well, they took his blood alcohol level over 2hrs after they got to the precinct. If it was me, they would have done it at the scene. but I do not really drink anymore. ---

> [@weekend-warrior](#): > > [police] took his blood alcohol level over 2hrs after they got to the precinct. I think that’s the advice you’d get from a personal lawyer, in DUI situations for the client to try to delay the test for as long as possible. > [@Nevada\_545](#): > > Perhaps you could buy it for $75,000, how much are you willing to spend? hmmm … $7500? ---

0.08 is the normal legal driving limit for blood alcohol content. I don’t know what happens to a person at 0.82, as the news reports. That’s something like 200 ounces of wine. 0.082 would hardly qualify as a DUI. ---

0.8% = dead ---

And for guys like me and @eddo that have a CDL, the legal limit to drive is 0.04 . . . at ANY time, whether we’re “on duty” or not To clarify . . . if my girlfriend and I were to go out this weekend and I have enough drinks to blow 0.04 at a random sobriety checkpoint, I would legally be DUI > [@TheWonderful90s](#): > > 0.082 would hardly qualify as a DUI. I disagree 0.082 meets the legal definition of DUI ---

Same in OK with a CDL; it’s .04 and .08 for DUI. Of course there are exceptions for the state insurance commissioner, the city manager, and a U.S. District Attorney who sent a guy I know to the hospital after almost killing him. Friend was on a motorcycle and got thrown a 100 and something feet… The attorney claimed “Diplomatic Immunity” and refused to submit to any testing or surrender his drivers license while claiming city/state laws do not apply. Late night, falling down drunk, driving east in the west bound lanes of a divided highway in a black Lincoln with no lights on. He was never charged or punished in any way. Friend got a settlement but it did not come from the attorney. ---

> [@db4690](#): > > 0.082 meets the legal definition of DUI In Colorado as I recall the limit was 0.15 in 1960’s, early 70’s. But later lowered to 0.08. Doesn’t take more than a drink or two for .08. Me, I’m a light-weight drinker, feel dizzy event just after a couple of beers. Before Covid a 12-pack of beer would last me 3 months. Now, about 2 weeks, more stay-at-home time. Some years ago I had a gf with alcoholic tendencies who could drink an entire 6 pack over the course of an hour and not show any obvious effects. ---
