Nicole McClure said she spent hours in a jail cell, enduring taunts, until a delayed medical check revealed that she had a life-threatening problem with her brain.
One can be drunk driving without exceeding the legal limit, at least in the states I’ve looked into. Being under that limit is not necessarily a defense, and if your driving is impaired due to alcohol, you are still drunk driving. It’s just that being over that limit is a crime regardless of how impaired you appear.
Use a breathalyzer maybe? How can you charge someone with drunk driving if you have no proof they’re drunk?

Wouldn’t the next step be to a hospital for a blood alcohol test …… or diagnose a brain bleed?
Yes, in fact if you refuse a breathalyzer many jurisdictions just take you right to the hospital as policy.
