On 5/3/07, according to report 07-007862, Redmond Officer Jason Cassidy made a traffic stop on a vehicle that engaged in an "unsafe lane change." The officer "smelled alcohol" on the driver's breath, and the driver admitted having one beer at a friend's house. The officer had the driver do FSTs and described the performance as "poor completion." The officer "determined [the driver] was affected by alcohol," and arrested the driver.
Despite these significant "observations," at the station, the driver blew .000/.000 on the breath test.
This older information may be helpful to you in future cases with this officer.

I've never seen a DUI report that didn't include "bloodshot and watery eyes". Perhaps the State could save time with their forms by having the check marks by these items pre-printed? As far as the odor, we need to keep reminding the cops and the courts that the odor of beer comes not from the alcohol, but from the hops, and non-alcoholic beers create the same odor without the intoxication. Thus, it's not a reliable sign.
