I know that’s the standard practice, Lanny. I think most people are of the belief that some of the standard police practices need to be revisited. I am certainly not minimizing drunk driving as a problem, but I think there could be a set of standards that would allow for a mobile booking process in some cases. No prior DUII convictions, no outstanding arrest warrants, alcohol level below a set standard, no history of domestic abuse, and other appropriate limitations could be employed. Obviously, you take the car and you arrange to get the person sent home. All I know from watching the video is that everything was cool until they tried to put the cuffs on the guy. Some policies like I outlined above and the guy is at home with his family today trying to find a good attorney for his court date.
