Oh I agree but actaully it was my friend that was lucky and not me to a certain extent. They chose to not charge him with anything but yes I guess they could have.
However as far as me being lucky...the possible charge was "Aiding and abetting a DUI"...well since he didn't blow an .08...I could NOT be charged with anything since his .06 did not constitute a DUI. That is the exact words the magistrate used when the officer asked about me.
They could have charged my friend still being under the influence though as you and I both said.
Actually I WAS LUCKY on another point. There was a loaded Glock under the driver's seat that was mine. I immediatly told the officer about it too but no big deal was made of it I guess because we didn't give them any negative/cocky attitude at all at anytime
I do have a conceal carry permit but obviously that goes out the window when under the influence. I knew that at the time but again...after the officer's looked at it and since I had volunteered the info and everything checked out when they ran a check on it and my non existant criminal record...all was good. It may also have helped that I work in Executive Protection for a very large prominant company and work with LEO's and ex LEO's everyday.
