It is based more on the standard field sobriety test. In Louisiana, if you've gotten to the point where the cop is asking you to blow into a machine, you are under arrest for DUI. The machine only supplements the officers case. For the record, .08 is likely way more alcohol than what you think.


Yea, I don't buy that. I passed a field sobriety test and still had to blow and blew .09 after 4 beers over a couple hours. The only reason he had for ignoring me doing the field test fine was because I was by a bar. It ended up getting thrown out.

And for the record, .08 is not a lot of alcohol. There are countless charts that show you exactly how much it is for gender and weight, and it's not much.

I don't buy this. The cop cannot arrest you if you passed the field sobriety test. The DUI narrative he wrote i'm sure clearly states you gave XXX number of clues indicating you were intoxicated. If 4 (12 ounce) beers in 2 hours put you over the limit, you are a lightweight.
