A friend of mine became a lawyer recently and he told me of a fine discussion he had with fellow students about drinking at the wheel.
Notice children! This is dangerous! Do not ever try this at any wheel!
He told me that when stopped by cops for driving in circles you should always have a fifth of Jäger with you and immediately drink it in front of the cops. Now you can blame your alcohol blood level on said bottle and it`s their`s to prove otherwise.
Your thoughs?

Re: A lawyer told me
I'm no lawyer, but it seems to me that this would simply result in an additional charge of tampering with evidence, and then have the extra BAC added to your charge.oettinger wrote:A friend of mine became a lawyer recently and he told me of a fine discussion he had with fellow students about drinking at the wheel.

And perhaps a new charge of drinking in public/disorderly conduct/interfering with an officer's duties, depending on the situation.
This might also get you tasered/shot when you even reach for the bottle.
I would also point out that, at least in the US jurisdictions with which I'm familiar, you can be charged with drunk driving even if the vehicle is stopped and parked. All that is required is that you be behind the wheel and in possession of the keys, with a BAC over the limit.
If we could only locate Alex, we could make him do it and see how it turns out.

Re: A lawyer told me
As a side thought, the puke-fest resulting from chugging that much room-temperature Jäger would probably be spectacular. Might even make the TV news.oettinger wrote:a fifth of Jäger

This lawyer friend sounds inexperienced in the ways of Booze, Law, and Ethics.

Re: A lawyer told me
Very True. I had a friend who got a DUI while parked. He made the right choice of sleeping in his car instead of driving home. His mistake was putting the keys in the ignition to turn the heater on. Cop said that was intention to drive.booznik wrote: I would also point out that, at least in the US jurisdictions with which I'm familiar, you can be charged with drunk driving even if the vehicle is stopped and parked..

Re: A lawyer told me
They did this on one of those edgy legal drama's in the 90's, sort of... Guy was in an accident after day-drinking. He was on the phone with his lawyer either during or right after the accident. Lawyer told him to take a big hit off of a bottle in front of all the witnesses.oettinger wrote:

If I had a lawyer, I would hire one who's advice was only to drink cheap 'Murrican beer in the morning, and then some rum for a noon-time snack, and then when thirsty, moar cheap beer.
It hydrates the liver.
I would pay that lawyer with cheap beer, and he would thank me.
How you doing, ole chap?
