I'm not familiar with DUI Blog at all but here's the story they have-
Police have found a time saving solution to complicated reports; they've created a template which just needs to be modified with names and dates. Essentially, a one size fits all DUI report. As DUI Blog mentions, these reports are then used in courts of law as evidence to convict people- sometimes long after the incident and apparently the fact that the template doesn't match the actual events of the DUI arrest doesn't seem to enter into it.
Basically, the report tells the officer what he should have seen — not what he actually saw. And as any honest cop will tell you, drunk driving cases rarely follow such a neat, pre-described script. But it is convenient. And avoids messy complications – like the actual facts.
