Sober driver charged with DUI... even though he had a 0.000 blood-alcohol content [AZ]

I’ve contended for years that people who just finished a hard/heavy weight training or cardio workout ride a post-workout “high” that can impair driving. I’ve personally experienced this more often than I can count.

Red eyes from swimming in an LA Fitness pool (probably very chlorinated as are most public pools), been stopped 10x for basically nothing, etc.

Just thugcops in action...

Janice Kay “Jan” Brewer(R)Governor of Arizona.

That might be enough incentive.

[Slings and Arrows]

Ah, gotcha. Which doesn’t change the fact this guy seems to have a legit beef.

[DuncanWaring]

Or Carefree.

Looks like these officers are taking George's advice.

That’s why they call this place Surprise!

If there’s no better evidence of DUI than erratic driving, he’ll probably skate in the court, but it does smell like generic harassment. The race card, it has long been maxed out however.

I don’t care what color he is. “We” have created an authoritarian nightmare no matter where a citizen lives or what he drives. Americans want to live in an impossible zero risk environment. Americans demand that any minuscule risk that can be identified be transfered to others. In otherwords Americans DEMAND that personal authority be transfered to strangers in order to save their sorry worthless Gubment cheese addled butts. I hope the dynamic duos of Sharpton and Jackson reign unholy, ridiculous hell on Suprise.

MAD wants to arrest you if you ever thought about taking a drink.

“this guy seems to have a legit beef.”

Agreed, the race angle would just be gas on fire.

[HiTech RedNeck]

“Hey you look intoxicated” well on what. Hot alcohol, obviously. I suppose they demanded either blood test for other possible intoxicants or forfeiture of license. But if the other possible intoxicants come up clean then the worst a sane prosecution should accuse would be erratic driving (not staying in lane whatever), a petty traffic offense. It’s really unconscionable to throw books at people when there’s no support for most of those books.

[HiTech RedNeck]

NOT alcohol! Not “Hot” alcohol lol.

Odd... I've played tennis for three hours and noted, while in the car afterward, my respiration was about six and my heart rate about 40. Never felt sleepy or tired but fully relaxed and rested.

I know it sounds weird but it's true.

[HiTech RedNeck]

There is a difference between a righteous anger and being MAD(d).

'An officer walked up and he said ‘I can tell you’re driving DUI by looking in your eyes.’ I take my glasses off and he says, ‘You’ve got bloodshot eyes.’

During allergy season I have both bloodshot eyes and a red nose.

I would be hauled in for DUI and assaulting the officer when I sneezed on him.

[Slings and Arrows]

And damaging police property by beating his nightstick with your skull.

[DariusBane]

LOL

I’ve been through that in a hick town in GA just because they didn’t like who I was in the car with. GA law at the time allowed accused to request a blood test. I demanded either a breath or blood test and the fat, stupid, inbred, cretin processing me laughed and said, “Boy, you ain’t getting shit. We can look at you and tell you’re drunk.” Of course I have no race card to play so I eventually just paid the fine. We were with a casual acquaintance we thought was on leave from the Navy. Turned out he was AWOL and wanted as a deserter. Cops felt they had to charge every one in the car with something. My brother and our friend had been drinking but I hadn’t.

A problem I will never have ... I tried working out once, it made my beer slosh out if its can.

In the immortal words of Willie Dixon:

I'm built for comfort, baby
I ain't built for speed.

Agreed. Sounds like the local police are out of control. Now everyone is going to have to fear DNA mouth swabs when stopped too. I hope he wins.
