Comment on Just got arrested for a supposed DWI even though I blew a 0.0000000. Don't cops need to read your Miranda rights to you? I asked for a blood or hair follicle test and I was denied. WTH is happening?

Nah. Cops writing tickets don’t that leeway. If they aren’t 100% certain of an infraction like this, they shouldn’t be stopping the driver. His doubling down after being shown proof establishes that he is willing to lie.

People can be “100% certain” of things that never happened; it happens all the time.

  Yes, but in court, cops are given the assumption of higher accuracy. So they logically should be held to a higher standard.

    No matter how much we expect/hope/demand cops to be superhuman, they will never be.

    That’s not superhuman. It’s training. Before radar guns were so easy to get and such, they trained cops on estimating speed. And then they tested them to ensure their accuracy before letting them write speeding tickets. But now… they get the bare min training.

    If it’s the one-handed woman texting-while-driving viral video, I’m aware of it
