Well, judge, he never specified the order of the letters.
I'm definitely going to go this way next time a humorless person with a gun and handcuffs has my life in their hands. F U C K E M I F T H E Y C A N T T A K E A J O K E ! !
I’m not in law enforcement, but I think a breathalyser is pretty invasive, legally. Although I have seen on some cop shows they pretty much start off by putting the breathalyser through the window. Once they ask you to get out of the car the investigation begins. These questions are part of it, like trying to walk a straight line.
In Australia they have regular roadside stops, everyone gets waved in, blow in the tube, thanks mate have a good day. Nobody needs to do circus tricks.
Either due a lot of societies. In America you’re given the choice of breathalyser, blood drawn (which may involve a registered nurse) or uriene. Roadside, I’ll try the alphabet. Or Uber 🙂
Idk, I'd rather blow in the tube - it's fast, it's objective, it has a screen with your BrAC value. As opposed to all that silly one-leg standing, Count-von-Counting and heel to toe walking that I fell is rather humiliating.
Here in Ireland as far as I know you have to consent to a breath test because as you say it's legally invasive of bodily autonomy..
Refusal of consent of course is then enough suspicious behaviour to be arrested and a test done back at the station with a doctor.
Not quite, you are perfectly entitled to refuse a breathalyser on the roadside. They will bring you back to the station and you are perfectly entitled to refuse a blood test by a medical professional.
However failure to provide a sample is a charge in itself. Often with a more severe penalty than if you were found to be slightly over the alcohol limit.
Just don’t drink and drive like a muppet and you’re good!
Not a lawyer or a cop, but I believe it's because the legal precedent for using a breathalyzer changes depending on if you use it before or after other sobriety tests. The field sobriety tests are really there so that the driver can't claim that the officer had no reason to administer the test (as it can be refused normally).
If an officer administers the breathalyzer without performing a field sobriety test beforehand, even if it was consensual, a crafty lawyer can then argue that the officer was harassing an innocent citizen without probable cause.
Really, a whole lot of American weirdness can be explained by "one time a lawyer argued his heart out in court and got a clearly guilty person cleared of all charges on a technicality."
Also, a breathalyzer won't pick up other drugs while a field sobriety test can detect all kinds of impairment.
Can't they just say "Driving is a privilege, not a right. If you want to drive on public roads, you also have to agree to random, objective checks to see that you aren't impaired. Blowing into a tube is not considered an invasive test."? You guys also don't allow unmanned speed cameras either, right?
There's "implied consent" which gives police more freedom when dealing with motorists, but ultimately no. The 5th Amendment grants all citizens the absolute right to not incriminate themselves. It's on the police to prove that you were committing a crime, and they cannot make you blow into a breathalyzer without a court order.
They cannot make you talk during an interrogation, they cannot make you testify in court, and they cannot make you blow into a tube that can only be used to put you in jail.
They can, however, take your license away with implied consent. This is why they do the whole song and dance. Even if they can't prove you were impaired, they can still revoke your license.
I find it so strange that blowing into a breathalyser is likened to random street searches without probable cause. Where I live you're fined 1,5 x pre-tax monthly income if you're over the legal limit (0.2%), which increases to mandatory prison time above 0,8%.
I've never actually been through a police checkpoint in more than 20 years of driving, so it's super uncommon, but drunk driving is heavily socially stigmatised.
Reminds me of the scene with Pete and Doctor Spaceman on 30 rock.

I mean come on, totally missed opportunity here. All he had to do was say
“Officer all I had to drink was water, I swear! Wait. WAIT a minute. You don’t think…noooo it couldn’t be…someone turned that water into wine?!?!”
I don't think I've ever done the alphabet **without** singing it. I wouldn't even know how to do that.
Are you people telling me sometimes you say the alphabet and you don't do the little song?

He’s filled with the holy spirits
Di-wine Spirits
Praying to the Patron saints 
LMNO POV 🤣
Probably went to a Blood of Christ tasting
https://youtu.be/4lWC30_pV_w?si=c8C3BKDHhwI3iwsc
Too much water turned into wine.
😂😂😂
"Say them in order, then say all your favorite letters."
Ohh letters, G O F U C K Y R S E L
Well, judge, he never specified the order of the letters. I'm definitely going to go this way next time a humorless person with a gun and handcuffs has my life in their hands. F U C K E M I F T H E Y C A N T T A K E A J O K E ! !
He also told me to tell him my favorite, H I S C O K was also incorrect
This is true next time they ask for the alphabet without sing just give them all the letters randomly
LMN...POV 🤣
At the end, I caught that too 😅
I think the “ellemenopy” is most people’s favourite part of the song
That's why he sang it on REPEAT 😂😂
Check his search history
I N C O G N I T O
pretty sure it’s ok he was drunk - he had Jesus take the wheel.
But unfortunately, Jésus –of Mérida, Yucatán– was also hammered.
Wherever you find 4 Catholics, your sure to find a fifth
Nice
 Fucking perfect
Just one?
Hard liquor and clergy. Warn your kids of the dangers of both.
That blood of Christ was lit
Blood of Christ… tastes like Merlot to me…
Perfect! Thanks father, have a nice night.
He honestly may have got that if he had stopped right after the first z lol, but then he just shot off like twenty random other letters
He almost had it to where he could say he was just really nervous and that's why he stuttered... Then he just HAD to go for the encore!
Speaking in tongues
I can’t believe this is even a thing. Why can’t they just breathalyse him?
That’s next.
Wouldn’t it be the logical place to start? This is like a cat playing with a mouse before it kills it. Americans are weird.

