You would think a cop with 11 years experience would recognize doughnut remnants.
You would figure the police would know the difference between a doughnut and a narcotic...
I’m sure he also said his 11 years of experience told him he was speeding. It’s a great way to get around using a radar gun
What kind of legal liability inheres to a test like that with such a spectacularly untrue result? The city should hardly be the only entity sued.
Doughnuts have that effect upon some. Many are reputed to be law enforcement officers.
Cue Battlefield Hardline “cop” dialogue: “Delicious Doughnuts spotted!”
“I recognized through my 11 years of training and experience as a law enforcement officer the substance to be some sort of narcotic,”
11 years of training and can’t tell frosting from drugs? Nobody ever sold me a bag of frosting. /s
Don’t these idiots know that you use a fried chicken joint as a front for distributing meth?
Pulled over because he thought they just left the store with the very last crispy meth remains? “I’ll have to confiscate that bag you got there son.”
I would file so many lawsuits it would make their heads spin.
False arrest and imprisonment, for starters.
I’ve heard some people say Florida is a police state. Now I’m starting to wonder if it’s true.
Gross incompetence.
Are Krispy Kreme doughnuts still legal?
Did he get his gun back?
from the article ... “The driver let her search the car, and she found more chunks, which two roadside tests showed were crystal methamphetamine. “
*****************
He has hired a lawyer and I hope he sues the dogsh*t out of the test manufacturer or if the cop was simply lying and sugar does not test as meth the cop and everyone in her chain of command... his life is ruined ,, arrested , jailed and so on ... every job application will be automatically rejected... he will have trouble with visas and traveling... the embarrassment ... sue them sue them sue them...
I was standing on the sidewalk on THE USC campus talking with a USC police officer one day. Several Columbia PD cars went by with light and sirens going.
The USC officer said to me, “I wonder what the city has going on?”
I replied, “The Hot Doughnuts Now sign just came on at Krispy Kreme.” The USC officer was not amused.
I think smoking Meth is more healthy for you than eating Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
The officer saw his concealed weapon license, asked to hold onto his gun for safety and had the driver get out of the car. That’s when the veteran officer saw four flakes of a white substance on the floor.I wonder how many other people have been falsely arrested based upon that roadside "test" they use."I recognized through my 11 years of training and experience as a law enforcement officer the substance to be some sort of narcotic," the officer wrote in her report.
The driver let her search the car, and she found more chunks, which two roadside tests showed were crystal methamphetamine.
Daniel Rushing was arrested, charged with possession with a weapon, strip-searched and jailed in December.
The 64-year-old Orlando man told officers he’d never done drugs in his life, and the crumbs were from his Krispy Kreme doughnut.
Weeks later, a state crime lab proved him right.
“I kept telling them, 'That's … glaze from a doughnut. … They tried to say it was crack cocaine at first, then they said, 'No, it's meth, crystal meth," Rushing told the Sentinel.
Is it 11 years of training and experience or one year of training and experience 11 times and she still hasn't passed the training part, yet?
Scary...don't run stop signs and don't speed.
And never eat doughnuts in the car!
Did he have a TRUMP/PENCE or MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN bumper sticker on his back bumper?
“I recognized through my 11 years of training and experience as a law enforcement officer the substance to be some sort of narcotic,”
Wow, chemists should put in some time on the force, it would really free up a lot of resources because they wouldn’t need to run spectrographic analyses anymore, they could just eyeball something and know its chemical composition!
