.14 is pretty drunst. Here in california .08 is the legal limit --- which is sort of bullshit because a similar situation happened to me but I happened to get a really great lawyer. If it was up to me I would have gotten it pretty bad because I failed a breathalyser and blood test. But I was just at the legal limit (.08) because I drank one pint of beer (I'm kinda skinny and short-ish) which most people would assume they would not be anywhere near being drunk. But, when they pulled me over they made me wait almost 45 minutes for a car to come with the right working equipment so my lawyer could argue that my blood alcohol level had enough time to rise to that point and I would have never have been drunk going where I was going if they had just let me go on my way. In the end, I got off with a light wet reckless and they never suspended my license or anything & time served with my night in the slammer. Oh man -- I was also on a fucking date, too! So I was all glammed up with make up and 5 inch heels. Nothing sucks more than spending the night in jail with a cute dress on.
But it was a total set up. They watch people leaving the bar, walk to their car in the lot across the street, follow them with the cop car headlights off and cause an almost fake accident and then pull you over for reckless driving if you almost hit a cop car trailing behind you with no lights on. wtf is up with cops and their sleazy tricks.
Sorry dude, get a good lawyer. It's worth it. Mine cost me a good 5,000 but saved me a lot more I woulda lost not working. I was in the middle of a pretty heavty contract.
- why would your BAL rise if you're not drinking? what kind of logic is that?GreedoLives
- Cops can be sleazy, but drinking while driving is one of those things where there is no excuse. To people, in general.Jaline
- you have been drinking while waiting?vrmbr

- no. we were just sitting in the car with the cop car waiting for yet another one to come. Had i gone straight home and never got pulled over -- I wouldnt have been legally "drunk" behind the wheel.
I basically got off on a technicality. But for small people 1 drink = enough to get rolled.shellie - woulda been drunk behind the wheel. i got off on a technicality.shellie
- the alcohol take time to process into your blood stream - so it continues to rise for somethingg like an hour evenflashbender
