obtained by the State in the robbery trial of Andy
and Bob should be suppressed. The first issue is
whether Officer Short had probable cause to stop
the VW bug. When a police officer has probable

Driving a vehicle while under the influence of
alcohol is one of the most dangerous things you

show that driving performance and reaction times
are seriously affected by alcohol. If you drink
and drive, you are not only a danger to yourself
but also to your passenger, other road users and
pedestrians. In fact, every 30 minutes, someone in
this country dies in alcohol-related crash. Every
30 minutes! And last year alone more than one

Sam Peckinpah, and William Friedken, to mention a
few, came and put on film what was to become a

Ambulance Drivers Upper Class

exist which elevate particular members of society
above others. These distinctions may be based upon

on the basis of wealth. While the existence of
these status groups may be harmless, when
prejudice prevents the movement of individuals or
social groups between and within classes, valuable
human resources are being put to waste. This issue
