I could understand it if the cops waited outside, and arrested people who really were about to drive when drunk - that way, they might have caught some real culprits. But to arrest people in a bar, many of whom don't have the slightest intention to drive that evening? I don't know if I should laugh or cry...

In Wisconsin, we have a way around that. We call it the "designated decoy." A person who is only slightly intoxicated leaves first, and is told to "drive dangerously, draw the cops." Then all the drunks leave while the cops are following someone who will not get a DUI.

Anybody else concerned that ODJ hasn't been around much lately, and now we see news of drunk Texans getting arrested within bars?

I mean...honestly....anybody else adding two and two here?
