Funny how many here are quick to blame the cop and the "victim" here is someone who chose to drive drunk.
What if the cop hadn't stopped her in the driveway and just a block down the road she hit and killed someone? The cop might have prevented that, but he's the bad guy? Get real.
She brought this on herself. Lawyer up and learn from it.
How could the cop tell she was drunk in the driveway unless he observed her intoxicated before she got in the vehicle?
If she was such a danger to the public, you'd think he would have intervened before then?
Common sense.
Common sense is not driving if you've been drinking.
Depends on whether you think arresting someone or stopping them from driving while drunk is more important. If it really happened the way OP said and cop was watching her before she got in the car he easily could’ve hit his lights to get her attention, told her not to be stupid and to go into the house before she got into trouble
I understand your point, but that perspective is taking all responsibility away from her and putting this on the cop. Bottom line, she shouldn't have got in the car.
Also, how is the cop to know how many times she's done this before? Generally when a person is busted for a DUI, they've gotten away with it many, many times before.
