"comfortably below the legal limit. "

In all Fifty states that is the case.

(no place besides the District that had such a low threshold for routine DUI arrests.)

"She had been pulled over in Georgetown about 12:30 a.m. for driving without headlights."

That is a valid reason to perform a traffic stop.

I do not agree with that but it is the law, I would suggest that the people of DC need to speak up about it. I sure would.

I'll amend my statement


"It is IMPOSSIBLE, in all fifty states, to blow above the legal limit if you ONLY HAD ONE.

Happy now?

She says this :"Whatever the rules are, I will abide by them. I just didn't know these were the rules."


That is honorable on her part. Here the law is clear about .08. You can see that on TV you can see it on billboards and it is also a part of gaining your driver license to begin with.

I applaud her fighting that and would have done the same.

Note. Being that you said nothing , just a copy and paste, i responded the best I could to what you posted.

My only intention was to contradict what you said about a single glass of wine not getting anyone into trouble. And I think the larger point is that the BAC is a moving target. It used to be .1, now it's .08 and the precedent has been established in DC that it's basically anything detectible.
