holding statutory conditions required for implied consent included that section’s definition of “peace officer”
holding any failure to comply with the statutory qualifications and method of appointment for a peace officer Aat undermined Ae purpose of Ae statute prevented Ae official from claiming de facto status
observing that the mere statement by the second officer of the words, “I hereby rearrest you,” is a meaningless gesture in the absence of the second officer’s independent assessment of the defendant’s intoxication
concluding a person “was not a qualified peace officer for purposes of the implied consent statute” and declining to apply imputed knowledge doctrine to a person not qualified as a peace officer
noting our courts have overlooked procedural shortcomings that were “merely technical in the sense [that] noncompliance did not jeopardize any of the purposes underlying the implied consent procedures”
“Our conclusion in no way undermines the validity of our prior cases applying the rule of shared knowledge in other situations.”
