Saturday night last year, spent in the Old Meade County Jail, for DUI. Blew a .09. But the kicker was I wasn't pulled over. I had stopped to render aid. First on scene to two Brothers down. One in the middle if the highway, the other in the ditch not moving. As I lay on that concrete floor all night listening to the four other Bikers snore theirs off, I kept thinking that if I had just rode on by, I wouldn't be where I was. But that's just so wrong on so many levels. The guy in the ditch might not have made it. I told my story to the judge. Told her I did the right thing. Went to jail just cause some Young Buck cop smelled alcohol and I'm no good at passing breath tests. He never even saw me on the Bike. I admitted to riding it. Yea, I'd do it again. Cause it's Us vrs. Them especially at Sturgis. Good luck to all those at the Sturgis Cop Rally.

Always carry a pack of gum or mints.

Actually I've always found not drinking and driving to work best but I guess that's just me.  Kudo's to you for helping the injured but the young cop was doing his job and you broke the law.  End of story.

Cheers, Moe

You did the right thing in helping a down biker.

Sorry to hear about the Law Enforcement issue.

Cop friend of mine told me to always carry one of the small airplane-type bottles of vodka with me at all times.  Said if you ever get pulled over, get out, drop the keys in plain view of the officer, and then chug down the vodka.  Said there would be no way to prove DUI, only charge could be public drunk or interference with an officer.

Never had to try this as I'm one of those "Drink - NO DRIVE" folks, but does sound plausible.  Even if they pull a blood test when they get you to the station it can't prove when the alcohol actually "entered" your system, and the cop's video will certainly provide a good defense and time stamp for at least one stiff drink out of the vehicle.....

And yes, no doubt you did the right thing by stopping.  Sorry they didn't see it that way and give you a break......

You did the right thing to stop an help and kudos to you.  And stopping to help got you off your bike could have saved your life or the life of an innocent person.  No offense but .09 is way, way to far gone to operate a motorcycle or even a cage safely.  You were lucky you did not get hurt imo.

Don't think that would work as you're still in possession of/access to the vehicle even tho the keys are on the ground.  JMHO.  spyder

Throw them!

Hopefully that was an awakening to keep you from drinking and riding!  Glad you survived that night.  If we expect cagers to refrain from drinking and driving, there's no excuse for us not following that law.
