TAX DOLLARS AT WORK — FOR JUSTICE!

The California Highway Patrol was recently forced to turn over the largely pre-written police reports officers use in DWI cases. The templates come already completed with boilerplate language like, “As I spoke with the driver I smelled the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from his/her breath. I noticed that the driver had red watery eyes, as well as slow and slurred speech,” and “eyes showed lack of smooth pursuit, distinct nystagmus at the extremes and an onset prior to 45 degrees.”

Well, for higher DUI revenues, anyway.
