But she also blatantly admits that she told the officer she drank earlier in the night and failed the field sobriety test miserably while laughing uncontrollably throughout the police interview. What were they supposed to do with someone who admitted drinking earlier, can't pass a field sobriety test and acts strange?
Well, the whole 0.00 on the breathalyzer should negate any admission of drinking earlier, because she obviously wasn't drunk
If you think she was on some type of drugs, that's a whole different story, but has nothing to do with the admission that she drank alcohol earlier in the night.

I agree that it merits further testing, but once the breathalyzer shows no alcohol, why would they continue to hold you?

As the officer monitored with a timer I put my head up and begin to count to myself... 1001, 1002, 1003, and when I got to 1010, a wave of panic came over me and the thought of 'is that really how you count by seconds or am I remembering right? I don't think you say 1001, 1002, oh, no! and the time it took to just think this thought, maybe it's already 30 seconds!' Immediately I drop my head and said "stop" at which both officers begin laughing. It seemed they had that "I got ya!" moment. Me and my remedial math; they said it had only been 10 seconds. Now they were certain I was under the influence of something. So they cuffed my hands behind my back and put me into the patrol car and begin to thoroughly search on my car.

I wasn't intoxicated, but I was judged to be under the influence the moment I stepped out of my vehicle
Leaving a football game in The Dome, my dad accidentally exited a parking garage the wrong way onto a one-way street. As he tried to turn around a cop pulled in front of him and hit his lights.
The first thing he said to my dad was "Sir, I know you've been drinking tonight so go ahead and step out the car." My dad had one beer an hour or so before the 3-4 hour football game. He was sober, yet the officer had already made a very large leap in assumption in the way he addressed my dad.
The best part about the whole thing, after passing the field sobriety test with flying colors, was that he pointed out to the officer that the sign in the parking garage was unclear about the direction to exit.
A week later he tried to address the ticket he got for driving the wrong way but it wasn't even in the system. He eventually got a pay now or show up in court notice. My dad just paid it because it wasn't worth his time to drive to NOLA and fight the thing.

This has been my argument against dui. The cop only has to say you swerved or he smells it and you are in jail. In dui cases, you are guilty until proven innocent.
Which is why you dont blow. Dont ever blow. Nothing good comes from it. They wont let you go. They wont say "my bad". It will only frick you. So just understand that if you get pulled over late at night and a cop asks you if you have been drinking, you are spending the night in jail. Doesnt matter if you can say the alphabet backwards or recite the entire play "Pirates of Penzance". Doesnt matter. Accept it. But, you can refuse any and all tests and not have a DUI on your record and save a shite ton of money. Tough pill to swallow but you gotta do it.

And also be prepared for a breathalyzer in your car for DMV.
Refusal to blow is automatic 6 month installation unless you can win the panel hearing. But be prepared to pay at least a grand for a lawyer as they are the only ones who can request said hearing.

If you can't count past 10 without panicking, you probably shouldn't be driving. Drunk or not.

Is she flaunting her St. Tammany Parish White Privilege by posting this on Facebook?
Posted on 7/24/17 at 11:21 am to crap4brain
The new sheriff has gone overboard imho. He spent a shite ton of money on new uniforms, new paint jobs on the cars, and even new badges if I heard correctly. Then, after his money grab with the tax renewal failed, he raised it anyway (to the max alllowed under shady circumstances concerning weird tax "zones" iirc). I can look at the photo of that woman and my first thought is that she has Bells Palsy. To me, it is something that would have made me question typical roadside sobriety test results. I fear what the new sheriff has in store for the citizens of St. Tammany. It would seem as though the sheriff has a new revenue source. This guy is looking pretty sketch imo.

No recourse at all. It's officer's discretion. DUI laws are seriously fricked in this country.

This is a retarded, made up test. It's virtually impossible to keep accurate time in your head. Go ahead and give it a try. You won't come close to 30 seconds.

I won mine in Alabama. The slightest mistake on paperwork or an overworked clerk who does not process your paperwork on time gets it chucked out.
Seriously, never blow. It's not worth it. Your lawyer can perform miracles if you don't blow. If you do, he's (excuse the pun) handcuffed.

In Louisiana, if I'm not mistaken, refusal to submit to a breathalyzer results in double the amount of time your license are suspended.
I have had a sitting sheriff who's also a family friend, tell me to never, ever refuse a breath test. Not sure if he was acting as a friend or as a sheriff when he told me that though.

Have had a sitting DUI judge who's also a family member say you never do what the police ask. No road tests, no breathelyzer. Just tell them you want to speak to a lawyer before doing anything else.

2. I may not do it at exactly 30 seconds, but I highly doubt I'd yell "STOP" at 10 seconds, so there's that.
