Typical governmental "do as I say, not as I do," hypocrisy. Had you or I
been stopped - smell of alcohol on breath or no smell of alcohol on
breath - 9 to 1 says you or I would be subjected to every field soberity
test imaginable intill failure and then arrested. But ofcourse, a cop
reeking of alcohol is sent on his merry way.
