Unless he was driving erratic, and then it would make much more sense to charge him with reckless endangerment or some such shit.

Trying to get a DUI charge upheld with a BAC of .02 would be tougher.

I don't see how they could do it.

WARNING: DO NOT FOLLOW THIS ADVICE:

Always carry a cane with you. If a cop ask you to get out of the car and walk a straight line, wobble around on the cane like an idiot. "Sorry, officer, I'm having a problem with an old football injury."

Remember: Even if you're disabled (up to a certain point), you can still drive a car.

It is certainly easily abusable. In this case, because he's him, he probably has the upper hand RockRaven Feb 2021 #29
