I hope this is the beginning of a new Sovereign Citizen style movement that uses hyper-literal misinterpretations of the law as a defense.

I feel like the law is not drunk driving but something more like "operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol level above something something..."

Yeah, it's usually Driving Under the Influence (DUI) or Driving While Intoxicated (DWI), not, "Drinking and Driving." But its not like facts have any influence over the Sovereign Citizen movement, so I don't see why we should start here.

This won't be a socereign citizen movement. It will be a literally legal learning lawyering.
