah, and it may not be the last".

    Many many years ago, I was stopped 6 times in about 1/2 hour, I told the last officer that if they stopped me again that night I would lodge a complaint for harassment. I do not know if it was just luck or if it was the threat of harassment but I didn't get pulled over for the rest of the night despite driving through the blitz areas, they would go to pull me in and then see the car and then wave me around.

    Although I used to get pulled over coming home at 5 am every Wednesday Thursday and Friday. It really p'd them off as I would be sober (just knocked off work) and would spot them "a mile off" and I would pull over and have my licence out and be waiting by the curb for them to pull up. The would always ask "did you spot us?"

    I've got nothing to complain about being pulled over the statistics in our region show there are a lot of unlicenced and drunk drivers getting around, these turkeys need to be weeded out and taken off the road so I can feel a little safer driving knowing that I won't have contact with these turkeys.
    If you have nothing to hide whats a couple of seconds inconvenience.

    Now that Maccas is finished I thought this lot had moved on to the West link.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    Had the same thing.

    4 times in one night. I was doing security patrols at the time, and had to pass the same point & got waved in each time.

    Another time, was the week before Christmas, and I was pulled over 3 times, in 3 different locations. I didn't mind, as I knew that i hadnt had a drink for about a week...

    LOL!!! Maccas is not finished yet, but is dying and agonising slow death, the very few patrons make it a very unprofitable business.

    Dont mind being breath tested but seems excessive. Most officers will wave you through if you are repeatedly pass through in short time frames. Especially in work vehicles.
