He was arrested for impersonating a stereotype.

They do use roadside testing. I don't know about all states, and because it's a state law, some may not. With 50 states, it's hard to keep track of all the laws on a given topic. I do know there are plenty of states where a test after the fact is still acceptable, and I don't see a problem with that. I can reasonably and accurately tell you what his BAC was. What difference should it make? |

They can't do that. The human body produces different results for everyone and they can't get an accurate reading by doing this.

Not denying it. I don't know the human body well enough to comment. I just know they can't get away with it. There needs to be a reason they didn't test him when they arrested him.

Sorry they did test him but where are the results?

You see, in several states, you don't need to actually do a field test. You can take someone in on suspicion of DUI/DWI and test them when you bring them in. In short, they don't need a reason. They can "get away with it," and in all probability they will. Metabolic differences that would put him outside the standard variance I already gave are rare enough that it qualifies as beyond a reasonable doubt, the tenet of American law in the first place. It's actually more probable that there would be a suffificent variance in the BrAC test itself, and that's improbable enough that arguing it would never succeed in court. In other words, it's not 100% certain, but it's "close enough for law." Quote:

Why don't you offer to represent him, Rob?
But yeah, sounds a bit fucked up he apparently failed 3 times including at the roadside, but the highest number they have is below the limit. His weariness could be due to being tired. I mean, he is a pro wrestler working for Vince. Sounds like a naive thought, but is entirely likely. |

You're right about naive.

Oh, and the English law for this basically emphasises what Rob is saying.

Also, when they say he failed two sobriety tests, they mean the balance and step tests. These are enough to bring someone in, and don't qualify as things that would be readily explained by "working for Vince," except if used in the phrase "You'd have to be high to..."

Well, Ive driven a car tired as fuck before, after a few beers. Ive not been drunk but I have occasionally, due to the tiredness, not the drinking found my self struggling to concentrate. Had I been pull I may have suffered the same fate of only being on the edge of the limit.
I already stated that it seems naive. It honestly didn't need re-iterating by you when you have no more facts or evidence to prove me wrong. |

Rob is English, and I'm just assuming he wouldn't have expected the US law to be so 'well, it's close enough for us' about it. |

Although, that in itself would have been naive. Vicious cycle.

DNA's "close enough," too. Do you guys think relying on that is unexpected? |

Doesn't stop my original point that the argument you are having is simply the difference in the national law on the subject.
And although, as you say they are 'relying on scientific probabilities that are far beyond any reasonable doubt', still doesn't make it fucking fact. Comparing DNA evidence with blood alcohol levels and speed of decline? Whatever, dude. |

I failed a field sobriety test one time, but I have dangerously flat feet and was wearing flip flops. So, I couldn't walk the line.

I would accept the reading on my blood alcohol level at the time of arrest. Not two hours later, using nothing but probability to determine the level at time of arrest. Especially as the rate of decretion can potentially variate dramatically, even if by probability, it won't.
I accept science, not probability, dressed up as fact. I mean, what is this? Lets try to argue about fuck all day or something? Nothing I said was invalid or incorrect. Just because you use sarcastic undertones in your response doesn't give you any highground. |

Bob Barnett is a lawyer (California mind you) and he says it's gonna get thrown out because they don't have a failed test or a failure to take one.
