Guess I don’t know how long he was drinking but he had to be on a mission lolYep... I would have been sound asleep about 5-6 drinks prior to that level

I'm starting to think I'm the only one that doesn't want people driving even if they're only a little drunk?
Not to bad of an average. What about his on base percentage and slugging average though?That's a decent batting average.
I don't want them driving either. Maybe my "shrug the shoulder" comment was in bad taste - slap on the wrist vs punching them in the face?
I think it depends where you are located too. Unfortunately, drunk driving seems to be more widely accepted in rural areas where there aren't as many alternative ways home like uber, cabs, public transportation, and also a lot less lives are at risk. I know many people in small towns and rural areas plan the bars they go to by how much gravel they can be on on the way home. The more gravel between the bar and home, the better.
At the end of the day I think there is a difference between driving at a .09 level and driving at a .3 level, and the punishment should reflect that difference.

We should have a progressive OWI charge based on BAC. Someone that gets an OWI at .09 and I shrug my shoulders, someone gets an OWI in the 3s and I want to punch them in the face for being a danger to the rest of us.
Is it strange that the field test was .325 and the additional sample at the station was "down" to .220? Both are way to high, I'm just wondering about the variability. Maybe he was so drunk they weren't concerned with getting the additional sample in a timely manner?
Glad no one was hurt and hopefully he can get it figured out. Between these numbers and a Monday night/Tuesday morning bender scream that help is needed.

Without looking it up, I believe there is some sort of "aggravated" number where they usually don't or can't plead the offender down, I believe it's over .15 and the punishment is more severe, or something along those lines.
No. This is why you can't use the field test in court. Those breathalyzers aren't that accurate. The machine at the station is much more accurate, and the only reading that goes into court.
Emmert's BAC was .220, legally.
I get that field breathalyzers aren't accurate enough to legally stand in court, but +/- 0.105 seems like a waste of time when trying to decide if someone is above .08 or not. Maybe he was so hammered in the field they weren't worried about the 15 minutes you are supposed to observe a person to make sure they didn't just burp or something else that would throw the numbers off.

The idea that .3 and .08 are treated the same is wild.
There is a very significant difference in the danger to society presented in each instance.
Saw the thread title and was hoping it was Chad.
