Pretty confident he could have afforded an Uber.

How does someone with that much money not just have a driver on staff? No excuse for anyone to drive drunk, but especially someone that rich.

No excuse for anyone to drink and drive much less someone as wealthy as JT but reading the article it sounds like an honest mistake as opposed to someone out on a bender hammered being completely reckless.

Hell the cops were sitting outside the restaurant waiting for people to leave late who were probably drinking. That alone is kinda BS.

Sounds like they have a campaign to keep the drunks off the road.

Im no cop super fan, but sounds like he brought it upon himself after running a stop sign and swerving across the road. Maybe the police cam will tell a different story.

The 43-year-old star, who was pictured looking exhausted after his arraignment on Tuesday morning, was arrested after partying at Sag Harbor's American Hotel on Monday night.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ that the Sexy Back singer was pulled over after he left shortly after midnight when he blew past a stop sign.

Local officers reportedly followed the pop star and observed him swerving across the road, forcing cops to pull him over.

That tactic just doesn't sit well with me. Sitting out in front of a restaurant at night then following people that may be drunk until they make a mistake is shady to me. Especially a known swanky spot where celebs and elites knowingly hang out.

Any cop could sit outside any Mexican restaurant on a Friday or Saturday night and bust people one after the other for DUI after having a few margaritas with friends.

But all that said all he had to do was hire a driver and it's never a problem.

If the link is correct, they waited until the dude blew through a stop sign and was swerving across the road. That's creating hazardous conditions for other people. That's not the same as waiting outside an establishment and popping people as they leave. TABC has done some dirty bull**** like that before but it's a bit odd to stick to this argument in a situation where the person was presumably creating hazards either as a drunk or just a reckless driver.

My first thought would be he was somewhere he probably shouldn't be. Article does say he was partying at the American Hotel.

No clue what happened in this case but I had a similar experience about 7 years ago. It was a Friday and we were going to watch a movie at the house. I ran up to a local brewery and filled up a couple growlers for later.

Cop was posted outside the brewery and followed me immediately. Was in my neighborhood getting close to home and he pulls me over saying I didn't stop completely at a stop sign. Total BS as I knew he was behind me for a few miles.

Immediately he starts in on if I was drinking. I knew I wasn't doing any sort of sobriety test with him since he already lied about the stop sign and if they wanted to take me in and do a blood test that's how it was going to be.

I was nice to him and told him the truth along with showing him the two growlers buckled in the seat. I had zero to drink.

He let me go without a warning or anything but it was clear the stop sign thing was an easy way to pull me over with no evidence.

Again not saying that's the case here but I'm not a fan of police parking outside spots like that. Also not a fan of drunk driving but the tactic is crap.

I have zero issues with them being around places where people drink in the interest of stopping drunk drivers. Where they setup really shouldn't be a problem. Are you also upset at police for setting up near banks to stop bank robbers or having school resource officers to prevent school shootings?

Pulling people over for made up or dubious reasons is a problem I agree however.

We agree on the pulling over just because reasons.

A school resource officer is a paid employee the district like any security guard so I think that's a bit of a different thing.

Is it cool for a cop to just follow you around all day in case you mess up? Of course that's not reality but where is the line?

You see in China with the social score where we are heading. To me parking outside places and following people with no probable cause isn't right.

I also think speed traps, red light cameras, the cops standing under the uturns checking registration, etc is too far.

I'm not anti-cop either. There are definitely some a holes but overall they have a tough job and I think the higher ups are driving behavior to generate revenue and not protect and serve.

Getting a bit off topic but SROs are usually real police employed by a department of some kind, just assigned to schools. Some districts have their own police but it's the minority of districts.

As to the main topic, comparing drunk driving which results in over ten thousand deaths a year, to various vehicular misdemeanors just isn't a fair comparison. I also think the idea that we are following Chinas footsteps if police sit outside places where people are likely to get wasted and then attempt to drive is a leap. If someone isn't showing signs of reckless driving then probable cause to pull over likely isn't there imo so no I don't think following someone should be considered legit. That doesn't mean anything with regards to whether being at a location where drunk drivers are likely to originate is justified and sound police work.

Maybe the cops are exaggerating about how reckless his driving was and if so that should be considered problematic. I just don't take issue with their location to start this police encounter. It's not like they pulled a tabc and gave him a PI just for exiting a hotel bar into the hotel lobby on the way back to their room.

I regularly go to a small bar for a couple drinks around 5:00. It's comical how many times the cops hide out and pull people over. It's a fact that cops get overtime pay for DWI's

complaining about this is like complaining about cops waiting around the sharp S curve of a bend in the highway to catch speeders.

I have no sympathy for anyone caught driving under the influence- especially wealthy people!

Article says several friends showed up trying to get the officer to cut him some slack. In the days before body cam that probably would have worked, hook a cop up with some front row tickets or tell him he can come visit your next film shoot and you will make sure he gets a walk-on role. Now cops have to worry the bodycam video will be reviewed by the superiors or TMZ finds out and gets ahold of the video and you have to explain why you let him off.
