Is there a motorized vehicle out there that some jackass HASN’T gotten a DWI while operating?

You don’t even need a motor to get a DUI! Bikes and other human-powered road-legal vehicles are also subject to DUI laws (although it’s much much much more rarely enforced). I think … which bordering state was it that just legalised drunk horseriding (and possibly biking?)? Most states that sort of thing is still illegal, though.

Also:
Oh, and authorities confiscated his scooter.

When’s the police auction???

South Dakota just legalized drunk bike and horseback riding.

Selling lemonade is nice, but how about arresting the guy selling crack at the lunch hour today in the alley next to Witt’s Liquor on 7th & Hennepin?

Again with this sense of self-entitlement.

Why shouldn’t someone get a DUI if they’re drunk on a bicycle?

Why do bicyclists seem to think they are above the law?

I don’t get it.

Can the horse be drunk?

I wonder if the Chicago PD does the same when giving out lemonade to the general public? Either that, I must be living in the “Twlight Zone” these days.
