| A good cop, who is doing his job. Just because a person is a great talkshow host, does put up above the laws the rest of have to obey. I THINK THE POLICE OFFICER WAS FAIR IN WRITING THIS MAN A TICKET. iF HE LET HIM GO AND KILLED SOMEONE DUE TO BEING DRUNK, YOU'D BE ASKING WHY THE POLICE WEREN'T DOING THIER JOBS. |

| You mean the cops came onto the set and gave him the ticket? By Carson's own words, he and friends were out to dinner, now I would assume that they went to a restaurant to eat and came out and the vehicle was noted to have an already existing violation, the outdated sticker. "but who said that cop can just waltz right in the show and of the greatest audience"? short answer; the law, who the rest of us have to bey. Go to those sites that show the results of DUI,it may change your view |

| The "cop" that you see on this clip was an actor. This was just part of Carson's routine in explaining to the public what happened. |

| None whatsoever. ... ( 2 months ago by Muellerdon) |
| None whatsoever. Police merely stopped Carson's car because his license plate had expired -- they found alcohol on his breath, and gave him the standard drunk tests, and he was fined. Tabloids at the time were saying that Carson was hauled into the police station cursing and being abusive, but that's rather doubtful. Carson had always had a problem handling alcohol, and he stopped drinking after that incident. |

| Johnny was the best. Period. Never ever again to be duplicated. No matter what the incident, his son's death, this incident with his DWI whatever it was he dealt with it so gracefully and with such dignity and humility. Truly awesome. He was just so smooth and flawless it was amazing. The entire studio could have caught fire and he would have never missed a beat kept everything flowing effortlessly. The guy was a natural. |
