White Liberal Privilege: Bruce Springsteen DWI charges dismissed

[theHawk]

Must be nice to be a rich white liberal.

He was driving recklessly, and:

"SPRINGSTEEN smelt strongly of alcohol coming off his person and had glassy eyes," the officer said in the statement, adding he "was visibly swaying back and forth while I observed his eyes."
Springsteen, according to the officer, took 45 steps during the "walk and turn" test "instead of the instructed 18."

If he was a Country Musician/singer his "offense' would be all over the Rolling Stone idiots pages.

He got off because he is a flaming liberal and a good friend of Obama

The left crucified Mel Gibson, Randy Travis, Glen Campbell, Nick Nolte and others for the same thing. No mug shots of "The Boss"?

"The evidence we reviewed indicates that after the defendant's arrest, he submitted to a breath test at the ranger station, and his BAC reading was .02, which as the court is aware is well under the legal limit of .08," Baker said.

He blew an .02. How where they going to convict him?

It was despicable watching people like you minimize the dangers of drunk driving because a lefty got caught.

reckless driving?

Springsteen is a great musician and performer but his politics and elitism suck. It would be nice if he'd just shut up.

That was at the station after the fact. Not known how much time passed. He was driving recklessly and failed the sobriety test on the spot.

Even more, it was a federal offense. That's quickly being scrubbed from the internet, but I did find this...

"A DWI in a national park is a misdemeanor federal offense, carrying a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a fines up to $5,000. Probation can also be up to five years.."

Bruce Springsteen busted for DWI, reckless driving back in November

I don't know. They couldn't convict him of DUI which is what he was also charged with. Without video or evidence the word of police officers don't hold the sway it once did.

Did he win a Nobel Peace prize along with it or do you have to blow up a country like Libya to win that?

Wrong.

The thread premise is a lie.

The case has nothing to do with Springsteen’s political beliefs.

In addition to the breathalyzer test being below the legal limit, the field sobriety test is not appropriate for persons over 60:

“In Seplowitz's experience, most people, impaired or not, have trouble with the second and third tests, and for people who are 65 or older -- Springsteen is 71 -- NHTSA recommends that those tests are unreliable because at that age balance might not be an accurate way to gauge whether you've been drinking.”

This thread is yet another example of how dishonest conservatives truly are.

Like most on the right you’re a liar; the notion that ‘liberals’ are afforded ‘special treatment’ is a lie.

 

[struth]

My understanding is he blew like a .02 or something well below the legal limit, so I am not surprised the DUI was dropped. I have no idea about the reckless or how he was driving.

But frankly, I wouldn't want to be the NJ State Trooper that pulled over the Boss in NJ and arrested him. I could careless about his political views, he's the Boss when it comes to music.
