Agreed. I've been pulled over as the DD where I know I had a singular beer, six hours before (and I also work in EMS, and am very used to the whole 'two beers' excuse).
"Keep your head straight, follow the pen with your eyes as I move it left and right".
"Based on your eyes twitching when you got to the edge of the field of vision, I would like to breathalyze you".
Oh, look. 0.0. Perhaps my eye response was due to the fact that I was standing near your patrol car, and as I looked that way, my eyes had to adjust from 2am darkness to high intensity, strobing lights.
Unable to book me for DUI, he ticketed me for disobeying a traffic signal (which I later contested and won).
Still had the gall to tell me "You got off lucky tonight".
