I was not aware that operating a motor vehicle NOT on a public street while intoxicated fell under the prohibition of that statute. In California for decades that was the reason you could go to Pismo Beach, one of the few beaches where vehicles with ordinary street tires could be driven on the sand, and drink and drive. Pismo Beach was not a public roadway, so it was legal until sometime in the 90's I'm surprised that the moonlighting officer did not strive to drive (sorry) the donut drivers onto the public street so as to be arrested for driving on a public roadway. <br /><br />2. "Despite never leaving the parking lot." And here we thought the parking lot chase scene in "Diamonds are forever" was complete fiction.Windy Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01951254236693386401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-1648671362811809192012-11-30T14:25:11.394-05:002012-11-30T14:25:11.394-05:00Some years ago, the San Francisco Police were look...Some years ago, the San Francisco Police were looking for a replacement for the big sedans that were slated to go out of production. They foolishly decided to check out the Explorer, instead of the wider, much more stable Expedition model. Two officers then proceeded to roll one in a parking lot during the trials. They ended up with a stay in the hospital as a result.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-35842226670103551872012-11-30T14:16:04.761-05:002012-11-30T14:16:04.761-05:00I'm guessing Chevy Tahoe.

There should not have been enough spring in the body/frame to bounce it back onto the drivers side as shown. Makes me think they were actually heading toward the camera originally, and the momentum spun them around after the tree strike.<br />If the strike point had been a foot farther back on the vehicle, they would have gone directly into body bags.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-26492986228657481732012-11-30T13:27:32.965-05:002012-11-30T13:27:32.965-05:00The article leaves out important facts like the BA...The article leaves out important facts like the BAC of the driver, the passenger, and the officer.Armed Texanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04503281970335620895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-736457467395039572012-11-30T13:26:40.246-05:002012-11-30T13:26:40.246-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Armed Texanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04503281970335620895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-50435083759435737952012-11-30T12:04:27.356-05:002012-11-30T12:04:27.356-05:00So were they hired?So were they hired?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-61717697755378658622012-11-30T12:01:41.240-05:002012-11-30T12:01:41.240-05:00This is the rest of the country.
