Or Offer "Officer, if I Could Walk, I Wouldn't Need the Car, Now, Would I?" Sometimes, Pity Is Your Only Defense against the Long Arm of Law

A Salt Lake City man with several driving under the influence charges on his record was arrested again for the same thing....

Court documents say when the officer approached the car, he could smell alcohol. Police then asked him to take a field sobriety test, but he refused, saying he'll just fall down
.


Next time (and, sadly, there'll be a next time, you and I, both, know it), invoke the "reasonable accomodations" clause of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. Demand a written exam.
