You must appreciate his persistence.
But, but, I need a photo of this performance mod…

Here’s the video, but sadly it doesn’t show the inside of the truck.

Man With 'Custom Bong Device' Built Into His Car's Dashboard Arrested For 98th Time

Arrested for being a creative dude...and for DUI, eluding and possession of narcotics.

Jalopnik
“high” speed chase indeed
Why was he let go with so many priors?
Every layer of the legal system is broken, and lots of people benefit from not fixing it.
Why should he be locked up just because of a bunch of stupid laws?

Because the law is still valid? If you consider the law stupid, do something against it.

I personally don’t consider it stupid to forbid driving under influence, regardless of the means.

Because the law is still valid?

Are you asking me or telling me? Because either way no it isn’t. Laws are bullshit and you should break them just on principle.

He should put that on his resume
99th time’s the charm!
No he’s going out rolls over to zero after one hundred
Dumbass cop was about to pitt maneuver this truck into an innocent cat.

Thank god I am not the only one to immediately catch that. What that pig attempted was FUCKING DANGEROUS.

And then another pig on the radio is heard giving clear instructions to not attempt unless below 70(mph). Still with plenty of other vehicles on the roads…

How else you going to live out your badass road warrior fantasies??

Fucken dunce…

Hell ya. Say yes to drugs, be crime, do gay, ACAB.
You should definitely NOT read the story, because if you do, you’ll feel really fucking stupid for saying that.

I did read the story. He sounds like a man who knows how to have a good time. And he was helping someone shoplift, so that’s mutual aid.

Fuck cops, fuck corporations, fuck the law.

Driving under the influence is not cool in any situation though

Inside the truck officers found a “custom bong device built into the dash of the truck so he could comfortably smoke drugs while driving”. Meth, heroin, and fentanyl were also discovered, as well as the stolen items.

The driver of the truck had 97 prior arrests. He is facing charges of DUI, eluding, and possession of narcotics. The passenger was turned over to Centralia PD for organized retail theft.

Goddamn dude

So close to 100! Wonder what the Guinness World Record is?
97 prior arrests sounds like police harrassment, not illegal behavior.

Under other circumstances, I might agree with you, but the guy built a bong into his dashboard.

That’s an impressive level of commitment to DUI.

it’s not convictions, it’s arrests. after i’d been arrested (not convicted) 60 times, fuck obeying the law. the social contract broke.
Fuck endangering other people
fuck harassing people to the point they feel all life is worthless
Pretty sure that is ALSO endangering other people
Yeah I was agreeing, but in a fuck the police way
Where in the dash was it built? Maybe our hero is the designated driver with a passion for making sure that passengers riding shotgun never have to be sober.

Woah!

…based based based based based…

What if, hear me out, you confiscated the car at any of the previous 95 stops?

Oh yeah this is America so it will make it impossible for you to live… You know what, in that scenario dash bong seems totally reasonable.

Somehow, we manage to have the problem of assholes like this racking up dozens upon dozens of priors with (obviously) ineffective punishment and would-be productive citizens languishing with long prison sentences for trivial offenses at the same time.

A bit shortsighted no?

The whole punative system is shit and should be changed rather drastically.

95 arrests, not 95 stops
@10s did the cop try to pit him off an overpass?

A high speed chase, or a high speed chase?

Also: wtf was with the pit maneuver when oncoming traffic was like less than a 100 feet ahead? Dumbass shit.

This whole chase was idiotic. Poor pit maneuver. Chasing suspect through traffic and intersections.
Reminds me of a story I heard like 20-30 years ago. Some German dude wrecked his Merc on the autobahn… the cops get there and he just wreaks of schnapps but they find no bottles, no means of consumption. The car gets towed to a police station to be examined and they found that he had diverted the window washing tank into the cabin, dude wants a pug of schnapps and he hits his window washer button.
That is a level of ingenuity that I love to see in people. Application of it is nooot great but he’s got the spirit.
Don’t you mean spirits?

My friend’s dad had a kegerator built into his truck. Tap was in the center console.

He’s either dead or still driving tow trucks.

Let’s hope for the former
I am pissed off that I watched that video, and they didn’t show the damn dash bong.
Came to say the same. I was looking for inspiration!
I was thinking, “any second and they’re gonna show that bong”. Nope. Very disappointing.
yeah, i can think of a few rigs that are pretty easy to slap together but like, i’m stealing your rims if you want me to do that. and your distributor. fuck driving inebriated, i’ll build you a hotbox but not a rolling one.
This is the post where I quit thinking you were cool. Now if you’ll excuse me it’s my rip, can’t smoke drive and text. Just not enough hands!
I KNOW RIGHT WHY DO YOU THINK WE EVEN CLICKED ON THIS
Indeed, I wanted to see how the crazy mounted his bong on the dashboard. Adhesive, self-tapping screws, bolts, etc…on a gryo base?

bro they said built into the dash!

“custom bong device built into the dash …"

yeah we GOTTA see this shit

Two more and he’ll get a free ice cream
What a great example of why police chases shouldn’t be a thing, the cop was more dangerous than Smokey Pete.
Cop tried bumping the truck on a fucking two-lane road with a car coming the opposite way. Holy Cheez-its.
It’s almost as it cops aren’t intelligent.
I remember them shooting at a hijacked FedEx truck
It couldn’t go fast anyway, had a tracker and was stuck in traffic with cars everywhere.
It was going nowhere.
No negotiating or thinking, the cops just started firing.
They killed everyone in the truck (driver/victim also) and at least 1 (or more if I remember correctly) of the unlucky commuters in the line of fire.

No negotiating or thinking, the cops just started firing.

They were thinking … about how good the sex was going to be that night.

From another article:

*Two pursuits. Both were terminated because his driving was so reckless that it was dangerous to keep chasing him. He was blowing through intersections at high speed through downtown Olympia and into Lacey.

That’s how innocent people die. A family heading home. A kid crossing the street. We’re handing the wheel to a driver who’s apparently high on meth and fentanyl and has no intention of stopping.*
