Not Ranked
I hope we all have learned from this.
NEVER voluntarily agree to a blood or urine test.
Breathalyser tests can be disputed in court by a good attorney and they can be much less reliable to actually showing the party's BAL. Blood and urine are saved and are repeatable. Harder to dismiss.
He passed the sobriety test and would have walked if he hadn't given the blood test. Then he nailed his own coffin.
I feel sorry for him and might have done the same thing (but never in the Cobra, in California, if drunk, your car gets towed and impounded) if I was in his position.
He made an adult decision, albeit the wrong one, got caught and is going to pay for it now.
Unfortunate, as there were other options he might have considered (if he wasn't under the influence and thinking straight).
The cop was doing his job.
