TN Enacts False DUI Reporting

Well. It only took like 700 false DUI arrests in one year. And, for anyone seeing that number and not thinking it's that big. 700 was the number of ABSOLUTELY ZERO OF ANYTHING in their systems and doesn't include another metric frick ton who were nowhere near drunk but weren't .000.

The TN state police are little more than an organized gang. shite, they've been playing the civil asset forfeiture game in a way that would make Capone blush.

The excuse is simple. They can claim their "training" allows them to detect. Also, most motorists don't know they can refuse field sobriety tests so, that whole fricking batch of Astrology comes into play. Finally, have you seen the hilarious turn around time the State has on blood tests associated with these arrests? As much as FOUR frickING MONTHS!

So, you get charged based on little more than some cop soothsayer and then, it takes you FOUR frickING MONTHS to get exonerating blood work! That's so egregiously long it can ONLY be intentional.

But they take advantage of the situation with the auto-suspension if motorists do, sober or not. And blood test don't seem to be refusable.

Field sobriety tests are the heel to toe walk, HGN (follow my pen), and the one legged stand. You can refuse those without penalty in every state that i know of. Its the breath test at the jail that you cant refuse without getting your license suspended.

EVERYONE should refuse the FSTs as a matter of common sense. They are just circus tricks set up to make evidence against you.

Ahhh ok. I was combining the 2. The more you know....

I guess it depends on other things for your lawyer to fight out, if you don't get your license suspended for refusing the breathalyzer. My thing is the obligatory blood test mass stops. Can't figure out how mandatory draws is Constitutional.

Ohh I definitely agree FSTs are circus "gotcha" tricks. Including to get you to say something like "I can't do that sober"..."gotcha"

These backwards hick cops refused to use breathalyzer tests

Wut? How can someone be proven to be under the influence without one? On large holidays here for zero tolerance, they'll draw your blood w/ a court order if you refuse.

Strangely enough, this is a slippery slope. What happens when you've been pulled over and the cop goes straight for the breathalyzer when you've given no indication you're under the influence. You're put in a position of being suspected of a crime just for driving. They need probable cause to introduce the breathalyzer.

You should see the videos. The officers just claimed to be trained in detecting the signs and that's enough. As for non-alcohol arrests they also have officers who claim to be able to do that well enough to justify an arrest! It's fricking the police version of astrology. They might as well bring in a palm reader only in this case the palm reader has a positive stake in finding you guilty! LOL

I don't even mind getting a blood test. What I mind is the fact that it takes them at least two months to get test back. But they go ahead and charge you that day! So you get to be charged with DUI on the word of some dude probably barely more qualified than the average Home Depot Clerk for a minimum of 2 months and it's taken as long as 4!!!

If you've had nothing to drink, refuse, get arrested and take the ride to the jail for hours

If the cop believes he's already got the cause to bring you to jail because you won't walk on a straight line then trying to walk on a straight line is not going to get you out of it. There's literally hundreds of videos proving this point.

The field sobriety test serves no benefit to the driver. Ever

I should also point out that if the only reason the police officer actually arrest you and takes you to jail is because you wouldn't do his dog and pony show then that's pretty much proving the point that the police are fricking kidnapping people tying them up and putting them in a cage with no probable cause. Which of course is happening a lot but still. They could at least pretend to hide it

the blood test is your best friend, if you're sober - if you get it at the hospital, you get the test results the next day


breathalyzer too, but they'll lie to you and not show you the results


FST's is horse shite
