Drunk driver ADMITS to crashing his car into an apartment building. Police can't arrest him because there were no witnesses...Wait...What???

Now that's some justice system they have up there in Seattle!  Tell the cops your drunk and just crashed your car into an aprtment building?  As long as there ain't no witnesses, no prob!  Go home.  Sleep it off!  I wonder how high up on the crime scale that rule goes? Tell the cops you just knocked over a convenience store so you could have some beer money for the weekend?  What?  No witnesses?  Just move along folks.  Nothing to see here.  Not sure I would confess to a murder or kidnapping though.  They might have a mandatory 24 hour hold before they had to let you go...

Note: there's some awesome drunk video confession on the link...
