Police scene photos

If the scene photos taken by the police contain any of these items, yes, you are most likely at fault for something:

Bong
Unopened bottle of MD 20/20
Opened, half-empty (good luck being an optimist in this scenario) bottle of MD 20/20
Flask
Bag of weed 
CO2 cartridges - several hundred
Beer cans - empty or full 
Opened, half-empty bottle of Old Grand Dad (and the excuse that the bottle was from some OTHER evening when you drove drunk doesn't help you much)

And for the record, if you have any or all of those items in your vehicle, you're sitting at a red light minding your own business, and some jackass comes up and rear ends you, then no, it isn't your fault. But you'll be busted for possession (and whatever else applies) anyway.

Police Reports

Yes, it is your fault if the police report says any of the following:

"When asked if she took any medications before driving, she responded 'I'm a walking medicine cabinet.'"

"The witness reported that the driver and passengers in V1 were overheard trying to find someone sober to say they were driving V1."

"On arrival, I was flagged down by witness Jones, who pointed out a man in a 4-door black vehicle. I made contact with the person in the driver seat of P-1 and noticed he was slumped over the center console. I attempted to verbally wake him, but he was unresponsive. I opened the door and noticed the strong smell of an alcoholic beverage coming from inside the car. I helped Smith out of the car and noticed that he had vomited on the center console and on himself. As Smith  got out of the vehicle, I noticed he had trouble staying up on his feet and needed assistance when standing. I also noticed that Smith's eyes were blood shot and watery, and he was unable to understand questions. 

I told Smith that I wanted him to perform FSTs (Field Sobriety Tests) and he responded 'I'm too drunk, bro.' I helped Smith to the patrol vehicle and witness Jones positively identified Smith as the driver of the car which he witnessed flee the accident scene."
