People used to kinda/sorta respect the CHP, but almost 5 hours AFTER the accident is when the breathalyzer was taken? Old bastard was drunk on his ass if he blew a .08 5 hours later. BAC goes down at .0015 per hour...guy was almost blackout stage when he blew the stopsign. Who else would get a 4 or 5 hour postponement?

He can then argue that he had to have a couple of drinks after he got home to settle his nerves and that is why he blew the .08. I wonder why this wasn't considered a hit and run?


Yep he is gonna skate on the DUI for sure based on the time elapsed and the fact they cant prove he was drunk at the time of crash. Might end up with a leaving the scene ticket etc
