Hmmm, if he's that out of control maybe he needs to be under a conservatorship.

jk, but for real, I have zero sympathy for this man. None. He couldn't just hire a driver for the evening? He absolutely had to drive his own car? No. Fuck that noise. I can't believe they're really gonna try this "Poor Justin, he's in a dark place" bullshit. Okay, and that gives you a free pass to drive under the influence? He's lucky he didn't kill anyone.

I’m annoyed he mentioned this would affect the tour during his arrest. It could’ve killed someone… who cares about your tour?!

[erin805]

Seriously he has enough money to arrange a car service or hell pay someone to make sure he didn’t drink & drive

[bitchbot]

the fact that he could text an assistant or security to get him, he could get anything delivered to him in 10 minutes yet he wants to feel ~free and swerve around drunk and high.

Bye bye bye (bye bye).

I’m not sure what his lawyer can defend? Is he going to say the officers are lying?

[frenchmoodle]

“If the cop had any knowledge of 90s pop culture, Justin would’ve been let free. The officer is too incompetent to be working in the Hamptons.”

This is the point of refusing the breathalyser - it's the objective evidence and there's not a lot of room to try to contest it. Everything else (the officers' recollection of how you were, their take on whether you were over the limit) is subjective and an attorney can at least try to pick holes in it. (Edit: they don't have to accuse the officers of outright lying, just of being mistaken/jumping to a conclusion)

Of course the more of those observations stack up, and the more exaggerated the behaviour, or the officers have camera footage that backs their take, the less likely you're convincing anyone. But it's pretty much your one play to try beating the charge unless the officers committed some procedural faux pas that'd get it tossed out

[likeiused2]

he'll likely plead no contest (but whine about it via "sources") and pay a small fine

[therearewords]

Very good shape.

Remember when he was caught getting way to close to Alisha Wainwright and blamed alcohol? I remember:

Also leave Britney's name out of it assholes!

[devopet]

Yes! I was coming here to say the same thing, he looked waaaasted in those photos so please don't blame Britney and the badd press.
