The officer arrested the “defendant” because he (officer) thought the def. might have been on pot. Poorly trained officer, and probably whole force.
There is a special course that officers can take that allows them to spot someone who is on drugs-and it’s much more comprehensive than just blood-shot eyes and not being able to walk straight. Heck, I have a balance problem, I couldn’t pass the physical part of a sobriety test.
This jurisdiction needs to train their officers better. And they really need to not arrest someone who blows 0s!
I wonder if they tested his blood sugar.
Like Larry Sinclair?..................
They aren't concerned with public safety. Not with the drunk police, DAs, and judges who sometimes get exposed, yet work on these cases.
It's about whether they can make a case (and win a cash award) in court (or pressure you into a plea deal).
Blowing below 0.08 does not clear you from prosecution, blowing over 0.08 just makes it easier to get a conviction.
Yes, they do prosecute all the way down to 0.00.
And they really need to not arrest someone who blows 0s!...I don’t know, if he’s blowing 0, he should be hung.
