Suppose you were stopped for suspected DUI and found to be over the limit by the police’s breath analysis or the mobile DUI processing van’s blood test, but the police officers did not cite you at the scene. Are you free and clear?

When courts start getting creative in their use of adjectives (sometimes letting normally cool, detached writing styles slip for the briefest of moments), it can be a sign that an attorney has pushed the limits of procedural rules or decorum, if not entirely ignored them.
