Comments:

To me, the above seems like "selective law enforcement"......Why was the "59 year old female" with a strong odor of alcohol given a ride home?? If that was me, or just about anyone else, there would have been an arrested for DWI.....I'm sorry, it just seems to be a bit unfair....

I agree, Jim. If I thought that it was being done out of compassion and concern I *might* go for it. But when was the last time they gave a troubled youth a ride home instead of busting him/her for some minor offense? Naahh, I ain't buyin' it...
