Dennis Quaid ran a stop sign yesterday in Marina del Rey and the police said they thought Dennis might have been drunk. I guess he must have been boozing it a little. They gave him a field sobriety test and he passed so, according to TMZ, they let him go and didn't even give him the ticket for running the stop sign. They must be big fans of The Rookie.

They still should have given his ass a ticket. He ran a fucking stop sign. He could have taken someone out by doing that.
I can't help but think that every minute of every day, Randy Quaid is doing something 150% more interesting than what his brother is up to.
Wonder how poor Randy is these days? The last interview I read with him and his extremely interesting (being nice cause it's Sunday:-) wife, they were so bat-shit crazy it wasn't even funny.
Dennis looks so tiny skinny in this pic. And maybe he was super-nice to the officers, so they gave him a warning. Cops are just relieved when every person they come across isn't a prick.
He really needs to start thinking rehab. This has gone on too long.
I thought it was zero tolerance and an automatic $257 ticket for running a red light/stop sign in Cali these days. Oh, wait, not for CELEBRITIES. I forgot. Cali sucks. Glad I don't live there any more....
I'm sorry, but that's how it is here for us normal folk. When a cop pulls you over, thinks you're DUII, has you do field sobriety tests, and it turns out you're not? He's not going to add insult to injury by giving you the ticket too.
Field sobriety tests are highly subjective and highly (in my opinion) inaccurate. The studies that validated the tests were not blind studies and were sponsored by the same group that designed the tests (NHTSA) and they are still only about 60-65% accurate. In otherwords, you could do about as well by guessing. So. He passed, was not impaired, much less drunk, you don't give him the damn traffic ticket.
Sorry. DUII's chap my hide. I had a friend lose a .02 DUII case. You can get a felony fricken DUII in this state for having a few beers and floating down the river on your innertube if you paddle at all with your hands. Grrrrr....
As a police officer I would like to say this comment is the 100% accurate. Thank you.

@amanda - no problem. Hubby has been in law enforcement for 20 years, so I know how y'all feel. Dealing with assholes all day gets really old. And cops deal with a lot of assholes.
It is, in many respects, a thankless job. No one likes cops until they need a cop's help, then they expect you to be at the scene in like 5 seconds! He was in a big city at one point where the call backlog could be hours long.
Thanks for doing what you do, amanda!
Schmoikel.
oh to be rich, white and drunk.
"Dennis Quaid is clear, Dennis Quaid is clear" his next stunt on Ellen ;)
I just had this conversation with somebody at Starbucks the other day...Police officers spend their entire careers seeing the worst of people AT their worst, dealing far more often with victims of crime than criminals themselves, so when somebody actually ISN'T an asshole, it's a blessing.
That being said, he should have gotten a ticket for running the stop sign....and police often develop a hard shell due to their past experiences which color their future interactions, assholes or not...
I know several hard drinkers that can appear more sober after 6 drinks than I would after 1 or 2 (since I virtually never drink). So just because he passed a field test/seemed sober does NOT mean he was sober.
Oh, to be rich, male, white and drunk... or suuuper high...
