Nope. Not sarcastic at all. Those cops have a tough job and if I roll up to a sobriety checkpoint I comply with simple questions to demonstrate I'm doing the right thing. The question of where he was going at 2:30 wasn't to find out about his personal life. It was to determine if his speech was slurred due to alcohol.
He could have just said he was going home or over to a friend's house. This kid decides he's like to make life hard for the cops and was given due treatment. Please don't fail to recognize that this kid has several similar incidents.
I don't know about you, but I've had none and find it hard to believe he has several before the age of 21. It's very easy to stay out of trouble in St. Louis. It's a nice area. This kid goes looking for it.

BTW, I'm not bashing cops; I know quite a few local, State and Federal LEOs and they are all great guys and true professionals while on the job, but a few assholes like those above give them all a bad name.
