It sounds to me like budget was an issue. He told me last night that his lawyer advised him to file an appeal to the ruling, but not to expect the appeal to be heard. At this point, he just wants to put this behind him and move on. As far as what he blew, I don't know if he blew a zero or blew an error message. He did tell me before that he thinks he was ketotic at the time.cb1000rider wrote:There are various occupations where refusing to blow can have automatic consequences.

He blew zero, failed a single part of field sobriety, and they convicted him? That reeks of poor representation (or maybe limited budget). Water under the bridge, I suppose, but now he's in a really bad spot if he ever offends again.
Anyway, he hasn't seen his terms of probation yet, so he doesn't know if there's a fun restriction there or not.
