What do you do when the driver cracks his window, provides his license, registration and insurance as may be required by law, and then refuses to speak to you?
Just what TBO said; we allow people to stay in their car during a traffic stop for both of our convenience. It's perfectly legal to order folks out of their car. I don't really need them to talk or say much of anything. Dealt with this before, it really doesn't matter.

As I hope my post explains, the properly trained officer has a very specific number of indicators to assist in judging impairment, I believe the tests as a whole have over a 90% accuracy rating.
The inverse is a 10% failure rate.

When you are talking about someones freedom, that is pretty high.

If you were fired from your job with a 10% that you didnt do what they said, would you think that is just?

The burden of probable cause is just that: facts and articulable facts and circumstances that lead a reasonable person to believe a crime has been committed and a certain person has committed that crime.

Soon as they come out with a better test that has scientific backing, I'll happily switch to it.

You're very welcome; DUI arrests are one of the most labor intensive arrests involving a misdemeanor officers make, but for good reason. The invasiveness of the blood draw, the legal fees and the potential effect conviction will have on the accused makes me try to do everything I possibly can to ensure the correct arrest decision.
I am glad to hear you do understand what a mistake on your part can mean to someone.

What I usually do.

Have you exit the vehicle and "sit in the rear of my marked patrol vehicle after being patted down for weapons".

Due to a virus hitting me over 30 yrs. ago my balance is totally shot. I have never drank in my life but I couldn't pass a single field sobriety test, not a one. If the officer were determined to get a DUI arrest I would suggest to him in my case lets get to the rat killing where is the breathalyzer or lets do the blood test, on your dime, you are wasting my time and yours sir.
You reminded me of something else....
as I would be stumbling around like cow on a crutch ( my grandpa said this a lot ) the cop would be SHOUTING orders at me that I may ignore, because years ago I lost the hearing in my left ear.

And as he tazes me into a ball of twisting pain-filled slobbering and defecating submission, trying my best to eak out the backwards alphabet, he can be sure I will NEVER drive again.

If anyone records it ?

INTERNET GOLD, BABY !

Balance has nothing to do with 5 of the 8 tests I listed.
My form of bad vertigo has been described as looking NO different than a heavy drinking binge when it kicks in.

That's a good way to increase business for the lawyer.

And makes the question authority types all warm and fuzzy via fantasy.

Another point to DUI. If I am going to drink, I plan. I either do it at home or if I go out, I plan a method beforehand on safe transportation. Its not that hard to be a little responsible before one starts drinking to make arrangements.

Anybody else not think she was that "hot"?

She looks beat. And irritating at best. I'm sure the majority of her interpersonal relationships don't last much longer than post-late-breakfast. On the off chance some unlucky lad knocks her up, I truly feel bad for him.

Something bugs me about certain DWI situations. First off, a drunk has diminished capacity to apply good judgment. Getting into the car and beginning to drive, the drunk realizes s/he needs to stop driving. S/He pulls over, stops driving and goes to sleep....exactly what s/he should do...and gets arrested. Seems like a person who is trying to do the right thing should not be punished for it.

The problem is she did drive drunk.

What distance should they be allowed to drive drunk before they decide to sleep it off?

During all the time they were drinking did they have time to say, "Hey, maybe I should stop drinking since I drove here?"
 
#227 ·
Although she was not the sharpest crayon in the box.....at least she had the sense to try and sleep it off in her car. I don't like how the law is structured that someone can be charged with dui while not driving and trying to be safe....I understand that an argument is that they "can" drive and be a danger but I have heard the same type of arguments from anti-gun idiots.

You are lucky in some ways. Blood is always higher than breath
Well, that explains why the lawyer requested a $500.00 retainer fee and suggested I would most likely lose the case. It also explains why the blonde trooper thought I was an idiot. The judge asked me why I didn't hire a lawyer to represent me? I replied; lawyers are useless. I sought legal representation, the lawyer wanted a $500.00 retainer and suggested I would likely lose the case. If this is true, I would rather pay the $500.00 DUI fine than waste an additional $500.00 on a lawyer to speak on my behalf.

The judge looked at the DA, burst out laughing and said; well, you have a point, and seem to be taking a logical approach.

In all fairness, the judge did compute the number of beers consumed, amount of time spent drinking, weight, and time blood was drawn. He shared his finding with the DA, tilted his head, looked over the top of his glasses, raised an eyebrow and said; If he's being truthful, he should fall into this range, we'll have to wait for the test results.

To this day, I do not know what the calculation is, as I do not spend my time drinking and then driving. I typically mix two rum and cokes and consume them while smoking a 2.0 hour cigar at home.

In the final days of the case, there were two of us remaining in the court room. We moved to the front row and sat in front of the judge's bench. The judge called out a name (George), the guy turned to me, gave me a dollar and approached the bench. The judge looked on, appearing confused, and asked if he missed something. I informed him we had a bet on who would be called last, George lost the bet. The judge laughed and shook his head in disbelief. I actually think he enjoyed the entertainment. He turned out to be a fair judge and offered advice to avoid legal proceedings in the future. I did accept and willingly apply the advice as promised.

$500 thats cheap really. that sounds like and interesting court room. I dont know why the judge would be making comments about the evidence like that, thats strange. A judge should not know anything about the case until a case is in front of them in trial not to mention the judge likely has no qualifications to make such a conclusion.

In NY State (most states) the police can get a search warrant BY Telephone to draw Blood, (they just added to the Law "refusing a urine test" local ER Room, if its necessary they can hook U up and have it drawn by physician or RN, if U resist the test Contempt of court will B #1 on the hit parade, u can challenge all that it court - the Legal Meter will be a-running like a humming birds azz all the time, its easier though if your dad or moma is a legal beagle.
