In Reply to: Guy in tractor versus State Police - Tractor guy wins posted by jdemaris on September 29, 2013 at 18:14:38:

Having been a New York State Trooper for better than 20 years I will make a couple of observations-

1- There's a lot more to this than the story is telling. Unless things have changed immensely in the 5 years I've been retired there is no way a Trooper would charge anyone with DWI, Felony or not, for sleeping in a tractor on his own land, drunk or not. There had to have either been a complaint from a 3rd party (most likely) or the guy had to have been driving it around on or near a road. The whole story is full of holes. Going on private property to make a summary arrest for DWI while sleeping in a tractor? Nope, there's a lot more here that isn't being told.

2- No, todays Troopers are not the guys you got 20, 30 or 40 years back. Not on the whole. That's why old dinosaurs like me had to inform them of things like the difference between a Motor Vehicle and an Implement of Husbandry, ie- car and tractor. Unfortunately there are less and less rural people on the job or, more importantly, training these kids. They only know what they are taught.

3- Laws vary from state to state so what you do in a parking lot in one state may not be illegal, while it is in another state.

4- The Felony thing- Felony DWI charges are based on the individuals history as shown through NYSPIN and NCIC records. It is entirely possible a court incorrectly reported a DWAI conviction as DWI conviction, which would carry a Felony charge or it's also possible he was never charged with a Felony in the first place and the paper got it completely wrong. Just because the guys slime ball lawyer says something doesn't make it fact. Remember OJ?

5- I don't know what happened, but the guy sounds like a drunk to me.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny ... [Read Article]
