DWI arrest?
A friend of mine got stopped and was given a Breathalyzer which read 5.2, which obviously was impossible to have. The cop was about to let him go when another cop showed up and tried another test which showed .8, so he was arrested for that along with Open Container, running a red light and underage possesion etc.
First of all is that really fair to do?
Secondly, he was driving his friends car, will that have an effect on anything?
5.2 is an invalid reading. The Officer is now required to do another test, or take the individual to have blood drawn.
