Everytime I buy beer no one scans anything.

So what happens when you set the case on the scale and the thing says "please wait for assistance"

Great tip. Here are some more:

- Cover your license plates with mud before you get gas at an full-service station. Tell the attendant you are paying cash and once he fills you up, drive away.

- If you need to withdraw money, but don't have enough in your bank account, go to a different bank and slip the teller a note saying you have a gun. (You don't actually have to have a gun)

- The security device on most over the counter medications is on the inside of the outer box. Remove the pill bottle from the box and slip it in to your pocket, you can then leave the store undetected.

- If you are short on cash but a lousy pick-pocket, try stealing from the elderly, they are less aware and won't notice when you slash their back pockets or purse strings.

if you like to drink, keep a fifth of whiskey in your glove box.

when/if pulled over while drinking, step outside of the car, crack open the fifth and take a swig or two.

if you fail the sobriety test (or refuse it) you can provide reasonable doubt as to when you got drunk. you can defend yourself saying that it was after you had pulled over and gotten out from behind the wheel. reasonable doubt = acquittal

(also works for wrecking near home, walking home, pouring a cocktail, then calling the cops...so you dont get arrested for leaving the scene or drunk driving...b/c you could have gotten drunk when you got home)

All it takes is the officer to state that you looked/acted/smelled like you were inebriated when he saw you which is enough to overcome your 'reasonable doubt'.

Also, if you wreck and walk home and claim you were in shock so started drinking you will get hit with leaving the scene (why wouldn't you?) and you will still likely get DUI related charges.

i don't think you understand what reasonable doubt it.

under a 'normal' scenario (pulled over, get out to do sobriety check, refuse to blow, etc...) if he says you looked/seemed inebriated, then he can give you a dui.

but if he can't prove if it happened after you were driving (when you got out) then there is reasonable doubt. this has worked and i didn't make it up.

ask a dui attorney....all they try to do is introduce any reasonable doubt to get it dropped (sometimes very unusual, like this).

I don't know about you, but I don't get drunk within 2 seconds.

Care to prop bet on whether the majority of a random sample of DUI attorneys will think this is a good idea?

If the alcohol thing isn't a level it's one of the dumbest posts in OOT history. Either way I can't believe people are giving it serious argument.

It's a very common myth taught in OOTLaw 101: "Someone told me this sometime."

When I lived in Detroit a buddy of mine alledgedly got his DUI dropped for nonsense like this. He kept his in the bed of his truck though, and almost got shot when he went reaching for his bottle. (again, alledgedly) Probably more Urban Legend than anything

Better life tip would be taking a cab

And it generally involves thumbing your nose at a cop in some way that a) 99.9% of OOT would never have the balls to try b) wouldn't work anyway and c) they could probably get out of if they just plan nice and kiss the cop's ass.

Cop: "Ok well I'm just going to let you off with a warn... hey what the... ?"

OOTard: "Ha ha I'm chugging a bottle of whiskey. All the alcohol in my system came from that. Prove it didn't!"

If you're putting your soap into another bottle to water it down, add the water first, then add the soap to avoid a bubbling overflow.

At the self scan thing every onion or apple I buy is the cheapest kind of apple or onion they sell. I've been eating Braeburns at Red Delicious prices for years. Sadly this is not a level.

I wonder if it's an urban legend intentionally spread by cops for the lulz, like "undercover cops have to tell you they are cops if you ask".

No but they apparently aren't allowed to say "No, I ain't the pohh-lice" emphasis on the pohh part. I know because many shady drug deals have been validated and completed upon utterance of this simple statement.
