SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 17 – Cordell Hines was
driving on the West Side
Highway at 1 am on March 3,
2017, on his way home to
Connecticut from dinner at
Balthazar when he was stopped
by police.
He told them he
had only one glass of
champagne. He asked the
officers if they had a quota.
They arrested
him.
On
November 17, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge P.
Kevin Castel held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
An issue that
arose is whether the
governmental defendants
statement that driving in New
York implies consent to
breathalyzer means even a
pretextual one. It seems it
may not in this case.
The case is Hines
v. City of New York et al.,
18-cv-4880 (Castel)
