I thought about that too, but we are talking New Mexico. It is entirely possible that he has to bring his car home.
Still it doesn't matter. If he has to bring the car home, he has to behave.

Just some quick reading supports what I said.

Quote:
10.5.100.8 C

Employees shall conduct themselves at all times, both on and off duty, in such a manner as to reflect most favorably on the department. Conduct unbecoming an employee shall include that which brings the department into disrepute or reflects discredit upon the empoyee as a member of the deparment, or that which impairs the operation or efficiency of the deparment or employee ...


It's also mentioned multiple places what an officer "in uniform" must do without any comment as to if they are on duty or not.

So yeah, I'm pretty sure that he's in violation of the code of conduct for state police in New Mexico. If anything comes of it or not might be another matter.
