Editor's Note: A Daily
Nebraskan reporter
accompanied two Lincoln
Police Department officers
assigned to the Counter
measure Squad, which seeks to
remove drunk drivers from city
streets. The following story is
his account and analysis.
By Ron Wylie
Their names are Garnett and
UUA
Williams. If Jack Webb didn't
actually make them, he at least
put together the mold.
Mike Garnett and Mike
Williams are two of the special
officers assigned to the
Cotintermeasure Squad of the
Lincoln Police Department. At
9:45 Friday night I'm riding
with them-as they cover their
selective enforcement area.

We're cruising down Q St.,
just looking over the scenevUp
ahead a car bolts through an
intersection, makes a quick
turn north on 10th St. and
picks up speed.
Driver Williams decides he
has a live one and goes in
pursuit.
Six blocks later the car is
pulled over, the driver is asked
to the back seat for a chat, and
Finally, a warning ticket is
issued for minor infractions.
When it's over, I ask Williams
how much time police cadets
put in on driving lessons
learning to pursue speeding
cars.
"None."
None. What do you mean
none?
"None. . .there's no driving
school."
The first driving while
intoxicated (DWI) call comes
from a regular patrol officer
who has stopped a driver near
the capitol on K St.
Driver questioned
Garnett gets out of the car
to get the report from the
officer on the scene and to
listen to the passenger's
complaints, while Williams
escorts the driver to the cruiser
and begins his questioning.
Have you been drinking this
evening, sir?
Where have you been
drinking?
About how many drinks
would you estimate you've
had?
What time would you say
you had your last drink?
The driver says, "I know
this is all being recorded."
Williams assures him that
nothing is being recorded and
asks the questions again. He
responds, "Yqu don't get the
point. . .we're blocking traffic
by being here." -i
Williams assures him that
we're not blocking traffic and
repeats the questions.
The man replies, "I'm just
trying to get yoir to see what
the point is. . .what's that little
box?" v
Williams identifies the
breath test box, and lays the
questions on him one more
time.
Garnett joins the discussion
and gradually the answers
come, interspersed with many
references to the officers not
"getting the point."
Implied Consent Law
Then Williams reads the
suspect the Implied Consent
Law and asks if the man will
sign a form indicating it has
been read to him. He refuses.
Williams then asks him to
take the pretest breath test to
determine the amount of
alcohol in his blood. The
suspect refuses.
Garnett and Williams spend
about 15 minutes trying to
explain to the man what the
consequences of refusing the
test will be. The suspect keeps
telling them he just wants to
tell them what the point is.
Inasmuch as he can't seem
to get the officers to
understand the point the man
decides he is going to leave. He
opens the door and starts to
get out.
