“He wasn’t read his rights before answering the officer’s questions.”
He wasn’t under arrest.
“The cop needs a witness placing your friend behind the wheel.”
The guy admitted he was behind the wheel.
Next case.
After a long day a few years ago, I fell asleep and hit a telephone pole late one night. Had a couple of beers in me. My head hit the windshield and shattered it. My head was pretty banged up as well, broken nose, etc... Took an ambulance ride to the hospital. At the hospital, the police officer said they were going to take a blood test. My eyes were almost completely swollen shut, I was in and out of it. I told him to forget it, I've already given enough blood tonight.
Two months later, I show up at court on DWI charges. The judge threw it out because I was not in the car at the time the officer arrived on the scene and the one witness he did have (the fellow that helped me out of the car) had given the officer a false name and address and he could not locate him.
