Brandon Reilly DUI

Hopefully someone can make Reilly understand what he was risking here. A potential NFL career aside, he could have significantly damaged the lives of many here. Glad nobody was hurt, now learn from it.

I'm sure sober Brandon Reilly fully understands this. You can't use normal reasoning on drunk people. Drunk people are inherently stupid. That's why there's still drunk drivers in 2016 and there will be drunk drivers in 2026. It's not a good reason, but it's the reason.
 
Hopefully Reilly learns from this lapse in judgment. On a somewhat unrelated note, Miami (FL) just dismissed their kickoff specialist shortly after he got arrested and charged with DUI. Richt definitely sending a message. Now, the story didn't mention if the young man in question had previous run ins.

I don't expect Reilly to get the boot, but a game or two suspension is probably in the cards.

The problem i have with this is that LPD and State Patrol had been tweeting all week and their were journal star articles about increased patrolling and checkpoints on st patricks day. I've made poor choices in regards to driving in the past, but if i was ever aware of additional focus on drunk diving on a certain day you can bet your a$$ I'm not driving even if i thought i was ok. And breathalyzers are so crooked. I had a very expensive one and after chugging one beer and blowing it would show an insanely high number. But after taking multiple shots and beers followed by water, mouthwash and gum it was showing under the legal limit.

 
I would make him do community service/speaking with schools and children about the repercussions of alcohol and especially drinking and driving. We all make mistakes. Let's hope he can learn from this and move forward with his academic and athletic careers.

 
Anyone who was ready to burn down the state of Utah because of how BYU and Mendenhall fails to suspended kids, and believe Reilly shouldn't be suspended need to ease off the Koolaid and red tinted glasses

 
.15 is pretty darn reckless. If it was .07/.08ish and he just made a bad decision, i might go a little easier on him. I would suspend him for 3 games. Effectively you'd be benching him and he'd really have to work his way back.

The breathalyzer you used is call a Preliminary Breath Test machine or "PBT" for short. PBT's are nowhere near 100% accurate and law enforcement use them as probable cause to further their investigation. PBT's show the presence of breathe alcohol and attempt to measure the level of that. If you get arrested and then get taken back to the local PD or Sheriff's Office then you will most likely be asked to blow into an intoxalyzer machine, which actually uses the deep lung air to measure your blood alcohol level which is where the .08 or greater equals DUI comes into play.

Correct and you are not supposed to have drank anything or had anything in your mouth for at least 15 minutes before you take a PBT.

Question--does Nebraska allow for you to refuse the breathalyzer and submit to a (considerably more accurate, per my understanding) blood test?

If Nebraska is like Kansas you can refuse a PBT but it is a traffic citation and you can refuse a intoxalyzer as well but it can be used against you in court in any other DUI cases from then on

Yes, you can refuse the breath test and demand a blood test. This also gives your body more time to maybe lose some of the blood alcohol. Sometimes it may take an hour for them to find someone to draw your blood. By that time, you may have dropped a little.
