I’m pretty sure that if they find a person drunk they have to take that person to a hospital to get a blood test and accurately gauge the alcohol percentage, the test also stands as proof.
How many other crimes are directly defined with a time-sensitive impairment?
If they allowed you to both call a lawyer and wait for them to arrive you could arrange for your lawyer to be a) 2+hrs away, b)alseep or c)any other time delaying tactic.
I agree I don’t like the status quo, but if you have a reasonable alternative that still allows them to catch people who are drunk driving, I’m all ears.
Because these are two different things, if you’re accused of murder they can use whatever you say against you, but in case of drunk driving it doesn’t matter what you say, what matter is the results of the test.

If you were accused of murdering and taken to the hospital for a blood test with a lawyer present people would lose their minds
But suspected drunk drivers it happens all the time without a lawyer present
