Thoughts. My car got marked/chalked for sure last week by cops (I have the photo) I just noticed today. Anyone else ever experience this? And I'm not sure everyone is familiar with the practice even though cops play fucking naive about it. And not condoning drunk driving at all. It's just bull shit.

And no they can't see it while you're driving. The purpose is if the officer that marked it or another knows you were at a bar. I frequent my town bar for volleyball and trivia. Yes I drink and live only 1 minute away in a 35mph and 25 mph zone. I'm 3 beers deep sweating my ass off over 2 hours. So you get pulled over and on the driver side rear tire they make a marking of some sort. So if they pull you over later they know you were at a bar.

As someone that drinks responsibly at soon to be 40, with no DUI's and being responsible, it's fucking invasive as shit. My driving record is damn near perfection. Two speeding tickets 18 and under as a young man. No at fault wrecks and it was only one. Half the people I know have totaled a car sober.

I can't just go to a bar, have a couple beers, play volleyball or trivia without cops tracking me. I respect cops, but get fucked tracking me like that. Unhooked the trailer this morning and saw it. I'm making a fucking complaint with the village and country. It's illegal.

In the absence of a 5G omniscient Chicom social credit system, the gubment apparatchiks are inspired to do what they can to implement it any way possible, even if they have to use chalk/crayons..

parking guys chalk tires in places where it says max parking x hours. this way they come back after parking limit time, and if tire is marked you get a ticket. that’s not cops, parking nannies. cops don’t do that kind of work.

Let’s take a step back and view it from a different perspective. God forbid if you get into a fatal car accident while the other fucker is at fault, but you have alcohol in your blood, your life is over. Your loved ones will suffer too. It’s not worth it man. The cops are only doing their job.

Yes they do. 100%. Not 100% of cops but it for sure happens. So granny having a burger or pizza with her grandkids gets profiled because the joint sold booze. Cop pulls her over because of her glaucoma/bad vision and interrogates her that she's drinking because her tire is marked? This happens. She then has to go to court over a legal action.

Not how it works dude. My dad did DUI legal work. Your life isn't over. Almost everyone has trace amounts of alcohol in their system whether you drink or not. That's why the system is bull shit. https://www.abbeycarefoundation.com/alcohol/what-foods-contain-alcohol/#:~:text=alcohol%20%5B3%5D.-,Foods%20That%20Contain%20Alcohol%20(including%20ABV%20%5Balcohol%20by%20volume%5D,%2D0.5%25%20ABV%20%5B6%5D

Again, not condoning drinking and driving. There are far more legal drugs prescribed by docs that cause accidents than alcohol. This isn't debatable. The problem is when you mix. I take ZERO pills and haven't for a decade. I can have 4 light beers and can be under the legal limit. Just because it's in your system and a moron hits you, it doesn't end your life. That's not what happens.

Unless you're shit faced drunk. 0.3BAC for example, yes, you go to jail for manslaughter. If I get hit after 2 beers at 0.02% that guy goes to jail or pays me.

Note: I've never been pulled over since being 18. Turning 40. Sister is an attorney and dad was. I know what I'm talking about. It's why they created a legal limit and why I don't drink hard liquor, mixed drinks, wine, etc. I sip light beer while doing activities. At home, sure I'll pound some beers. My track record and frequency of going out is solid. I'm cocky, but I'm also probably one of the safest drivers in modern times. Never check texts. Don't answer the phone even on speaker. My head is on a swivel. Someone would have to intentionally crash into me. I used to drive 30-40k miles a year. I've seen enough.

I never heard of chalking tires in front of bars, but I've seen it done by parking monitors all the time, like Ft Wayne said.

There is no scientific method behind those numbers, they just keep walking them down everywhere so they can make more money and exert more control. Scientifically you are perfectly able to drive at 0.08 % which was the limit in many countries for a long time until politicians and bureaucrats decided to rob people of money and freedom. Also like you mentioned age and prescription and otc drugs do more damage to your driving than alcohol. While it's true that extremely high blood alcohol content has caused many fatal accidents, there is no evidence that low BAC causes any significant impairment. Still some people are more sensitive than others and need to totally avoid, but as usual that's no justification to bring everyone down to the lowest common denominator.

If you drink beyond any toddie or two a week, you are increasing the odds of your life fucking up in some way, either subtle, major or obvious. You are exchanging an enhanced across the board risk for your temporary pleasures. Even if you just go out and do gardening and cut your finger, or operate some machinery that can hurt you or lose your head when you should have kept it.

That doesn't mean somebody hasn't 'gotten away' with it somewhere. There are drunks who drive for years with blood alcohol higher than 0.1 and don't get caught. That doesn't mean that there is not an erosion or realized risk in some other aspects of their lives.

People gamble and lose all the time, it's in the temperament of many people. Drinking is another gamble increasing the odds against the drinker. Do something that has a one in a thousand risk a couple of thousand times, then it'll happen sooner or later.

Yes, it's been pretty well known that an easy collar for cops is just going to a bar at closing time and arresting somebody staggering out who climbs into their car. Yes, they do catalog the license plates of known alcohol offenders. In California, they have been known to cop stalk known drinking offenders following them around.

You drove your vehicle somewhere, had some alcohol, then drove some more, and shared those facts on social media.

Some things are better left unsaid.

Irony is so many cops themselves are problem drinkers, treating their PTSD. Doesn't mean that drinkers aren't an easy ticketing harvest for them.

I know a family that does candy all the time. On government dime. They have a car. I reckon that there are many people like this. And yet wokeism is a priority.

Sometimes for amusement I watch YouTube videos of traffic stops and enraged drivers who end up in handcuffs.
It's strangely satisfying.
The best are black chicks who fight.
Second best is when a guy gets tasered.

Meanwhile my city is busy sending the fingerprints and profiles of unvaccinated teachers (and probably LEO/firefighters etc) to the FBI. Everyone's worried about different things I suppose.

Sending them to gas chamber is their next step! Meanwhile WHO said that they are ready with their next virus (named X for now).

This should be true at least the hood around. Affects out of CA 1978 Prop 13 lack of no more new building, people are crammed into a place around and park so many vehicle on some streets (based on nextdoor app that I used previously). I guess neighbors (love/hate) call city workers to mark tires to tow away after 72 hours. Lol! Its a win-win situation! ;)
