Yeah, its true. In fact the place I work now has a "No Descretion DUI Policy". It states that if you come in contact with a person who is DUI, you MUST arrest- no exceptions. It is mandatory arrest, no matter who they are. The policy also states the arrestee is not allowed to speak to ANYONE associated with the police department or city government until after the are in the jail. Why? This policy prevents exceptions for cops, friends or local politicians. It prevents bias- so cops can't lock up Joe Blow but give his buddy a ride home. Violation of this policy is immediate termination. Its a fair policy IMO. A drunk cop will kill someone just like a drunk plumber, so they both go to jail. In fact, a local city councilman was arrested for DUI- all while threatening the cops job for doing so. The cop did his job, unbiased.
