Have you ever seen the drink drive form? Or had to fill one in when a drunk, aggressive, potentially violent and desparate person is in a small room with you? It's not the easiest thing in the world.
Plus there are all manner of other technicalities un-related to the form that people can use to get off charges.

What being unable to obtain consent from someone unconscious or him getting off on a technicality.
