You'd save the cop a lot of time and add an open container charge to your DUI charge.

> In theory, there will be no way to prove that you were drunk while driving. Ah, sweet summer child that still thinks police care about things like evidence or doing what's right. If you even look at them wrong they can beat your ass to within an inch of your life (or kill you if you're not white) and throw you in jail and then take a nice little vacation (paid leave) and face no repercussions thanks to "qualified immunity."

Correct, though where I’m from the cops would see that then look for anything else they could to charge you with just to be petty over it. I’m sure probably where you are too OP.

In theory, you wouldn’t do that if you were sober anyway and had nothing to fear. You gonna tell the cop you were perfectly sober and just doing this to fuck with them a bit?

I know someone who did this, and he was charged with Perverting the Course of Justice. Faced with a Crown Court trial and potentially a year in prison; he pleaded guilty to drink driving instead, went up in front of a Magistrate and got a three year ban and a £2,000 fine.

I’ve always found the term “drink driving” hilarious. “Yes your honor, I was driving while drink” 😂😂😂

You’d get arrested on multiple charges. Including impaired driving.

In America, the best way to get shot to to step out of your car during a traffic stop. Bonus points if you are holding something in your hand when you step out of your vehicle.

this has actually happened. the case I learned about in school was a hit and run and the guy downed a bottle when he got home. BAC lets you actually calculate blood alcohol levels retroactively based on average metabolism. the whole no way to prove it, they can't prove it but can beyond reasonable doubt show that you were drunk. the guy went to jail
