      You mean to say they didn’t intercept any intoxicated dangerous criminals behind the wheel who have absolutely no care or consideration for their or anyone else’s safety and put their “right to drink” above human lives despite hundreds of people driving in this condition then fining them less than offenses which present no danger to anyone.

        *intoxicated dangerous criminals behind the wheel who have absolutely no care or consideration for their or anyone else’s safety*

        And that includes everyone DUI of any mind altering drug . You keep acting like booze is the only one and you know better.

    Yes there were custodial arrests. The term “custodial” refers to the suspect being in custody. It doesn’t necessarily mean handcuffs. Rather, it means that the police have deprived the suspect of his or her freedom of action in any significant way. A traffic stop an “arrest” within the meaning of Miranda? ) “Interrogation” means questioning.
