97 prior arrests sounds like police harrassment, not illegal behavior.

logic this through with me. if he'd been convicted, there would be a hell of a lot fewer arrests.

Under other circumstances, I might agree with you, but the guy built a bong into his dashboard.

That's an impressive level of commitment to DUI.

it's not convictions, it's arrests. after i'd been arrested (not convicted) 60 times, fuck obeying the law. the social contract broke.

Yeah I was agreeing, but in a fuck the police way. Seriously how did he get to 90 arrests. After 10 they should have had social services there to see why and how they could help. You can't get to that many arrests without police intentionally fucking up the prosecution to let him go and arrest him again.

Where in the dash was it built? Maybe our hero is the designated driver with a passion for making sure that passengers riding shotgun never have to be sober.
