Hatland said that Coors rolled through a stop sign a block from his home in Golden and that an officer stopped him in his driveway.

Getting popped in your driveway. That sucks.

In one breath test, he registered a blood alcohol level of 0.073 percent. In a second, 20 minutes later, he registered 0.088. In Colorado a blood alcohol count of 0.05 results in a driving while impaired charge, while a count of 0.08 results in driving under the influence.

Wow! He was pretty wasted! /s

I can remember when the threshold for DUI in Colorado was 0.1%. MADD is going to keep lowering the limit until someone who gargles with Scope before leaving for work in the morning will be considered legally drunk. Meanwhile, the vast majority of alcohol-related fatalities are caused by repeat offenders driving on suspended licenses with BACs above 0.14%.

This is sounding like the rush limbaugh viagra case. It sounds like coors failed to come to a complete and total stop (maybe) and the cop did not like the results of the first test so he keeps on testing.

Yeah, but those people are losers without money. Dropping the BAC dips into the responsible (bill-paying) population.

They need to keep justifying their existence government funding.

.07 is just stupid. One beer and you could be "drunk". MADD started as a good cause and now is wanting to drive toward prohibition.
