Hey,
I had a similar situation. Walking home from the bar (wasnt all that drunk either, wasnt stubmling, or anything.) The cop had seen me leave the bar earlier and caught up with me a few blocks later. He gave me a sobriety test (after I told him I had been drinking). Anyways he gave me the ticket and I still had to finish walking home.
I went to court. I was going to plead not guilty, but the judge asked me about it. I told the judge that I spent all my money at the bar so I could not get a cab. I had 2 choices, walk home or driver home. So I chose to walk home.
Judge dismissed it.
Thats my exp.

that's pretty messed up. i would figure the authorities would be more lenient when it comes to those who choose to walk home and are intoxicated. i mean, it's a lot smarter than trying to drive under the influence. if it was a slow night and i was the cop, i would offer to give somebody a quick lift home.

yea i had no money for a taxi. i was drunk as shit but... i was walking fine. i never got any kind of test... no breath/blood/urine. so i think i can get out of it. the cops where being dicks to. i had already walked a half mile so i was sobering up. i had like 3 blocks left. i asked the cop please just give me a ride home. it was a no go
any other input

Do what Lookingforastang did. Go to court, plead guilty, and hope the judge is sympathetic. Point out it was either drive home or walk home, and you chose the best desicion. Obviously you weren't fighting or being a nucence so I don't see why they would be hard on you.

Roseville/Rocklin cops are HORRIBLE we have NO crime here so they are really bored and will fuck with anybody who is out walking at night, they say that if you are innocent you wouldn't be out walking at night but they are up at 3 in the morning so why can't I be? I THOUGHT we had freedoms here

There are some cops here that suck balls but others seem cool. I got pulled over 3 times here and got out of it. Once they got me for speeding, I said that I had a tire that wouldnt hold air and was trying to get to my shop before it went flat again. Another time one got me for running a stop sign, I did stop but started to turn left then went right so all he saw was me come around the corner. I explained what happened and he let me go. The last time I got nabbed by a motorcycle cop for speeding. He pulled me over and asked me how fast I was going so I told him about 5 over. He said it was a bit more than that but he didnt get an accurate radar lock on my car so I was free to go. A lot of it depends on how you treat the cops when your pulled over..... the whole "fuck you" attitude towards a cop wont win you any points at all.

I heard cops out their are horrible just looking to catch people. Girl i worked w got dui while sitting in the car she has aa classes fees and fine and gonna spend a couple days in jail bc she refusing to do community service. She wasted money and a lawyer that did nothing for her so i would probably just save my money and do liek they said tell the judge u thought u were doing the right thing by choosing to walk rather then drive and obviously u werent shit face stubbling around u were able to talk to the cops and still walk home and for being 21 that is responsible all the 21 yr olds i know wouldve drove soo just think positive ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Roseville, Rocklin and Folsom are some of the worst PD's for being dicks. Just like somebody else said they have nothing better to do. I love how there will somebody with a cop stoped for walking late and then 1 minute later the whole police force will be there for like 1 maybe 2 guys. When I got pulled over in Folsom, there was three cop cars there. and they told the forth and fith car that they had it under control.
I know I live right down the street from a bar I like to go to and I know I will be walking home. If they rather me drive I will. I would take my chances with the judge on this. As long as you arn't causing trouble or bothering people then I think your free and clear.

You left out the part of giving them hand jobs before they let you go!!!!

I wanna say that cops in college towns wont really bother with drunk people walking on the streets as long as they arent causing a ruckess.

1) Were you drunk?
If the answer is/was yes then you need to start taking responsibility for your own actions now that you're "21". So let's get this straight...you had enough money to get hammered out of your mind but couldn't afford a cab ride home? Make arrangements prior to your going out on the town if you plan to become intoxicated.
2) As per California law:
California Penal Code Section 647 (f) provides that it is illegal to be in any public place under the influence of intoxicating liquor (or combination of liquor and drugs), in such a condition that he or she is unable to exercise care for his or her own safety or the safety of others, or by reason of his or her being under the influence of intoxicating liquor (or drugs), interferes with or obstructs or prevents the free use of any street, sidewalk, or other public way.
My advise would be chalk it up to a life lesson learned and move on. The more you make posts about this kind of shit the more people will look at you like a moron. Deal with personal matters in private, unless you want the entire population of the internet viewing you as an idiot.

I got pulled over in Folsom by a PD when I was riding my supermoto. He said my exhaust and tail light were modified, but they are completely stock. Then he went over all my paperwork and got testy when he found out my DMV info is blocked. Then he asked why I rode out all the way to Folsom from Elk Grove, I said just for a sunday ride, going up to Salmon Falls, and to sum up his response...... stay out of Folsom, I didnt' need to be there, if he see's me again my bike will go bye bye.

Actually I rarely drink and when I do it's less than a six pack and in the comfort of my own home.
