“yes you can - if you crash your car and the police who respond don’t have a suspicion that you are intoxicated or under the influence of drugs then the law does not permit them to go on a fishing trip for evidence well after the incident.

Everyone has the same rights - you and Tiger Woods. You can have affairs too.”

Bingo! We have a winner. I’m not condoning Tigers actions but the police need probable cause and they clearly had none. I think someone in Florida Law enforcement saw some TV time and a book deal down the road if they could get the goods on tiger. The DA did right on this by saying get out of my office with your self serving fishing expedition.

How is careening down the street, hitting hedges, fire hydrant and tree not “probable cause” of DUI?

Let me get this straight - you're argument is that a driver who is involved in a low-speed, single vehicle accident in clear conditions and on dry roads in the middle of the night, who is found sleeping next to his destroyed vehicle, and who eye witness statements allege was drinking and may have taken prescription drugs earlier in the evening - is NOT "reasonable cause", which is the standard in FL?

Is that correct?

In any other time with any other driver, that person would have been arrested on suspicion of DUI. It's not even close.
