It was never about safety, just revenue generation

I don’t mind a night in jail that allows me to sue the arresting org and collect.
And on top of that, during that time when I was trying to get compensated for the money that came out of my pocket, I got pulled over by the same department for having an interior dome light in my car on at night. I got maced straight in the face but then allowed to pull off and drive away half blind, with no ticket

They all got in huge trouble for that so they can’t do that anymore. Ya think that will stop them? Hell no!
The cops are not your friends! Do not talk to them, and never do any field sobriety tests. It’s so unconstitutional that you don’t have the right to refuse them without being automatically guilty of DUI. That’s not due process. frickin bullshite!

This is absolutely messed up. I've heard about cops doing this where they just arrest everyone and hope the blood test comes back with something. When the breathalyzer is 0.00 they just say 'must be on drugs' and push for DUI anyway. That's exactly what happened to me a couple years ago. I blew 0.00 on the breathalyzer and the cop still arrested me saying I was 'obviously impaired' and had to be on drugs.
My case went through the system for months before the blood test finally came back clean with nothing at all. I was lucky I had a good lawyer who knew how to fight this. Indiana criminal defense lawyer Wruble Law helped me out when I was dealing with similar stuff where cops were arresting people with 0.00 breath tests. They know how to work with toxicology reports and prove the police were wrong.
This Georgia situation is way bigger than I thought though. 701 people in one year with clean blood tests? That's systemic corruption at this point. Cops need to stop just arresting everyone and hoping something shows up in the test.

Its 701 out of almost 7000, so a little less than 10%. That's too high of a number. But there are going to be misses if we are going to enforce DUI laws. With weed basically legalized and other drug usage, how do you identify those using? If you suspect (there are indicators), how do you test them?
We need better, faster testing that is more accurate. I guess blood draws are the most effective at this point. So I think the system worked in these cases, with the cases dropped. What more should these people get?

I don’t take it anymore but that used to worry me when I took after all every morning. Could I get a DWI for just driving to work after taking a prescribed med? Apparently so.
That’s also my biggest concern with THC gummies. If I take one on Friday, it’ll still show up in a blood test on Monday. Would I be prosecuted?

That account is suspect as frick. Multiple bumps of months-old posts with subtle references to various businesses. Every post reads like AI.

There is no reason why they have to arrest the person right there. They can take down the information and continue investigating it and then get a warrant once they have evidence.
???
In a traffic stop with suspicion of impairment?
Take down what info? Warrant for what? Arresting right then is the only play if the officer suspects impairment. He can’t let an impaired driver drive off.

all forms of prescription and illegal drugs.
There’s a long list of commonly prescribed drugs that get flagged in those blood tests. Adderall, Ambien, Trazadone, Zoloft are just a few examples. Go randomly test 100 people on the streets and you will find a significant number legally prescribed at least one medication on that list. They also get lumped into that 90% positive category. It doesn’t mean they were impaired.
Aren't 40% of women on antidepressants? The idea that they are impaired...
Nevermind

The State has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they were above the legal limit at the time of the incident.
If the level is high enough at the time of the test, they can show it is statistically improbable that it wasn't over the limit at the time of the accident, which is more than enough to cover reasonable doubt.

yep, and I don't get how that stands up, the explanation is that "it's a contract you signed with the state when you got your drivers license," it's like you're being punished for not willingly assisting to incriminate yourself
You all are properly asserting all this bullshite to your elected legislators and not the cops, right?

Nothing wrong with the prosecution arguing that. Person was drinking, someone was killed while they were driving and the bac lowered during the time it took to take the test.
We’d need to know the figures, actual time and clearance rate
This kind of prosecution is not that rare, especially when there has been a fatal accident. They are difficult for the prosecution to prove because you have to have an expert on the clearance rate issue.

Had this exact scenario happen to me. Cops were complete mouth breathing inbred dicks.
Blew 0.0
Said they were arresting me anyway.
Requested a blood test.
They took me to jail.
Spent 3 nights before I could bond out with a credit card using a bail bonds.
Lost my job for not showing up to work.
Got a letter in the mail a couple days later saying blood test came back clean and all charges were dropped
