I'm not sure if there's any truth to this or not but I've heard something along these lines whereas if a cop came up to your car at a check stop and you took a drink in front of him (assuming you had alcohol in your car) that they can't give you the breathalyzer. You'd get charged for open liquor in a vehicle but not the more severe charge of DUI.
I'm by no means condoning this as an alternative or an option but curious if anyone else has heard similar or could clarify the reasoning behind this story (if true).
