Chicago DUI attorney thinks your Halloween costume shouldn't give the police probable cause for a DUI

This Chicago DUI attorney posted here about a BAC DUI costume.  Still, she’s now beginning to wonder if this is more the stuff of an urban legend.

November 2, Lincoln, NE:

The Halloween crime of the year torch appears to have been passed to Lincoln in 2010.

 Early Monday, a police officer pulled over a pickup being driven erratically by a man dressed as a Breathalyzer.

Matthew Nieveen, 19, was cited for second-offense driving under the influence and being a minor in possession of alcohol.

 "He was dressed as a PBT (preliminary breath testing) alcohol sensor and had been attending a Halloween party prior to the stop," the report says.

Police took Nieveen to Cornhusker Place, where, the report says, his blood alcohol measured more than twice the legal limit of .08 percent. The legal limit for minors is zero.

Nieveen also was cited for an open container violation and negligent driving before being released to detox staff.

 Perhaps young people should harness the power of social media to make sure that no one else gets charged with a DUI for wearing this costume.
