“MADD’s public comments are going to look silly when the DUI charges are dropped. A report posted late yesterday indicated that Springsteen’s BAC was only 0.02%, which isn’t even close to the legal limit for intoxication in any U.S. state. “
Seriously, 0.02? One beer, maybe? I’m still glad they busted him, since he’s a liberal, but I don’t like the precedent it sets.
I’m pretty sure he was facing charges for reckless driving and trespassing anyway — even if he was totally sober. Apparently he was given the sobriety test simply because he had an open alcoholic beverage container while driving. This alone might make it a DUI case even if the BAC reading was very low.
