Chicago DUI lawyer says sometimes you shouldn't follow police instructions

This Chicago DUI lawyer has posted here about a young man getting a DUI after being ordered by the police to leave. Now we have a father being charged with a DUI after being told by the police to come down to the station.

August 13, Cumberland, PA

A man who was called to come pick up his daughter after she was charged with underage drinking on July 17 was charged with DUI himself, according to state police at Carlisle.

Police said they were called to the 200 block of Academic Way in Shippensburg Township at 1:15 a.m. that night on a report of a loud party. They found that a number of the attendees were under 21 and had consumed alcoholic beverages, they said.

One of them was Kristina Ann Kushnir, 20, of Shippensburg, police said, and she gave false information about her identification. They charged her with underage drinking and false reports to law enforcement authorities, police said.

Kushnir’s father, 52-year-old Kurt Kushnir, also of Shippensburg, came to pick her up and was discovered to be intoxicated, police said. On Aug. 4 police filed charges of high rate of alcohol DUI and careless driving against him.
Here's a case where the Mr. Kushnir would have been better off telling the police no. You would think they may have shown him a bit of community courtesy by not charging him with a DUI given the circumstances. I don't think his chances are high for a successful entrapment defense.
