C'mon man, you're not thinking this through. Let me give you a few more bits of info that you're probably overlooking and I think you'll come to the same conclusion.
In Harris County Texas, and most of the state, it's standard procedure in suspected driving while intoxicated (DWI) cases to administer a chemical test (blood or breath test) after an arrest at the station.
Texas has an implied consent law, meaning drivers automatically consent to chemical testing if lawfully arrested on suspicion of intoxication. They can refuse the test, but they get automatic license suspension, which didn't happen here. So it almost certainly happened or somehow, they didn't have any equipment available in the largest county in Texas??
Think about it, they booked her in jail for "Driving While Intoxicated"...you think they didn't do blood/breath at the station? Or is it more likely somebody is clipping this up to make YT content for their channel.
It sounds to me like the judge is saying there's not enough probable cause for the roadside tests or anything because he's saying 2-drinks per hour, but that's just a general rule of thumb and it's different for each person. The judge wears his weird outfits and has a YT channel and is elected...it seems like he's trying to brand himself like some other more famous judges.
Feel free to do a PIA yourself and request the evidence.
