No, but if she is stationed there to look for/pull over people for failure to use a turn signal in order to check for DUIs, then my response is that she needs to be restationed. Move to a congested road and still look for failure to signal so that you can make the road safer for future drivers that the potential DUIer might encounter. The last place I'd stop a person for a DUI would be where the person ends his/her travels. Or why not just wait for people to LEAVE their driveway, and pull them over then? Makes more sense to me at least...
Since it is so uncommon for sober people to signal going into their own driveway, how would it stand out any more to the police for an intoxicated driver?
Ive got nothing but respect for police, but when you hear about a friend getting a ticket for 6 mph over the limit (when the legal cushion in FL is 5 mph) because the officer wanted to "teach him a lesson", it gets you thinking about how ridiculous some stops are.
