Never stated the cop should get off. I was responding to those that wanted the driver to get off scott free.

Why her atty got the judge to throw out the BAC on her late spouse claiming his Drinking and Driving had nothing to do with his accident.
You bring up an excellent point there....Every construction job and every driving job I've ever had,I had pre employment drug testing and then randoms throughout employment.....I worked as a LEO in three different states and was only drug tested pre employment in ONE!!!!! AND the woman left the office and went down the hallway when I took it.Never checked me,the bathroom or anything prior to me entering and blatantly gave me a chance to cheat if there had been a reason to.NEVER had randoms or anything like that and I knew more than one pill popping, weed smoking, drunken cop.Sad state of affairs really.And you are right...His old lady just won the lottery AND if nothings changed since I last heard,a free college education for her kids.
