Saw a guy in italy almost ram a cop car atan intersection. I think the driver was running a red light, but could have been the cop running a red. Anyhow, the driver breaks just before the cop car, and the cop on the passanger side just gesticulates his discontent but they just keep rolling on anyway. They could not be bothered.

Are you saying you want more active enforcement?
meowMix2525@lemm.ee 5 days ago
Italian drivers are fucking insane, it was probably just Tuesday for the cop

You’ll 100% be on national news if you do this in South Korea.

Sounds hard to believe. Or maybe the cops in my city have less empathy.
If you were conscious but stabbed, a police officer would absolutely spend a few minutes writing a report while waiting for paramedics.
Driving while intoxicated, they might still fine you for that.
If you were brown and drunk, they’d probably arrest you.
If you were brown, drunk, and the knife was within arms reach, you’d be tasted and arrested for assaulting the officer.
The point I’m trying to make: being stabbed does not stop a police officer from doing their favorite job in the world — beating innocent people.

Depends, cops also HATE fucking working if they got some where to be.
I’ve seen city cops in fact, let off some pretty bad drink driving just because they don’t want to deal with it.

Tasted

Image from the funniest part of a movie that I won’t spoil because I was surprised and wish I could watch it again for the first time.
meowMix2525@lemm.ee 5 days ago
What movie?
mumblerfish@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Burn After Reading m.imdb.com/title/tt0887883/

Pretty sure he is talking about Burn After Reading, the green text image is from that movie.

I accidentally spoiled that part for my wife. I had already seen it several times before and was watching it again with her. She had her head on my chest and apparently my heart started beating faster at the ramp up to that part, so she knew what was about to happen and called it right before it happened.

Must have been in Europe. I’m America the cop woulda shot him. Also probably smelled the booze. Also as an American over never been drunk enough (not even when I had alcohol poisoning that one time) to think theat such legal consequences would be cheaper than a trip to the hospital.
Fun fact, hospitals routinely do tox screens. OP isn’t just a bullshitter, he’s a bad bullshitter lol
uienia@lemmy.world 5 days ago
It seems to me that drunk driving is much more accepted in the US than in Europe.
funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 5 days ago
Having lived in both - often having a have pint of 4%. lager is enough to prevent people from driving, in the US having two pints of 7.5% IPA and smoking weed wouldn’t been seen as unusual before a 30 min drive home.
CleoTheWizard@lemmy.world 5 days ago
It definitely is. Public transportation is basically never an option and Ubers are expensive so most Americans don’t even think about those options. Then there are other problems like Americans not forcing their friends to stay the night when drunk, not having dependable social circles, and a lot of rural folk thinking that no one will be on the roads anyways. It’s a mess is what it is, haven’t even been able to stop family from doing it.

Unfortunately not everywhere in Europe…source: am Austrian and our peoples attitude to drunk driving is fucked up
Maalus@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Or yaknow it doesn’t matter that he is shitfaced, he is having a medical emergency. In that case nobody would think “oh no he drank alcohol he should’ve walked to the hospital”.
Noobnarski@lemmy.world 5 days ago
In Europe nobody in their right mind would drive themselves to the hospital if they have an emergency. Sometimes it makes sense if someone else drives the injured person there, but most of the time we would just call an ambulance. Here in Germany you have to pay 10€ at most for one trip.
where_am_i@sh.itjust.works 5 days ago
No, in Europe this would’ve immediately triggered a criminal investigation.
“Someone’s been stabbed and they casually drive to the hospital cuz ambulance is too expensive, this is regular day stuff lemme give them a ride” is only a normal occurance in the US and Lebanon.
zeppo@lemmy.world 4 days ago
It’s a greentext. The default is to assume it’s BS.
Dasus@lemmy.world 4 days ago

Yeah, when there’s a medical need.
scytale@lemm.ee 5 days ago
Then he gets a 100k hospital bill later.
Cort@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Only 75k since he didn’t have to take an ambulance
Gullible@sh.itjust.works 5 days ago
Long-term, I honestly don’t know whether this is the cheaper option. DUIs make insurance pricy.
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 5 days ago
Still not in jail.
BreadOven@lemmy.world 5 days ago
In the states.
ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 5 days ago
Anywhere else the cop would ask why tf didn’t you just take an ambulance like a normal person
Psythik@lemmy.world 4 days ago
You’re also not legally required to pay medical bills in the states.
Psythik@lemmy.world 4 days ago
You can just ignore hospital bills, and they can’t refuse treatment if you don’t pay.
So don’t worry about it; throw the bills in the trash, block the debt collectors’ numbers, and carry on with your life. I have been doing this for over 30 years now.
