I am not a lawyer but this worked out super well for me.
I was hit by this 65 year old drunk lady (who also happened to be on Methodone at the time...). The cops knew her husband who was a firefighter, and so they didnt breathalize or do any tests, and didnt charge her with DUI. My EMTs had said "that lady is so drunk, shes going to buy you a ticket to Disney world," which is how I knew that she was drunk at the time of the accident, but I had no proof to bring to the table in the lawsuit because if the cops didnt charge or make notes then you cannot add it later.
So we get to MY deposition and she shows up. She argues with me the entire time over my points and her lawyer keeps having to tell her that she needs to be quiet. (mind you, this lady had ruined my friends and my lives. So I was becoming less than patient with her calling me a liar when she got off scot free.) She exclaims to my lawyer "Even the police report is wrong!"
"What do you mean its wrong?"
"It has me coming from the wrong place!"
"Where were you coming from?"
"My friends Bar!"
"...Really...Did you have any drinks at this bar?"
"Well yeah..."
"How many?"
"I dont know, they dont charge me they just keep refilling my class..."
Cue her lawyers face palm as this is all on tape.
**TLDR**: Lady exclaims that she was drinking and driving when she could have gotten off scot free.
