I might not should tell this but here goes. I am a retired police officer. I once charged a man(who by the way was a alcoholic) for DUI. His Blood Alcohol reading was in the 20’s best as I can remember. About a week later he came before a judge who knew him and the judge was sort of making light of his reading. Get this,I told the judge this man is drunk today and the judge just laughed. He knew the man supposedly well enough and ask him to take a Breathalyzer and the man agreed.I think this man may have walked to court this day because he lived close by. The man took the Breathalyzer and promptly ran in the mid 20’s. Needless to say the judge was astonished. By the way I have no doubts the readings were correct in both cases. This happened over 40 years ago is the reason I cant give the exact readings.