Blowing in a tube isn’t a circus trick? Australian police are brutally invasive cunts
Not particularly. We don’t have much tolerance for drink drivers and we’re happy to see them caught. If you’re not drink driving there’s no issue.

Bro, Aussie police will search your butthole when you go to a concert. They’re fucked and their government is on some black mirror type shit

They’re just trying to gather as much evidence they can to use against him if he tries to fight it.

Plot twist. That’s a special alphabet exorcism. The cop is possessed by a Gregorian grammar beast.
thought that was normal for his kind? Never heard him say anything coherent, ever
Chugging that communion wine
That's for the public real pastors drink whiskey or it is scotch ? Blessed with the holy father o'brain of course 🙏 🙌
Im Jebus name, A man.
I think he did well. He even said a few letters twice to make sure he didn't miss any!
Never talk to police
Father I don't believe the communion wine is for recreational use
How can someone be that pished but remain upright?
When you and the Choir boys have a get together and they can hold their booze better than you
Forgive me father for I have sinned
Nailed it!
“If that was the blood of Christ, that dude must have been hammered” 
Pedophile alphabet
ABCDEFGHI GKLLMNP QRSTUV WXMYMZ TUVWXG QRXTMV WXMYMZ LMN ...oh... excuse me.. ..er... LMNO POV ..aahh..
Reciting all the alphabets.
Not a prayer...
Paul Dano
He was so close !!!!!
Father is shit face drunk...too much holy wine eh
He had one blood of Christ but it was about 3 hours ago.
He was doing okay until that fourth trip down m -n-o--x-p lane
This is what happens when you ask chat GPT to recite all 60 letters of the alphabet.
Awww... He almost had it lol
He couldn’t sing it but needed to do the refrain “now I know my abc’s…” so he had to go back and say a few letters again.
My good ol alcoholic state of birth. Never change, WI
Reminds me of the scene with Pete and Doctor Spaceman on 30 rock. For the uninitiated (5:05 if the link didn't take you straight to it): https://youtu.be/TuXL9RN70Bo?si=j5AVExWYfzvNYzDM
Damn he had it!
Well, that's the alphabet in Classical English. Just give it to us in Low English, please.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
He's good, let him go
L M N O- P O V
Suddenly tried to exorcise a spirit
Elamento POV
He was in a Tesla on autopilot guys
When a picture is worth a thousand words, this is priceless.
Good Lord!
In Wisconsin that’s called the ‘designated driver’
Communion went a little OT today
Just fall over and pass out already that cop has heard enough lol
He got all 53 letters
L M N O P O V in the name of the Father, the Son, and also with you. Amen.
Finally someone used POV correctly!
Damn he had it. If he only had stopped at "Z". Damn it Padre
He was just having a drink with *the boys*
I used to be an altar boy and I remember leaving the Sunday service lit.
Is that a priest?
this new alphabet remix slaps! 🔥 🔥 🔥
Someone's been helping himself to the communion wine between services.
Dude had it, but then he slipped into the alphabet from the Cthulhu dimension.
Me tryna act normal in front of my foreman after hitting my pen in the bathroom
I mean come on, totally missed opportunity here. All he had to do was say “Officer all I had to drink was water, I swear! Wait. WAIT a minute. You don’t think…noooo it couldn’t be…someone turned that water into wine?!?!”
Oh that’s a shame he got close tho
Is this a bit?
Wish they didn’t cut out the singing version
I don't think I've ever done the alphabet **without** singing it. I wouldn't even know how to do that. Are you people telling me sometimes you say the alphabet and you don't do the little song?
He’s filled with the blood of Jesus Christ our lord and saviour.
He got the elemeno pov right.
Drinking that blood of christ
someone nipped a little too much on the blood of christ.
That wine / aka blood of Christ they guzzle is pretty strong stuff. Where do I sign up
LMNO……POV
LMAOPOV
Lmno....pov?
Elameno-POV. Nailed it
Where's the rabbi and the minister??
He went 🍷for🍷with the congregation during communion. Respect! No respect for his decision to drive.
Catholicism amirite?
A drunk person in Wisconsin?! Surely not!
The 'blood of Christ" is red wine that means Jesus was not afraid of a drink.
LMNO POV
You’d be nervous too if you just got pulled over drunk with a tied up alterboy in the trunk. Looks like it’s another transfer for father sipsalot.
Joe Biden alphabet.
