As noted in another post, I backed away from routinely as its popular definition suggests more often than not, and backed it down to common, meaning frequent enough not to be unusual.

I used to spend a lot of time in court, and still routinely visit my sister to watch her in action as a PD. Allowing that most DUIs plea-out in advance of trial, leaving the marginal ones being contested, it is pure agony watching the performance of cops on the stand. DUI reports are often nothing more than a cut-and-paste from one to another. Testimony is by rote recitation - no doubt the product of "training" in mock courtrooms.

But this a thread for another day. Anyone who wants to see how common this is can simply google "falsified dui."

Perhaps you can blame Google in your next post.
