I guess that 0% BAC readings don't fill the municipal coffers, so they had charge him with something.

It doesn’t have to be alcohol that’s causing his problem.

I just got over pink eye. I guess the Surprise PD could have arrested me too. Not only should the city be sued but the officers and their supervisors should be held PERSONALLY responsible.

He was clearly in the wrong.

When confronted by a highway stormtrooper traffic cop, always admit you did whatever he said you did even if you didn't. hose are the new rules. Government always right, citizen subject always wrong.

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise.

He should have moved to Happy Valley instead.

One can have a BAC of 0.0000000 and still be “impaired” and,thus,legally unfit to drive.For example,I have diabetes.My blood sugars seem to swing pretty substantially and,as a result,I can get very sleepy...even in the middle of the day and even when I'm under the influence of *nothing* that effects one’s brain.I don't know if this is the case here but physicians...and probably some diabetes patients...can confirm what I've said about *my* situation.

I don’t care for the “racist” angle, but I’ve been through hip replacements, and you don’t do it if you don’t hurt like Hell. I hope he gets the half-million. And I’d like to see the officer see some punishment, but that won’t happen.

I'd get straight A's. I guarantee it.

It wasn’t motivated by race. The DUI laws have become a neoprohibitionist movement and a moneymaker for politiicans, MADD, the courts, the county, lawyers, and the insurance racket.

Blowing below 0.08 does not free you of being charged. Blowing above it only makes it easier for them to convict you.

Now engage in some carnival games of balance and memory and we’ll see how much we can shake out of you.

Finally, equal justice for those of us who do drank and drive!

The other thing that’s at work is the tendency for cops to double down once they’ve f’ed up. They do something wrong, you demonstrate that they’re wrong and they’re still going to charge you to keep you quiet.

Looks like these officers are taking George's advice.

That’s why they call this place Surprise!

If there’s no better evidence of DUI than erratic driving, he’ll probably skate in the court, but it does smell like generic harassment. The race card, it has long been maxed out however.

'An officer walked up and he said ‘I can tell you’re driving DUI by looking in your eyes.’ I take my glasses off and he says, ‘You’ve got bloodshot eyes.’

During allergy season I have both bloodshot eyes and a red nose.

I would be hauled in for DUI and assaulting the officer when I sneezed on him.

I’ve been through that in a hick town in GA just because they didn’t like who I was in the car with. GA law at the time allowed accused to request a blood test. I demanded either a breath or blood test and the fat, stupid, inbred, cretin processing me laughed and said, “Boy, you ain’t getting shit. We can look at you and tell you’re drunk.” Of course I have no race card to play so I eventually just paid the fine. We were with a casual acquaintance we thought was on leave from the Navy. Turned out he was AWOL and wanted as a deserter. Cops felt they had to charge every one in the car with something. My brother and our friend had been drinking but I hadn’t.

My sore tailbone has caused me to swerve over a number of lines, while struggling against the constraint of seat belts to move my butt to a comfortable position. This has probably happened when allergies turn my eyes blood red.

What time of the month was it? Maybe the cop needed to fill a quota?
