DENVER - Police in a Denver suburb say a woman was arrested for drunken driving after she complained to officers about how they parked their patrol cars as they were investigating a DUI-related crash.

Trevor Materasso of Westminster police told KMGH-TV that 49-year-old Katherine Morse was taken into custody after she walked up to police trying to move a car in the crash Sunday.

Materasso says police had parked their cars to prevent a suspected drunk driver in the crash from leaving the scene. He says officers told Morse to return to her car and she became "belligerent with them, telling them it was a stupid place" for a traffic stop.

Materasso says that's when officers realized "she too was drunk."

Morse also faces obstructing police charges.

It is possible she had a legitimate complaint.

When the local constabulary sets up speed traps near my home, they park their vehicles however the feel like it, impeding traffic, causing a danger to motorists who make blind turns into our subdivision, only to find cop cars stopped right in the traffic lanes. Also, the CHiPs style motorcycle cops feel free to park their heavy bikes on our sidewalks, in violation of our community's deed restrictions while conducting their War on Motorists. I guess they don't care if they tear up our (non rebar reinforced) sidewalks by driving their bikes on them, since they don't live here.

I've been tempted to go tell them what they are doing is wrong, but don't want to be targeted for retaliation, even though I am stone cold sober all the time.
