I got pulled over this mornin after a job interview. I had just finished a spliff and always spray fabreeze to cover the smell and a spray of calone works good also. the cop said he new i was high and wrote me a ticket for pos of weed. can i get that if i dont have any one me?? im confused on the ticket.
if the cop didn't find any and didn't give you a drug test then fight it.its like when your drunk and get a field sobriety test.you can fight somebodys opiniun {he looks high} but its hard to fight a test{chemical drug test}.
either fight it in court, or see your district attourney. He will probally get rid of the charge all together for you. And the reason is becuase he has to deal with all the tickets and crap, and he dont want to mess with the stupid shit like that.
But yeah, id say that cop is fucking with your 4th admendment rights there. lol.
for yourself..IF the cop didnt give you a drug test to determine if the chemical was in your body..there is no way a ticket can stand up in court..
remember the court has to PROVE you where high at the time you operated a vehichle..this will be very hard to do unless you were taken into custody, and had extensive testing done almost immediately....to be safe clean out and fight that ticket...most states punish for operating a motor vehichle while under the influence of drugs/narcotics just as if you were drunk....when is the last time you got stopped while drunk and then let go?
good luck
I'm from michigan too...that ticket will not stand up in court :
id probally be bad about that kinda thing too. I more of a person that doesnt like to.....speak out I guess you could say. But id see about consulting a lawyer ( if you can afford, lol) or someone in power to do somthing about that.
You said he pulled you over,did he have justification to do so?,if not then I don't care if you were rolling like cheech and chong in Nice Dreams,if it's not a legal stop,then it ain't a legal bust.I'd fight the ticket,don't want it on paper that sort of thing,next check by the LEO when they run your plates,and they'll stop you everytime,just to check you out.And the next time they might get lucky,and you're in a crap load of trouble.Good luck.
Problem with propable cause is that he can say whatever he feels like to justify the stop. He thought he seen somthing wrong or whatever. But yeah.
just thought id bring a thread back from the dead
its your word against his and cops will lie their ass off in court. like "i smelled marijuana and he was driving erratically". unfortunately the judge is bound to agree with the pig and youll be screwed.
