A guy told me, he carried an unopened pint of whisky when he was driving a little impaired, so if he was ever stopped, he would wait on the cop to look in his window, then he would break the seal and take a huge gulp right in front of the officer... Then open his door and go to jail. His defense would be he got nervous around police and needed to calm his nerves. The burden would have to be on the police to prove he became intoxicated before he was stopped instead of after.

Something like this actually happened with me as a witness. Long story, short, drunk on her butt girl plowed through my fence, destroying it, ran down the street, bouncing off parked cars like playing bumper cars, knocked on door, mom opened it, and they stood outside screaming at each other. As I was too shocked to do anything else, I watched them the whole time. Come court time, she told the judge that she was so shook up she dashed inside & took several large gulps of bourbon to calm herself down. I testified that she never went inside. Judge believed me but D.A. told me later that had i not been able to testify, she would have won the case. That she subsequently failed 3 separate sobriety tests would have been worthless.
