Someone needs some training. Pass the SFST and then test you on the PBT? What the hell is he going to do if he gets a reading on the tester greater than .08 when you already passed the former?
What happens if he gets NO reading after testing you for impairment?

Handcuffing the wife is BS too.

Typical Fed LE. Hired for some reason besides brainpower.

I think I will invite RODANDROLL fishing when I go to PINS. He is a lawyer in Kerrville. Shocked

I guess that's as good an endorsement of tourism on PINS/Corpus as one can get. If the lawyers won't go - who am I to chance it???

And that's the reason I don't go down there and I will never spend another dollar down there. Screw em.... I like law enforcement they have their place and most earn their pay check, but for every good one there are 3 jerks right behind him. I think the rangers are something like gs-02/04 level online trained rangers. Very Happy

They put my wife in cuffs for something like that I'm going to jail or getting shot, that's all I'm gonna say. If everything went down as you said, that is some bull poo poo right there.

I was stopped by customs about a year ago in the intercostal at humble channel. Real gestapo type attitude and line of questioning. "PUT YOUR BOAT IN CLUTCH" sorry, I've been boating for 30 years and didn't know what that meant. Asked for driver's licenses which luckily we all had on us. They asked where we were from, how we knew each other, where we were coming from, how long we had been out...Nothing really wrong with the questions except the tone and manner they were asking would have led you to believe we had a kilo of coke sitting on the deck. Seemed like they were trying to be intimidating for intimidations sake, hoping we would break.

IN contrast I was stopped by a Texas Game Warden a couple of weeks ago. He asked us to open all hatches adn ice chests, measured our smallest fish to make sure it was legal and to show him life jackets. I should have been ticketed because I was short an adult life jacket (i had grabbed a kid one instead) but he let me off. Even before he let me off I had noticed how professionally he conducted himself and appreciated that he was doing his job and still being respectful and courteous.

I went to the ranger station and talked to the he'd supervisor and he told me he would watch the video and talk to the other Rangers and let me know if it was justified to treat us the way he did. He seems very sincere and told me that if things like this happen and are not reported he has no idea there has been a problem. Every one that gets harassed needs to report it.

I go down PINS fairly regularly and have never had a bad encounter with those folks. I've heard stories more than once but somehow I rarely manage to get stopped at all. TP&W pulled in behind me and followed all the way to big shell (5 miles or so total) saturday but never so much as got close enough to get a good look at my plate.

The one time I did I was a passenger in a vehicle with no pass seat and had an open container. After a very respectful discussion from both myself and the rangers we were turned loose with little more than an empty beer can and a few words of warning.

I have to wonder why I never have problems with them while others seem to keep getting into these bad situations?

Trust me the last thing you want to do is tell LE that you or your buddy is an atty,,, best way to get cuffed and stuffed.

This is the first time i have had a problem with any law enforcement Rangers included. Every one on here that has meet us would agree that we treat everyone the way we would want to be treated. We were going down every weekend for about a year and a half. We always help people if they are stuck and have even gave people gas to get off the beach. I do not know if he had stop someone else and they had gave him a hard time but with that said it does not give him the right to treat us that way.
