How to avoid a marijuana DUI

<< < (2/6) > >>

Uruk-High:
In some cases, you refuse, and they simply do a blood draw anyway. And you still get busted. Frickin' unbelievable!

Welcome to the new Amerika, Comrade!

Here is what the bullshit law says in FL...


Refusing to Take the Test
In Florida, you will lose your license for one year for your first refusal. For your second and any subsequent refusal, your license will be suspended for 18 months and you will face the additional consequences, such as time in jail, that come with committing a misdemeanor. 

In most situations, if you refuse to take a mandatory blood, breath, or urine test, you cannot be forced to do so. However, the state may administer the test if you are unconscious, even if you haven’t yet been arrested. Also, if you find yourself in a situation where an officer arrests you for a DUI but hasn’t given you a test, then Florida law says that you can ask for one. Once you ask, the officer has to give you a test.



Implied Consent
Florida law requires you to take a breath, blood, or urine test if you are arrested for a DUI. Florida’s “implied consent” law says that if you are lawfully arrested by an officer who has probable cause to believe that you have been driving under the influence, then you consent to taking a chemical test of your blood, breath or urine for the purpose of determining your blood alcohol content (BAC) or for drugs. Also, you may be asked to take more than one test. If the officer first chooses a breath test, then he or she has the option to make you take an additional test, which you cannot refuse without penalty.

You could be arrested for a DUI even if you are not driving. If you have actual, physical control of the vehicle while under the influence, then that can be enough for an officer to arrest you. Generally, actual, physical control means that the driver is in the car and can make it move. Even if the driver is asleep when the officer arrives on the scene, the potential that he or she could wake up and drive has been enough for a Florida court to decide that the driver had actual physical control.

Once you are arrested, the officer should tell you that if you refuse to take the test, your license will be suspended and that your refusal can be used against you in court. The officer should also tell you that if you have had your license suspended before for refusing a chemical test, then this subsequent refusal counts as a misdemeanor in addition to having your license suspended again

  Basically if you take blood pressure medication or even pain pills with opiates in them and popo finds out
that can become an instant dui too.
   I find I do best while driving a late model or new vehicle
and drive carefully to avoid swerving and other suspicious
looking behavior.

I hate to be the one to inform you of this, but your existance is almost at the
point where it is at the whim of the next popo that takes a dislike to you

The le roaming the streets today are a very dif breed of asshole. Anything they
wanna do to you is not only held up in court, but If the cop even gets time off
as a punishment, it will be a paid vacation for them. Cops are involved wrongful deaths
everyday & the amount who are actually fired can be counted on one hand. This means
that citizens have little to zero actual rights to do anything but Not piss off the cops.

Even if you manage to sue the police they won't pay a dime. You will be paid from
 tax money that is taken from the city, county or state. No policeman will give a shit-
no policeman will be punished. Take a short look around here if you doubt what I say

it's an article about how police beatings dropped by an unbelievable amount when cops
were Forced to wear video cameras during their shifts....Seems they get a bit shy when
they are recorded while beating the crap outta their charges
