Surprised this wasn't a more clickbait headline:
Seriously though, what stops this from being a go to strategy for anyone pulled over on suspicion of a DUI? I guess you could argue it's tampering with evidence?
In Germany, you could be hit with a DUI up to 6 hours after your incident.
Meaning if you got into a crash and then went home. You decide to take a drink to calm your nerves, and then the police knock on your door 3 hours later... You'll still get a DUI.
This man was still arrested and got lucky with the judge. A lot of judges would probably love to throw the book at this guy.
Some states have open container laws. I suspect the consequences for breaking that law are less than for DUI though.
