I'm just a guy who must say "Eww"
When there's a bug in my sight
And when I sleep at night
I must say "Eww"!

BREAKING: The NM Supreme Court affirmed its dismissal of Couy Griffin's appeal, so Judge Mathew's ruling removing Griffin from office for engaging in insurrection stands. We look forward to holding more insurrectionists accountable—including Donald Trump.

The ruling also prevents him from running for or serving in any state office in the future. And yeah, he’s still whining about it.

“ NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – The state Supreme Court dismissed a final motion for former Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin to reconsider his appeal. The Cowboys for Trump founder said this won’t stop his efforts.”

and a time waster..

if he wasn't wearing a seat belt he wouldn't have wasted so much of the officers time that could have been spent on other enforcement
if he didn't go on ranting the stop would have been shorter
if he didn't Court Elect then an officer would not have had to spend time in court for the offence that he admitted to.

The officer made it clear at the start why seat belts are important - for public safety - an accident without a seatbelt takes a lot more time to clean up because injuries are more severe.

ps. He sounded and acted like he was in need of a RBT/MDT.

Fully 50% of the people I arrested for DUI thought I should be out there catching murderers, too. Our stock response when they said that was "I'm not the murderer police, I'm the DUI police." They *hated* that. And they all "paid our salary" too so we told them we needed a raise.

Then they puked, pissed, or started crying.

:boxing: :thumbsup:

I'm always happy to be randomly stopped for an alcohol test*, even if I'm in a hurry, as I'd rather be late than The Late as a result of alcohol.
It is 1-3 minutes out of my day and a license check maybe twice a year.
No agro, no guns, no disrespect.

* I haven't yet had to do the tongue swab for drugs - but will happily comply - I don't want impaired or unlicensed drivers anywhere operating tonnes of metal travelling at high velocity.

Eventful couple of days for Couy.

First the Sheriff has to take the microphone away from him as he confronts his replacement on the County Commissioners panel.


https://nmpoliticalreport.com/2022/11/1 ... s-meeting/
Former Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin caused a fuss at the Otero County Commission meeting last week when his time at the public comment table became so heated, one of the sitting county commissioners plans to file a restraining order against Griffin.

Griffin was unhappy that Stephanie DuBois, a Democrat, was appointed to his old seat after Griffin was removed from office based on the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment’s Disqualification Clause after his conviction related to his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection in Washington, D.C.

At one point, before the meeting livestream went dark, Sheriff David Black, a Republican who ran unopposed in the 2022 election, took the microphone from the public comment table away from Griffin who said “well now, you get tough. Now you’re a tough guy, huh?” to Black.

The meeting livestream went dark for about 10 minutes before the meeting reconvened.

“We’re going to go ahead and continue but I am asking you right now that we keep this civil,” Marquardt said when the meeting reconvened. “We’re all godly people here and we need to keep that in mind. And you all haven’t seen me ride in on my broom yet, but it was about there this morning. We’re going to keep this civil.”
Then the NM Supreme Court tosses his appeal over being removed from said panel.

I found a video of some of this Nov 10, 2022 Otero County Commission meeting, in case anyone is interested...

My wife is actually amazed at how many traffic tickets I never got. I'm the only California native who has been given field sobriety tests three times and never got a DUI. I was so nice to cops. So very polite and friendly. That's how to go through life, imho.

'Cuz video.

They wanna be on the news, but not without a hat on.

I don't like to be seen in public without a hat either. I'm 50% bald and 50% gray and curly. I look much better with a hat. I own 19 hats, at last count. But I only wear one at a time.

Hats, man. :thumbsup:
