Well, your brother-in-law's girlfriend got screwed. Big time. She should have fought it. If her BAC was under the legal limit then a good lawyer should have got her off or at least get it reduced. In his "estimation?" What estimation was that? It wasn't a breathalyzer test. How did he determine that she was under the influence? Where did he draw the line? Did the cop somehow makeup his own law right then and there? That's why there's a legal limit. So that the cops don't do stupid shit like this. I just don't see how a cop that is known for pulling stupid shit still gets to hold a badge.
We could go on and on about what defines "probable cause" since it isn't defined in the 4th amendment. Every case is different. Still, what happened to her was totally fucked up and she should have fought that bogus charge.
