Blood test shows woman charged with DUI/felony child neglect was sober at time of arrest

[Sympthsical]

2. This happened to a buddy about ten years ago

He had been pulling double shifts for a week at a demanding job. He was driving home late at night after a long day, utterly exhausted. Apparently his driving appeared unsteady. He was pulled over. He explained where he was coming from, offered to have them contact his boss, etc. He failed the field sobriety test apparently. He insisted on a blood test.

He ended up having to go to court over the whole thing, but it was eventually dropped. He was out some lawyer's fees if I recall.

To be fair (with my buddy, not this story of child separation which is crazy), he probably shouldn't have been driving. Sleep deprivation can and has killed people on the road. Stories about truckers who haven't rested enough resulting in lost lives are more common than they ought to be.

Still, TF with these cops. Once you realize you're wrong, that should be the end of it. But no, they went full power trip.
