3 1/2 minute video about the situation
What are these crooks up to now.... always something.
this should not be an issue if you were presumed innocent until proven guilty.
unfortunately that is not the case with DUI or if you have some cash the police want, or well just about everything else too.
Oh yeah, never take the field sobriety tests. Those things are basically unpassable. Especially if you add the stress of being pulled over and the distraction of passing traffic. Breathalyzer only.
so the police are drunk ?
what the heck is it with Tennessee? ... a whole steady stream of articles regarding various forms of LE corruption and abuse?
So over a 6 year period, out of 186,000 cases, 609 were arrested and determined to be drug/alcohol free from lab results and their cases dismissed. So a 99.6726% success rate?
Seems kind of phenomenal. Disclosure; I was wrongfully arrested for a DUI by a training officer who wanted to search my car. Case was dismissed when blood tests came back negative.
A buddy of mine - we went to college together - has ‘red eyes’ - he’s had them since the mid 80’s.
Oil was booming in the Reagan era, my buddy ‘Fred’ just graduated from MSU (Bozeman, MT) and had four job interviews in Houston or Dallas (sorry I cannot remember).
Fred flew to Texas on a Sunday looking forward to two interviews on Monday and two on Tuesday...alas Fred never made it to any of the interviews...
The hotel he was in caught on fire, Fred was on the 17th floor and did the wet towel under the door thing but he succumbed to the smoke. A firefighter found him, applied oxygen and did a few chest pumps and Fred came back to life.
That’s why Fred has red eyes, and after a few calls from insurance companies representing the hotel and the furniture manufacturer $1.25 million in settlement money. THEY Called him!
Fred has made many good investments over the years and lives a good, clean life and is thrifty. If you were to meet him you would think he is ‘stoned,’ but he is just lucky to be alive.
True story.
