      Alternatively, if you know you’ll blow 0s, demand the breath test at the station. The breath test on the side of the road only provides probable cause and is not itself admissible as evidence of actual intoxication. Blood tests can reveal other potential intoxicants like adderall or something. Depending on state they may be able to play a little fast and loose on what qualifies as “driving under the influence” even if it’s a prescribed medicine being used appropriately.

        One thing I saw somewhere cautioned against the breathalyzer because it’s sensitive to alcohol (as in hand sanitizer alcohol).

        That’s why some medications are “do not operate heavy machinery” on the label. A vehicle is heavy machinery and those medications can easily effect your abilities.

    Why would he still have a job after the third one?

    One could be an accident. Shit happens.

    Two? Possibly a coincidence. Maybe.

    3 ?? No he’s just stupid. Fire him.

    Holy crap he is a horrible person and a horrible cop. Not surprised the troopers didn’t find he didn’t anything wrong and the man continues to violate peoples rights.

    I knew a guy who worked for TBI. He “loved” busting people for DUI. They need a psychologist to come in and tell them what validity means. Generally, however, DUI people need to have their licence removed permanently.
