Why? When you have his kind of money and fame, best just to throw mountains of cash and lawyers at it until it goes away. Which it most certainly will

Sure, but it's just natural to get angry at being falsely accused of anything. I think he probably had a couple beers playing golf, but certainly wasn't drunk. That's why he played it so cool.

I think Tony is a naturally very friendly person.

Yeah, it didn't seem much different than how he appears on TV. Certainly didn't seem plastered. Also seemed like she had him pulled over in the worst spot. Neither of them could hear each other.

Correct. The margin of error on a breathalyzer can be as high as .05! One drink can raise your BAC to.03. .08 is typically the benchmark for intoxication.

In addition, field sobriety tests are designed to be subjective and impassable by the average sober human. Thus, both tests administered in the field are essentially rigged to give a false positive.

The only accurate test is a blood test, and that requires a warrant. The time required to obtain a warrant also gives time for alcohol in the blood stream to potentially dissipate.

If multiple blood tests are taken, they can observe how BAC rises or falls and extrapolate what it was at the time the driver was pulled over, but this conjecture is considered much less persuasive in court than a positive breathalyzer or failing a field sobriety test.

Thus, always decline the field sobriety test, and never consent to the breathalyzer unless you have had absolutely zero alcohol to drink and haven’t used mouthwash recently.
