Actually part of this class on Friday is drinking in measured doses, then letting newbie officers perform field sobriety tests on us.



They did something like that with the sheriff's office here 16-17 years ago. Our Clerk of Justice Court down the hallway from my office volunteered to be a guinea pig. Being a sneaky sort I provided another volunteer one of those tiny cassette recorders so she could covertly record the assemblage getting "happy". I've maintained that miniature tape ever since for obligatory & crucial blackmail purposes should I ever have to appear. Being a smart alec with the Judge, I have generally become the most law abiding person in this region since if I ever so much as discernably roll through a stop sign at 2 am, I will probably get 6 months hard time !

Every couple years or so I'll walk in the chambers and say something like "Hey remember this" and punch the play button
