I hope your 82 year old grandmother or mother don't get railroaded some day by the cops and then the legal system that's supposed to be there to uphold justice.

What proof was this? I didn't see this in the posted story. How are the cops supposed to know this at the time they're giving the breathalyzer? I agree that the cops didn't act with any kind of class, but anybody could claim they have a lung condition as a way of avoiding the breathalyzer test.
