10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Cops suck and all but honestly how were they supposed to know that? If the symptoms of this and drunkenness are roughly the same and they’ve encountered 1000 DUIs to 1 brain bleed then they’re going to assume brain bleed.
To a hammer, every problem is a nail
Use a breathalyzer maybe? How can you charge someone with drunk driving if you have no proof they’re drunk?
One can be drunk driving without exceeding the legal limit, at least in the states I've looked into. Being under that limit is not necessarily a defense, and if your driving is impaired due to alcohol, you are still drunk driving. It's just that being over that limit is a crime regardless of how impaired you appear.
Breathalyzers are useful but not all you need nor can they be depended upon. I’ve blown 0.0 at least three times in my life after drinking.
No I don’t drink and drive but cops like to show up to parties of college/high schoolers and make them blow if underage. I had it happen several times and blew 0.0 while drinking before 21, thankfully never got caught underage drinking
Wouldn’t the next step be to a hospital for a blood alcohol test ….. or diagnose a brain bleed?
Yes, in fact if you refuse a breathalyzer many jurisdictions just take you right to the hospital as policy.
