It's because MADD dictated that police nationwide HAVE to arrest anyone suspected of drunk driving.
If an officer had some power to make a judgment call and just drive him home and tell him to sleep it off instead of having to arrest him and ruin his life for years, none of that would have ever happened.
Cops used to actually do that. They were less enemies of the people and more people that were trying to keep the peace. I'm not kidding!
-An American that remembers how it used to be in America.
But noo..MADD lobbied for "You must arrest".
