but essentially it's a failed prosecution following a car accident that none of us witnessed or heard the evidence presented, but seems to get many in a huge tizz with some angry certainty that an injustice has been done. That's why they print these pointless stories, because people like getting impotently outraged. If there's comments, all the better, so it can be some shared outpouring of bile. Personally I think papers like this play their readers like fiddles. There's really no other interest here. If the police want to charge someone with drink driving they need to arrive on the scene early enough to establish they're drunk behind the wheel, or have some other evidence. Unless you're suggesting we do away with the presumption of innocence that underpins the british legal system since medieval times to satisfy your uninformed sanctimony, I don't know what the fuck you're on about
