I think this is jury nullification. Or possibly jury inebriation.

To: Slings and Arrows

“The legal limit in Sweden is 0.2 promille; considerably stricter than many European countries (0.5 is common), or e.g., the UK with its 0.8 promille limit.”

also

“0.5 promille = 0.05% or. 50mg%”

“a BAC of 0.10 = 0.10%”

so a Swedish offense is a BAC of 0.02. Sounds like neoprohitionist to me. The founder of MADD left the organization years ago because she saw it becoming a prohibitionist group demanding far tighter restrictions than she was seeking. She didn’t like the high level offenders getting a slap on the wrist at most. She later lobbied on behalf of bars and breweries.
