well good.....now we’ll see how much havoc weed causes.....
Probably a lot less than the lawmakers mischief. The cure will be worse than the illness.
And what’s the level to be considered too impaired to drive?
“I only had one joint...the size of a Churchill cigar”
Houston we have a problem:
All Field Sobriety Tests are VOLUNTARY, NOBODY is ever required to take one. Nor is anybody required to blow in a hand held device in the field, it also is VOLUNTARY.
Only Drug and Alcohol testing taken in a controlled environment(at the station, with a licensed,calibrated machine or Blood Test taken by a Licensed Physician or Practitioner AFTER ARREST are admissible.
AH!.. Police arrest someone for pot altering behavior...
THEN: the judges let them go...
The Keystone Cops was serious BUSINESS...
American justice is just an unserious game..
Being in a gang is LEGAL... and in some places advantageous..
Lots of gangs.. FOR...................
Democracy you see (( IS )) Mob Rule by Mobsters..
Being a democrat SHOULD be illegal.. for a hundred reasons..
NO... democracy has ever yet been democratic..
AND WILL NEVER BE... an elite ALWAYS rules..
Democracy is scam of the first order.. a lie.. i.e. Unicorns..
If weed was causing true havoc, we wouldn't need a breath tester to see it.
“I only had one joint...the size of a Churchill cigar”
It's set by the state, and measured in blood concentration of THC not number of joints.
I saw that in the article, My point is Most people think they are Required to take these tests, and the Police will ALWAYS LIE and tell you it is required and if you refuse that they will arrest you, ALWAYS refuse, for it absolutely removes “reasonable suspicion” if arrested. They have NO Probable Cause with no evidence, your field sobriety test is the EVIDENCE they desperately need to make an arrest. Otherwise just about any lawyer will have the case dismissed for False Arrest and all evidence gathered after said false arrest is NO GOOD.
The fact that they smell like a burning rope factory has always been a dead giveaway to me. That and cheetos and inappropriate giggling.

“ALWAYS refuse, for it absolutely removes “reasonable suspicion” if arrested. They have NO Probable Cause with no evidence, your field sobriety test is the EVIDENCE they desperately need to make an arrest.”
That would be fine and dandy if you did not automatically lose your drivers license for a whole year if you do refuse.
An objective test is more help in pursuing a DUI conviction.
That and cheetos
The orange powder makes it harder to grip the steering wheel.
Yea, and while we are at it, let’s reinstate Prohibition, for the good of the people, because it worked so well the first time.
The cure has become worse than the disease. End the WOD now.
This is about “Field Sobriety” Tests, they absolutely are VOLUNTARY in EVERY STATE. Once Arrested if you refuse at the Station or Hospital, that is the only time they can use that against you and take your license, not Field Sobriety Tests
“Nor is anybody required to blow in a hand held device in the field, it also is VOLUNTARY.”
Yup, totally voluntary. You are free to refuse and have your drivers license revoked for a year, and be hauled to a hospital to have blood drawn at your expense.
But you’re right, it’s your choice. That is the law in MI.
That works even better with five guys in a VW beetle. (I imagine) The slide back roof is handy too.
