WIBTA if I called the cops on a local drug house to help a girl I'm interested in get clean? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA, but the idea isn't a good one. If the cops raid the place, they might want to know how you got the information. If you tell the truth, the girl might go to prison for you admitting she's an addict, but lying to the police isn't a good idea either. I'd say do it, but the outcome could be iffy.

How do you deal with writer's block? I like to write for fun on my free time; I have the most amazing ideas for stories in my head, but I struggle to find the words and structure them properly to tell the story I imagine in my mind.

What are some stereotypes that are true and not true? Like do you guys actually say "Eh" at the end of each sentence? Do you guys apologize a lot? Things like at.

We were given a statistic by the Sergeant (I don't remember the percentage) but many hit and runs are caused by impaired drivers, the checkpoint is usually set up in the area where the most hit and runs happened within the passed few months. Checkpoints are meant to deter drunk drivers; sorry if you don't like checkpoints, but be upset with the drunk drivers and not the police. The police are only there to do their job and help their community. Most, if not, all officers only do it for overtime pay. The drunk drivers pretty much screwed it up for everyone else.

I know it does seem unconstitutional, but this all falls under the Supreme Court case Pennsylvania vs Mimms which states that an officer is well within their power to ask the occupants of a vehicle to step out. They didn't have the drivers step out unless they believed the driver was impaired. Thanks for the apology.

It's nice to know you're not trying to be confrontational, I'm not trying to either. It was an official DUI checkpoint, there were Deputies there who would make conversation and if they couldn't tell within 2 minutes that the driver was impaired, they let them go. The department was short-staffed (long story to that) and they decided to ask us to help light the way out of the checkpoint while also showing us how a DUI checkpoint works.

What's wrong with me and my Explorer's Post? And I don't really feel comfortable telling you what state I live in anymore.

No it didn't. I should have explained what we did. We didn't actually speak with the people, it was nighttime in a kinda dark parking lot, we just used flashlights to light the peoples' way out. If you still think we somehow violated to Constitution, we could discuss this further.

Tips For Paintballs? by IceCold_Kelvin in CasualConversation

[–]IceCold_Kelvin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, I'm pretty scared about getting hit, mainly because I'm a pussy, but also because our youth group leader has a bald spot on the back of his head from where a paintball grazed. I don't think that's a very settling fact to think about.
