I just watched the video.
If you would have cocaine on the outside of your car, wouldn't it blow off as soon as you start going down the road? Cocaine doesn't just stick and dry up.. Because its already dry.
And I never seen bird shite that looks like powder.

The test they use can "test positive" for over 80 different substances including acne medication, incense, cleaning supplies, and cotton candy. It's a POS test that shouldn't be used but b/c police departments care more about losing collars with false negatives than false positives we get these shitty tests that constantly stick people in jail for no good reason
Everyone who gets arrested for a false positive should sue the manufacturer for defamation of character at $5 million a pop. The manufacturers know the test is unreliable but keep selling it and there is demonstrable harm as a result.
They have to start setting up every victim fir life, they'll have to either fix the test or go out of business.

The field test kits are garbage, and the cops often use them wrong to boot.
Many have been busted for substance such as donut icing that field tested positive. They couldn’t afford to bail out so plead guilty even though innocent. Backlogged crime lab later reveals it was never drugs. The Houston paper had a big piece on this a few months ago.

This story confuses me, why isn’t this a bigger deal? What am I missing? Bc from what I can see it sounds like the cops were trying to frick him
If the cops were trying to screw him, wouldn’t they have sprinkled some coke or something in before it got tested.
Very poorly planned out if that’s what they’re trying to do.

The state of Georgia seems to be actively protecting the company from lawsuits.

Three months in jail for cotton candy doesn’t inspire confidence in the criminal justice system for anyone. At least these recommendations would begin to rebuild the public trust and integrity that false-positives have degraded. If the legitimacy of our system isn’t enough of a reason to prompt change, perhaps fear of paying out large money settlements to the wrongfully convicted would get cities to act on this issue.
In the three months Fincher spent in jail for possession of cotton candy she missed the birth of her grandchildren while waiting on exonerating lab results. Seeking damages, she sued the company, Sirchie, that made the $2 roadside test for the time and life events she can’t get back, arguing that the company negligently designed the product because they “knew or should have known” that the device could lead to false arrests.
To succeed in her claims, Fincher would have had to show that the harm of defective design could have been avoided if the company adopted a reasonable alternative design. Unfortunately, earlier this month a district court in Georgia dismissed her complaint mainly because she included “two purported alternatives” in her response to the company’s rebuttal but the court said she included them “simply too late.”
This is not the first time Georgia protected this company from liability. In a 2017 case, Kerron Brown and Justin Mallory sued Sirchie after each spending weeks in jail due to a false positive. This case was also dismissed because their “complaint contained no facts about reasonable alternative designs” of the drug testing kits.

Seems like if that’s the route they go I could just sue the state and all I’d have to prove is they use an unreliable test

Yea after reading it just sounds like they use a really shitty test which is a problem for a lot of reasons
Also, I’m not anti cop or anything but it wouldn’t be the first time they very stupidly tried to screw somebody
