“A police supervisor at the district later ordered Ardelean to submit to a Breathalyzer, but Judge Thomas Gainer Jr. ruled in April that police had no probable cause arrest and detain him,let along force him to take the test, which did not show he was drunk”
I don’t know the case but it would seem that if he took a Breathalyzer and passed, that test should be much better proof than a very subjective “ he had bloodshot eyes and I smelled alcohol”. Am I missing something?
Blowing under the limit does not clear you of all charges. Blowing over the limit will help them to convict you.
Gainer is a connected name in Chicago. Terrence Gainer ran the State Police for a while. He’s a Republican and IIRC runs the police in the Capitol.
I wonder if this judge is related?
