as the boards resident cop, i have a few questions. what town, what are the other charges (probable cause for the stop), did he refuse the test, if not, what were the readings, was there mobile video, if so, of the violation, or just the field sobriety tests, and the big one, how was his attitude. NOW, in my opinion, the only way to get out of a DWI is some type of fuck up on our part with the breath tests, such as expired machine certs, problems with the ampuole control numbers, expired operator, or failure of the operator to follow the checklist. ALL of this is prety doubtful......so, your friend should probably invest in a good 10 speed. I dont have a lot of compassion for 3 time offenders, and the truth of the matter is, its hard to beat.
