By the way, if they say .08 is a crime, and I blow a .07 and still get put away, I'd be pissed, fwiw.

This is the BULLSHIAT part. All DUI's in CA have what's called and A and B charge.

Part A is the actual chemical reading which has to be over 0.07

Part B is the arresting officers OPINION... his OPINION.

In California, the DA is only required to prove ONE of the two charges for you to be penalized and found guilty.

Therefore, if the test says you're sober... but the officer "FEELS" you're drunk... you're charged.

If the officer feels your OK to go... you pass all the tests... BUT his partner shoves the breath test in your mouth and you blow over 0.07... you're charged.

It's like built in double jeopardy.

You can be as self-righteous about the status of DUI laws as you want, but there's one real easy way to avoid a DUI. Don't [censored] drink and drive. And especially, don't [censored] drink and drive if it's not even legal for you to drink.
