Drunk Driver avoid charges because he was too drunk

An Oslo man has had his drunken driving case thrown out of court because overeager police didn't wait until he sobered up to question him.

Brilliant. The cops got a confession out of him that, yes indeed, he was completely shit-faced in control of a vehicle (he registered a 2.59, incredibly enough 2.0 is when most people show signs of alcohol poisoning). However, this was the only evidence presented in court, and the fact that he was so pissed made his confession unreliable, so the judge threw the case out. Ahaha. Too drunk to reliably confess to being too drunk? Sounds like something out of Catch 22.
