if we are to have BAC of 0.08 = automatic arrest, i do not think police should be able to make judgement calls about people's sobriety.
it's either that or allow the police to make judgement calls and get rid of the automatic requirement. officers like this do need to be dismissed and charged themselves for false arrest when this happens, but i do think judgement calls are, most of the time, a better alternative
in this day and age where everything the police officer does in a traffic stop is recorded, you think it would have been obvious to her superiors
