Post: MIC, incorrect BAC level
Posted by Patrick, Patrick_Callan@baylor.edu, on 2/02/04
I was in a parking lot at around 2:30 in the morning when a cop rolled up. He called me over to his car and asked me if i had been drinking. I said no and then he stepped out of his car. he took out a pen and started to do an eye test on me. He asked me again if I had been drinking and the second time i said yes. I didnt tell him this but I had started drinking around 7:30 and stopped around 12. I didnt have that much, maybe 10 or so. I told him I had a few beers. He took a breathalizer out and told me to take it. I told him i didnt want to and then he said he was going to take me to jail. I asked why and he would not respond. He said take the test and I asked what would happen if it showed up that I had been drkinging. He told me that if i didnt stop asking questions that he would put me in the car and take me to jail. So fear of being thrown in jail i took the test. I kept on trying to look at the breathalizer and he kept on backing up, I looked over one last time and he said he would tell me what it said in a minute and that i needed to stop. He made me walk to the front of the car and stand and wait. He never did show me the breathalizer and he just started writing out the ticket. I soon found out that he gave me a .53% BAC which is totally impossible for me. I am only 5'7 and 165 lbs. I have been doing research and to have a .53 BAC I would be close to death and already unconcious. It is obvious that this is bogus and that it isnt true. My question is would a judge recogonize the crazyness of this case and dismiss it? Should I get a lawyer?
