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.

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