Can a police officer sit outside of a bar and wait for people to leave? Yes, they can. Is it fair? No. But do they do it? Yes. People complain that the officer was sitting outside the bar between 10 PM and 2 AM to scare people into not driving. It’s one of their goals. But they also watch for people driving away, and they don't want you to see them before they sneak up and pull you over for a minor traffic violation. In Missouri, The Benjamin Law Firm has seen many people pulled over within less than a mile from a bar, and the officer was watching the whole time.
