Should the police really have this sort of discretion? This is one of the reasons I find it so difficult to trust police officers because you really don't know how they're going to treat you. If you're stupid enough to get into this situation, make sure you lawyer up.

I'm pretty sure police do it because they'd rather solve the problem there then charge the guy with impaired and the judge letting him go with a minor or no sentance.
