They won't give you a breathalyzer if they think your stoned. If he doesn't smoke tell him to pee in a cup.

[Conki]

Its too bad your brother didnt take a breathalyzer. Had he of done so they really have no authority to take him in. Atleast thats what happened to me.

-Failed Eye test
-Unable to walk a straight line
Immediatly put into back of squad car
-Blew for a breathalyzer

Wow you are messed up, being sober, unable to walk straight and failing the eye test

FYI. Cops are writing everyone tickets for jackshit. If they don't generate income they will not get their pensions, or get laid off. It has nothing to do with public safety. It's basically armed robbery. Go to court for everything and fight it!

he should have just walked inside..he was already on his property..

lol

[Charlie]

again i only know what he told me since i wasnt there but i think what happened with that particular scenario is that he was not offered the breathalyzer, in his mind he was thinking "well let me pass these test and get inside to go to sleep and never hear about it again" but when the office did in fact lock him up he was too panicked and nervous to even think about the breathalyzer test. so yeah. what really perplexed me is that stuff i said before, is it legal to get sent to jail for those charges without proof and far after the incidents occurred?

Seems kind of spotty. They wouldn't book him for it if he didn't blow into a breathalyzer. If he never did and they still booked him for that, it seems like a pretty cut and dry thrown out of court case. Unless of course he refused the breathalyzer, that is a no brainer your going to jail.

[scabzzzz]

Without a breathalyzer, theres no real proof of drunk driving. Wont hold up in court.
Ive known people to get pulled over in their driveway over wild accusations before and it was usually bullshit. Hate to say it, but also usually racial profiling or profiling of some sort based on skin color, type of car, male, etc..

[Charlie]

So, did he refuse a breathalyzer?

90% of people on the road at 2am are gonna have alcohol in their system. Refusing a breath test is pretty much instant drunk tank in most places.

very true, he mightve been drinking but they didnt use a breathalyzer and when the cop "pulled him over"(?) he wasnt driving he was out of the car, keys were out of the ignition. that plus the fact that there is no proof that he did a burn out, and it seems unlikely that the cop was posted at a private street that is not known for speedy drivers, at 2 in the morning, clocking the cars that go by that night. i think he can beat it
