  • presence of alcohol in driver’s body, by itself, does not support inference that driver was impaired
  • in order to have probable cause for a DUI arrest, an officer must “have knowledge or reasonably trustworthy information that a suspect was actually in physical control of a moving vehicle, while under the influence of alcohol to a degree which renders him incapable of driving safely”
