Brickbat: Zero Tolerance

After Austin,
Texas, police pulled Larry Davis over for running a red light, they
asked him to take a breathalyzer test. He agreed, knowing he hadn’t
had anything to drink. Sure enough, he blew 0. In fact, he even
came up clean on a blood
test
 that looks not only for alcohol but for seven types
of drugs. The cops still arrested him for DWI. Prosecutors
ultimately threw out his case. In fact, local prosecutors say they
throw out about 30 percent of DWI cases because the Austin police
have so little evidence.
