Hey guys, last night there was a knock on the front door, there was two police officers standing there asking who was the driver of one of the cars in the driveway the car being my dads work Ute.
They then say the vehicle was involved in a hit and run about 30minutes to an hour ago, they then breath tested my dad he then blew over the limit, and they asked him to go down to the station.
The thing is after work everyday he smashes down about 200mls or more of either straight whiskey or home brewed rakija, which has a really high percentage of alcohol. He had his usual drink about 45minutes before the police arrived so within that time his level of alcohol had risen.
The next thing is, we looked at his ute and there are no indications of him hitting any other vehicle, no scratches, no paint marks or dints. He even took it down to the police station today and one of the officers there also said he couldn't see any damage.
Anyways, hes had his license taken off him for 12months and has been charged with hit and run.
The police officers also wouldn't allow me to go and interpret for my dad, because he doesn't speak English well, nor did they even try and get an interpreter for him.
Does anyone else think this isn't fair. And has anyone been in a similar position being breath tested at your own home after you had been driving.
Also how well do you think our case will go in court? Have to go and speak to our lawyer tomorrow about it.
This is in Victoria by the way.
Cheers
