WOW!! TECHNOLOGY IS MAKING IT MUCH EASIER FOR THE DRUNKS AMONG US!!

Smartphone App Surges After Senators Complain It Helps Drivers Avoid DUI Checkpoints

By Judson Berger

Published March 23, 2011 | FoxNews.com

A group of senators unintentionally sent sales through the roof for the maker of a smartphone app that alerts drivers to DUI checkpoints, after they called on Apple and other manufacturers to ban the product.

Joe Scott, CEO of PhantomALERT, told FoxNews.com on Wednesday that downloads are up by 5,000 percent and sales are up by 3,000 percent since the four senators voiced concern about the product, prompting a wave of media coverage in technology publications.

"In a way, they're kind of helping us," Scott said.

That wasn't what the senators were going for. Sens. Harry Reid, D-Nev.; Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.; Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J.; and Tom Udall, D-N.M., fired off a letter Tuesday that described such applications as a menace to road safety. They called on Apple, Google and BlackBerry maker Research in Motion to ban applications that alert users to drunk-driving checkpoints, or at least remove that function from them.

"We appreciate the technology that has allowed millions of Americans to have information at their fingertips, but giving drunk drivers a free tool to evade checkpoints, putting innocent families and children at risk, is a matter of public concern," they wrote. "We hope that you will give our request to make these applications unavailable immediate consideration."

The senators announced Wednesday that Research in Motion has since agreed to remove the apps from its online store.

While the letter did not name the applications in question, Schumer said they were talking about PhantomALERT and Trapster. The latter gives users an interactive network where they can share the location of speed traps and other "enforcement" areas with other users. PhantomALERT offers a database -- for GPS and smartphones -- of everything from railroad crossings to red-light cameras to DUI checkpoints.

Trapster, with more than 11 million users, is much more popular than PhantomALERT. Trapster creator Pete Tenereillo said that, as such, the company did not get a huge spike in downloads after the senators raised their complaint.

But both executives rejected the argument that the applications are meant to help drunk drivers avoid getting caught. Rather, they said the apps make users think twice about driving drunk because they become more aware of how easy it is to get caught.

"Our obvious and strong hope is that we would not encourage people to drive drunk," Tenereillo said, describing Trapster as a "deterrent." He noted the application gives users a prompt to "find a taxi" if such a checkpoint pops up.

Besides, Tenereillo said, the DUI checkpoint feature is one of more than two-dozen, including a function that alerts drivers to roadkill like dead elk, which he said could be particularly harmful.

"DUI checkpoints ... are reported daily on Twitter and Facebook. I don't know if those are going to be shut down," he said.

Scott likened PhantomALERT to run-of-the-mill road signs that announce DUI checkpoints, or press releases sent out by local police departments about stepped-up enforcement.

"If (the senators) actually found out what PhantomALERT is all about and how we help drivers they'd actually support us," he said. "It's just a knee-jerk reaction. ... We help drivers avoid traffic tickets by helping them obey traffic laws."

He shared one testimonial from a supposed user claiming to have gotten a ride home from a friend one libation-filled night after checking PhantomALERT and seeing a checkpoint nearby.

But Schumer said the overriding effect of the apps is to give drunk drivers a clear route on the roads after partying.

"These applications are nothing more than a how-to guide in avoiding law enforcement and they provide drunk drivers with the tools they need to go undetected, putting innocent families and children at risk," Schumer said in a written statement.

DUI suspect debates w/ himself....

Man Pulled Over for DUI Debates With Himself Whether to Take Breathalyzer
Posted by Vince Grzegorek on Wed, Mar 23, 2011 at 10:49 AM

If you have any friends who are lawyers or who have endured the unfortunate DUI stop, you've probably heard the advice that you should never take a Breathalyzer.

In the heat of the moment, however, with the cop staring you down on the side of the road and hazy, booze-clouded thoughts running through your head, it's hard to get a firm grip on what you should do. You're on the spot, worrying about the immediate ramifications of what a DUI could mean for your job, your life, your family. What do you do?

Twinsburg Patch reports cops recently pulled over a man who couldn't decide whether to put lips to machine, so he took a minute to have a very loud debate with himself â�� estimating body weight, drinks consumed, etc. â�� while they waited.

A Twinsburg man pulled over for drunk driving in Solon began debating with himself, in front of the arresting officers, the merits of agreeing to or turning down the Breathalyzer test and wondering aloud how drunk he was considering his body weight.

When asked if he had been drinking, the man began musing out loud and to himself whether "two beers after work would put his 158-pound frame over the limit."

He also began discussing with himself whether he should blow or not, adding that his friends told him not to.

His friends won out â�� he did not blow. He was charged with OVI and assorted traffic violations.

DJ Johnny — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 10:28:11 -0800

Sorry I'm a few years late on this awesome fucking thread, but I want to offer what I know. I have been looking for pinballs in Cleveland non-stop and it's very difficult but here's what I've found. I hope I revive this thread.

The Chamber (Lakewood) - They have 2 machines but one wasn't working, the other was in horrible lighting conditions. I wish I could remember the titles, but they were both newer games from the mid 90's.
Swings N Things (Olmsted Fals) - Strike XTreme, Lethal Weapon 3, Ripley's Believe It Or Not, Bram Stroker's Dracula, Southpark, and Revenge From Mars
The Jolly Scholar (located at the Thwing Center at Case Western): Congo
Boneyard Mayfield Heights - The have a couple but I was so drunk I can't remember the titles.
Happy Dog (W58/Detroit) - Twilight Zone, Theatre of Magic, and I forgot the third one, I think it might have been Adams Family. They are 3 of the top modern games, if that's your style (not mine so much).
Grog Shop - Simpsons (??) last itme I was there I think it was as recent as 6 months ago they still had it.
IX Center - I believe the game room below the ferris wheel is there year round, but the indoor amusement park in March-April has several of them.
Cedar Point - As previously mentioned.

Places that should but don't: Dave & Busters, and Kalahari, both have arcades but no pinball....

There's several bars in Lakewood that have some, but I can't remember the names of the bars. Also - bowling alley's usually have one or two, and fun centers/mini golf sorta places almost all have arcades with some pinball. I am sick of going to these shitty places looking for pinball, but I am making my rounds to them as I get around. Swings N Things had 6 games but all were dot matrix games that I hate. It was still nice to see that many in one place.

Pinball Shoppe in North Olmsted sells pinball machines and you can try them out (if you pretend you're interested). Danny Vegh's on Lorain also has pinball machines. There is NO OTHER dealer in NE Ohio, no matter how hard you look, I tried for months and gave up.

I'll post more as I find them. Thanks Sweetassassafrass for starting this thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wanna buy a machine? CRAIGSLIST is the absolute best way, that's how I got the ones I bought.

Common Grounds at Kamm's Corner has Tales from the Crypt and Star Trek; The Next Generation and both seem in decent working order. The replays and high scores are way up there because of all the caffeinated folks playing them all the time...But I am not complaining about anyplace on Earth that has TWO pinball machines. BTW Now That's Class has an old-school pinball machine (I am not sure which one) that is set up for continuous FREE play.
