NORWAY HAS JUDGES just as unjust as American ones, I hear via James Taranto's WSJ Best of the Web. As a Norwegian newspaper tells it:

An Oslo man has had his drunken driving case thrown out of court because overeager police didn't wait until he sobered up to question him. The court rejected the inebriated confession and let the 36-year-old go, newspaper VG reports.

...

Police questioned the Oslo man six hours after the test was taken, when he would still have had a blood alcohol level of about 1.7-1.8 per thousand, which is above the point where people begin to slur their speech.
