Clearly, the video did not show him drunk otherwise the prosecution would’ve been hell bent on trying to convict him. If he would’ve pled to a lesser charge, you could blame it on money and celebrity status. Dropping the charges = a mistake by the officer. Believe it or not, this is why I said the laws for DUI are unconstitutional & many of the arrests are made due to local gov’t needing revenue & perks the officers receive for arrests made…not convictions.

Of course you need both those elements ( lack of evidence and abundance of legal funds). If you or I refused to incriminate ourselves we’d probably still get screwed without the legal help to pull it off.

I know of plenty of people who were drunk as hell and even in accidents but could afford the defense and got witnesses to testify and got off. Then I know some who had a few drinks and weren’t even drunk at all, no prior anything, and were convicted, sentenced to jail, and basically made unemployable for life. If you want to drink and drive ( which is stupid anyway), be rich and/or be a judge or senator.

In other words the cops after figuring out who he was decided that they didn’t want the hassle.
Entitled, coddled and catered to.
Sure hope he doesn’t kill somebody next time.

What? If one were sober, shouldn’t the expectation be that they ACE a field sobriety test. I mean, I am pretty sure that if I had 20 beers and passed a few tests, but overall failed, that someone could say, “Boy, considering Javie was $#!% faced, he did remarkably well on the field sobriety test.”
