Cop pulls over driver for drinking coffee

A Minnesota woman was pulled over and ticketed Monday morning after drinking coffee on her commute along I-94.

“I was completely dumbfounded. I thought it was a joke!” Lindsey Krieger of St. Paul told KMSP Fox-9 on Tuesday. “I didn’t even have enough time to merge up to the right speed limit yet, so I wasn’t speeding or anything like that.”

“She was like, ‘Do you know what you were doing wrong? Do you know why you were pulled over?’ I said, ‘No I have no idea what you’re talking about.’ And finally after asking me a few more times she says, ‘Drinking coffee. It’s against the law to drink coffee while you’re driving.’”

Sgt. Mike Ernster with St. Paul Police Department told the station the ticketing officer was correct.

Hahaha. Well Minnesota what did you expect with the people like good old AL and the Muslims you harbor.

Ticket was for failure to wear seatbelt. Warning for coffee. Probably was a total jerk. Seeing how she lied about the incident it's only going to get worse. And you should read the story. And it is her fault for not wearing seat belt. Moron.

Yeah used a bs pullable offense to ticket her for the higher fine and not pullable offense. Disgusting pigs and the stupid laws that let them dig for truffles.

This is why people hate cops..most of them are dumber than a box of hair. As evidenced by this moron and the entire Salisbury police department.

She was pulled over for drinking coffee. That is just stupid. She even said she had her seat belt on and took it off when she got pulled over. This is one of the reason people are losing any respect they have for the police. You can only push people so far before they snap.

They pick and choose which laws they want to enforce depending on their mood.

Name 5 major recent cases where the police have been found guilty in court for doing something wrong? One step further. By a judge or jury.

Big government = loss of liberty and freedom.

How? How is it a good law? How does a person not wearing a seat belt effect anybody else? What's the purpose except engage a person for documentation and to fine them. If someone dosent want to wear a belt ,risking their lives then that's their prerogative. Stupid law enacted to give police another way to violate a persons rights to travel freely and make money. Your a sheep 11:59 with some dried cop on you.

When you die in a wreck from not wearing seat belt think about your kids. Think about your kids dying bc of no seat belt. Also my rates go up bc you were to stupid to wear seatbelt across your fat man pouch.

12:32...life ain't easy. People die. Kids get orphaned. Been like that for centuries. You can't stop it although you think you can.....
You are spouting the same nonsense the OTHER wanna-be Nazi's do --- you bought the car, paid for the gas, paid for your license and pay exorbitant fees to even drive. But WE (the Nazi wanna-be's) know what's best for you (and the money is waaaay too lucrative to surrender to your old fashioned "personal freedom" and "limited government" arguments) and you WILL live the way deem to be "safe" or we will HAVE to institute measures to make sure you "comply".
Like Nazi "checkpoints", warrantless searches, surveillance of every kind, and hundreds of thousands of armed agents to help you "comply".
Sure, we could eliminate a lot of crime, accidents, and mayhem.
If we would just allow people like YOU to run our lives, make our decisions, feed us, house us, and make sure we "comply", and walk the line YOU think is best.
If you can exert that much power over what "we, the people" do in our CAR (don't "look down" or tune the radio or the Gestapo POUNCES on you like a cougar on a rabbit), then what's next for you "I know what's best for you" Nazi wanna-be's?? Camera's in the houses of convicted criminals, followed by camera's in EVERYONE's house?? Breathalyzers on every car (with a fingerprint device, too???). Permission to go out of state?
Where do you people come from??? You need hanging, too.
Wherever it is, please go back there. We don't want or need you.
