DUI Hypocrasy?

Memphis drivers aren’t the only ones receiving DUI’s these days. The following article is straight from the ap in Utah and shows where the former head of the Utah Highway Patrol pleaded guilty to DUI. Rembember, highway patrol members are the same individuals who are supposedly “experts” at knowing who is drunk and who isn’t drunk. This shows you that you shouldn’t necessarily trust the testimony of arresting officers.
WEST JORDAN, Utah (AP) - The former head of Utah Highway Patrol’s DUI unit has pleaded guilty to alcohol-related reckless driving.
Fred Swain crashed his police cruiser into a concrete barrier in June 2006. A breath test at the time revealed his blood-alcohol level to be 0.11 - in excess of the state’s legal limit of 0.08.
Swain’s plea to the class B misdemeanor charge was entered in 3rd District Court on Monday. It was actually his second guilty plea - he had already entered one in Draper’s justice court, but was appealing that conviction. The city prosecutor says he doesn’t know why Swain ended the appeal process.
