That's what I'm saying, they really don't down here, especially in states like MN. Very few cops here are going to risk their career or getting sued civilly to give someone a break. They took the discretion on this and other things (domestic abuse) away from officers in the US. As per usual, some good reasons and some not for/against it.
Also, IIRC there certainly isn't any thing like a 12 hour temporary license suspension etc. They get arrested for DUI (or whatever each jurisdiction calls it) or they don't depending on tests/situation.
