[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3583796, member: 5412"] I don't know if it's a "gotcha" question but I've seen it several times. I have a lead foot, and have experienced it on a couple of stops and while being the innocent in a traffic accident. The HP trooper walks up and in an "authoritative voice" announces "have you been drinking" with a 20 MPH wind to his back 10' from the window where there is no way possible anyone could smell that if actually guilty on a traffic stop with my wife driving that doesn't drink at 9am. I was in an accident where I was rear ended by a person on a highway pulling a farm disk with the proper slow moving vehicle sign. When the trooper pulled up to the scene a few minutes later, the first thing he asked the driver of the vehicle that hit us was if he had been drinking. He wasn't. There was a bag of cheetos, a cell phone and a map on the drivers floor board when the trooper pulled up so we all know what the issue was. We were doing 15MPH, he was doing 70 MPH when rear ending us. Quite the impact but no injuries. I believe it's a psychological method to put someone ill at ease, make them defensive and see where it ends up. There may be merit to that tactic, or not. I don't know. [/QUOTE]
