They were both shall arrests prior to, I believe, the special session in 1991. That's when they pulled vehicular DUI out of 189 and made it its own body of law in 189A. I suspect they did it at the request of law enforcement, who didn't want to spend days sitting on prisoner in the hospital and wanted the option of citing them, instead. They simply didn't change the "non-motor DUI" statute as well. It's like DV, a preferred arrest, now, mostly.

But even shall arrest doesn't really mean that, according to the Supreme Court.

Who's going to lead the multi-agency DUI-On-A-Bike Task Force? There's bound to be some federal grant money available somewhere. Will they offer pastries and gourmet coffee at the weekly meetings?
