Everyone processes alcohol differently. The sole reason I was pulled over was because the police had been marking vehicles in a lot. If I wasn’t able to defend myself in court it would have been life changing. If I was guilty then rightfully so, it should have been. If I’m guilty of something, I’ll take my lumps and I have. But when a person is innocent and knows such, there needs to be a course that can be followed to defend themselves. Subscribing to a system in which you’re guilty just because they say you are is downright scary.
