The fact that you're stoned on prescription drugs instead of alcohol is not normally a defense on a DUI.

Especially when at least one of the drugs you're on (Ambien) specifically says not to operate a motor vehicle after taking it.

prescription drugs just a cover, so I don't think the man is even now, being honest. He was alcohol impaired, or why else ewould he lie about being in a bar drinking.

Do you really believe that he wasn't drinking?

The report cites "alcohol influence." Another officer on-scene said that swimmer, jr. had alcohol on his breath.

Pointing to the warning is missing the point. Only a moron would take a prescription sleeping pill before they drove.

He's saying he has a "disease." It's his addiction.

I wonder, if I'm stopped for DUI can I pull the same BS?

Naw....I'm a serf, not one of the Nobles in the US.

How in nether did we wind up with an aristocracy anyway?

I thought a DWI was for just that?... Driving While Impaired.
