But even if he hadn’t been, when he took his lawyer’s advice and refused the BAT, forcing them to go to a judge to get permission, that was a refusal that under FAA and company rules was the equivalent of an admission of guilt.
At that point his career became a roadkill. And suing a couple of cops who were merely doing their jobs won’t get his career back or any serious money from the cops.
Ahhh...the original article posted had conveniently left out that minor detail that he initially refused the blood test. Yeah this guy is hosed.
