Really? If you have to justify driving impaired then there is something wrong, no matter how alcohol effects you.
Yes, please, lie to the police. That is definately the way to get out of being dumb.  |
Maybe I am wrong but I dont think anyone was justifying impaired driving as far as alcohol is concerned. I think the main arguement was what constitutes being impaired.
As for the comment about lieing. Hockeycop already covered it by saying if you decide to lie you will have to reap what you sow. Maybe your lie will work and you don't get caught but if it doesn't work, expect to get no breaks and the book thrown at you.
True, if you tell the truth, it doesn't guarantee a break but it would increase your chances of getting one.
I will say this. In my line of work, people who tell me the truth make my job a lot easier. Those people get a lot more credit in my eyes than people who try to play games and think they are smarter than me by making up stories. If I know someone is jerking me around I will do everything in my power (within the mandate of my job) to ensure that they are punished under the law. I can always tell who the people are that have been in trouble with the law before, because they are usually the ones that won't admit to what they have done and make up stories. It makes my job harder but it is also what makes my job challenging and rewarding at the same time.
