Cops In Germany Pull Over Man In Wheelchair And Give Him DUI

by scottso

BERLIN – A wheelchair-bound German man was pulled over and given a DUI for driving under the influence – in his wheelchair.

The disabled man stunned police when they discovered that he was 10 times over the legal alcohol limit for drivers.

“He was right in the middle of the road,” said a spokesman for police in the northeastern city of Schwerin Tuesday. “The officers couldn’t quite believe it when they saw the results of the breath test. That’s a life-threatening figure.”

The 31-year-old told police he had been out drinking with a friend and was a little over a mile from home when a squad car stopped him as he passed through the village of Ventschow.Fast wheelchair

Police said that because the man was technically traveling as a pedestrian, he could not be charged with a driving offense.

“It’s not like we can impound his wheelchair,” the spokesman said. “But he is facing some sort of punishment. It’s just not clear yet what exactly that will be.”

JOKESTARTERS:

  • I’ve got an idea for his punishment – how about you make it so he can’t walk again, and has the spend the rest of his friggin’ life in a wheelchair? Would that be punishment enough Herr Occifer?
  • In a related story, cops in Germany don’t have much to do lately, other than ticket disabled people.
