I'm sure he could afford an Uber. There's a good chance he didn't need an Uber or didn't think he was impaired at all.
You can watch a beer commercial and blow .02.
I don't condone drinking and driving. I'm just saying there's a very significant difference in someone blowing a .02 and someone blowing a .16.
I haven't seen anything other than message board/ twitter rumors that suggest he had a .02 BAC, so it's tough to know if I should grab pitch fork, torches and rally the facebook AU moms or look for the big AU rug to sweep this under.

Chex is right here but If I am not mistaken, if you are involved in a accident and you register, you are going to be charged. I believe. Someone can correct me on that.
You guys are having way too much fun with this. Carry on

I am one to believe he wasnt shite faced, but buzzed. What I am not doing is latching onto the lowest number that qualifies for a DUI and assuming he just drank a glass of wine at Effinas.

Im with you and totally understand your point. Im just responding to the "Drinking up to a certain level is legal".
I think the legality of it changes in certain situations like a accident.
Here is what AI tells me.
quote:
In Florida, the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit for driving is 0.08%. If a driver is involved in an accident with a BAC at or above this level, they can be arrested for driving under the influence (DUI). While a BAC below 0.08% doesn't automatically mean a driver is free from consequences, it can still be a factor in an accident investigation, potentially leading to legal repercussions.
Elaboration:
Per Se Limit:
Florida, like most states, has a "per se" DUI law, meaning a BAC of 0.08% or higher is sufficient evidence to convict someone of DUI, regardless of whether they appear impaired according to Enjuris.
Impairment Below 0.08%:
Even with a BAC below 0.08%, a driver can still be charged with DUI if their normal faculties are impaired, meaning their ability to operate a vehicle safely is noticeably affected.
Accidents and BAC:
If a driver is involved in an accident, even with a BAC below 0.08%, their BAC and any observed signs of impairment can be considered by law enforcement, insurance companies, and potentially a jury.

. If the law is .02 and Tahaad was at or over .02 whatever justification you are trying to make is just stupid.

quote:you can be charged, but its not an automatic charge. It has to be proven you were impaired at the time of the accident, ie you were driving erratic. Or at least thats my understanding.
if you are involved in a accident and you register, you are going to be charged. I believe. Someone can correct me on that.

His pic looks like he was about 2 or 3 beers in, maybe 4.
the .02 is just the floor to be considered a DUI for anyone under 21.
ETA: So it was .02. The lowest number you can be charged with.

Yeah, that's true. But it is due to lawyers arguing the "passage of time" theory. It basically says that if you have an accident and wait for the police to come and work the accident and get everything sorted and it is determined you have been drinking your BAC was higher at the time of the accident.
That's what happened to a friend of mine just a few years ago. He was at a dinner and someone ran a light and hit him and he ended up in jail because he admitted he had had some wine. Went to the station and blew a .068. They held him until he had processed the alcohol, but was still charged and convicted (assume that was at the discretion of the local DA or municipal judge) due to them saying he was "probably" over .08 at the time of the accident. His defense attorney told him there was not much he could do but file a couple of motions to dismiss but there was precedence and tons of people had their convictions upheld under the same circumstances. He spent a ton of money appealing that conviction, but he is under the assumption that he will never win.

Much as I hate'em from AL.com
quote:
“We are aware of the situation and we will handle internally with Tahaad and his family,” head coach Bruce Pearl said in a statement to AL.com. “We take these matters seriously and will learn and grow from it moving forward.”
Pettiford took to social media to make his own statement Saturday night, apologizing for the arrest. “Last night, I made a serious mistake and one that I take full responsibility for,” the post read. “My actions put myself and others at risk, and for that, I’m deeply sorry. There is no excuse. “To my family, teammates, coaches, and fans, I know I’ve let you down. I understand the disappointment and concern that this has caused, and I want you to know that I’m taking this seriously. This is not who I am, and not who I will be. “I’m committed to learning from this moment and making meaningful, positive changes in my life. I’m grateful for the support and accountability of those around me, and I will work to earn back the trust I’ve lost.”

I like the idea of fines.
