The irony however lies elsewhere.
According to Bubblehead, if the cops would have stopped the driver before the accident it would have been "government extortion"  - also refusing to do a sobriety test is an advice he gave in the very same thread I quote:

Taking my views on the extortion that most DUI charges are, out of context.I was saying the .08 limit is extremely low and people who get charged DUI when not intoxicated but some science that is questionable says they are impaired, are extorted out of thousands and thousands of dollars, between the courts and "DUI industry" that includes MADD, counseling, AA etc well its wrong.The illegal immigrant driver who hit me, not sure what his BAC was, last heard he was refusing all tests but was easy to see he was very intoxicated.Had this fool been pulled over and arrested, would not call it extortion but the cops doing their job since he was actually intoxicated and operating a motor vehicle, which lead to a collision.Luckily, it was a relatively minor accident.
