33. The man blew 0.02% blood alcohol. That tells me right there this was a jam job by a park ranger

...with a hard-on to take Bruce Springsteen down a notch. I was a cop. Any idiot can tell that somebody with that little booze in them isn't drunk.

I find it telling it was during November 2020. Most LEOs (law enf. officers) are conservative, many of them very conservative.

Charging someone who blows an 0.02% with DWI anyway is, IMO, unethical.

All the rest is just chatter.

That's what I thought, when he claimed Bruce had glassy eyes -- whatever the heck pnwmom Feb 2021 #2

Well, that was prudent ... if he had just had 2 shots, the breathalyzer might well read much Hugh_Lebowski Feb 2021 #3

This has to had to have been a plea deal. no_hypocrisy Feb 2021 #4

I think he pled guilty to consuming alcohol in his car, which Hoyt Feb 2021 #5

You're correct. no_hypocrisy Feb 2021 #6

He was on his motorcycle questionseverything Feb 2021 #7

Thanks. Must have got it confused with his Jeep commercial. Thought he Hoyt Feb 2021 #8

There's a bar in Sandy Hook, so not entirely illegal to drink alcohol in the park Dorian Gray Feb 2021 #24

In the winter, the park is open 5 am to 8 pm. It's just closed for drinking. Klaralven Feb 2021 #26

He pled guilty to drinking in a park. Demsrule86 Feb 2021 #13

No - He pleaded guilty to drinking in a public park Jersey Devil Feb 2021 #20

But Bruce never should have BEEN charged with DWI (.10+ BAC) to begin with! Rocknation Feb 2021 #10

Are you implying that he did more than what he pled to? I don't believe it. pnwmom Feb 2021 #11

When you make a plea deal, it usually doesn't resemble the Truth. no_hypocrisy Feb 2021 #12

There is no plea deal. They would have lost a DUI trial. He wasn't drunk. Demsrule86 Feb 2021 #14

You start with DUI and after making a deal with the prosecutor and the cop and the judge, no_hypocrisy Feb 2021 #15

The fact that they started with a DUI doesn't mean he did anything to deserve that charge. pnwmom Feb 2021 #17

True. In all likelihood the proscutor moved for dismissal Jersey Devil Feb 2021 #21

There is no evidence that he made a plea "deal." He simply pled to the charge pnwmom Feb 2021 #16

You'd be surprised how truth and fiction get played with in a prosecutor's office. no_hypocrisy Feb 2021 #18

Sure, but that does not happen with DWI offenses Jersey Devil Feb 2021 #22

Thank you for illustrating the widespread corruption inherent in US justice Roisin Ni Fiachra Feb 2021 #23

I understand that. But it also doesn't prove that Bruce did anything more than pnwmom Feb 2021 #27

And that is the problems inherent in The System. no_hypocrisy Feb 2021 #28

I heard, Corgigal Feb 2021 #19

Even if we're just drinking in the park. speak easy Feb 2021 #29

Perfect... Corgigal Feb 2021 #30

I'm pissed Jeep pulled Bruce's unity ad. Did they ever restore it now that the truth is out? onetexan Feb 2021 #25

Jeep said that they're going to restore it Rocknation Feb 2021 #31
