Many people giving opinions without looking very closely at the facts.
Here are a few to consider:
from a Georgia lawyer: https://archive.is/wip/Spxlz
Georgia has a legal DUI limit of 0.08 percent blood/alcohol concentration.
how many drinks it takes to reach the legal limit?
This is not a straightforward question because different people’s bodies react differently to alcohol.
The guidelines suggest a person who weighs about 100 lbs., will reach the limit of 0.08 after just one drink.
A person who weighs 160 lbs. might pass a breath test after three servings.
You may pass a test but you should be aware that Breathalyzers are not always reliable.
Prior to increased emphasis on drinking & driving in the 1980s
standards of 0.10%-0.15% were in place across the country.

At Atlanta, the eastern route split off toward Madison, Georgia, with the western continuing to Macon along the present U.S. Route 41; then Georgia State Route 49, U.S. Route 19, and U.S. Route 319 to Tallahassee;
from video cam 1:
@6:30 Old Dixie Hwy referred to by Rayshard Brooks
@7:20 officer responds, "no, quite a ways away from it"
@7:30 refers to "a bridge" officer says "no, no bridge"
(there was a highway overpass)
@7:38 officer says "you're not near Old Dixie Highway"
and "you're not even in Clayton County"
@7:45 officer says "Old Dixie Highway is not in Atlanta"

drive around the area near the Wendy's at 125 University
and it looks very much Black culture
As I looked for the "bridge" Brooks referred to
I saw an intersection to the East with 4 ralilroad tracks
and I thought surely this is where "the bridge" was
and another bridge west under the highway.
There was no bridge over the span of tracks.
It looks dangerous.
It also looks like a TRAP, and might well FEEL like a trap
every time those trains go by and traffic backs up.
Then I wondered who the "girl" was he was drinking with.
Did she see his wad of cash in his pocket?
Did she have a prior charge against her perhaps
so that she would clue the "local cops"
when she saw a good mark or target ?
As the cop said "you're not even in Clayton County"
I thought… was he warning Brooks of the near future?
No bridge ? No Clayton County ? No Dixie Highway?
It would have spooked me if a cop was laying that down on me.
And the cop looked like a PERV.
Question: are there many missing people that can be traced to that police department ?
yea. I'm thinking KKK and/or perv recruitment
Some local jails are HORRIFYING.
They all need to be cleaned up.
For instance, Oklahoma County Jail is known
as a hell hole run by prisoners.
I've heard that ambulances are COMMON at their door.
CLEAN THIS CRAP THE HELL UP
–
Police should have car locks for such situations.
Lock the car, no need to tow it.
Get it unlocked after agreeing to a breathilizer installed on vehicle.
This was a rental car
So, they should have taken the keys and delivered them to the rental agent.

IF POLICE WERE REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT DRUNK DRIVING
they would sit outside any bar in town giving sobriety tests.
But no
this is like the laws against marijuana
The law is useful when there is someone they need to strongarm.
The law gives police an excuse to search vehicles
sometimes confiscating all their property.
These are facts.
This is what we live with.
Pick and choose who you enforce the law on.
FIX IT
