"I don't want to be caught by the police whilst I'm under the influence of alcohol", I would most likely mean it's best NOT to drink and drive and so avoid being caught by the police in that condition!

Give the guy a break. I've met Johnjo and I think he would agree we learnt our English grammar at different schools of life, isn't that right Johnjo :D Absolutely NO offence meant by saying that to this nice guy, whatsoever!
I thought it was nice of him to warn people they may be caught if they try to flout the drinking laws and should be aware that the police are on the look out.
