Busted Letter #115 – Drug Test DUI?
Wed, Aug 08, 2007 2:25 pm
I was busted at 10:30 a.m. on a Monday morning. I had not smoked since a few days before so I was not high whatsoever. I told them right off that they did not have a search warrant and they said they had probable cause because my friend smelled like weed. I had just watched him put on a clean shirt, he hadn't smoked at all that day either.
We were put up against the wall and searched, they found the pot and I was arrested right then and bailed out by my friend at 2:30. Then after I was released they led me and my friend back to the drug squad for some kind of accusation/questioning thing. It was total BS! Can I be charged with a DUI off of a urine test? I thought that weed stayed in your system for a couple of months...
I have court Sept. 5 and am facing misdemeanor marijuana possession and DUI which could suspend my license for six months up to a year. I have never been arrested before, the worst I have ever had is a speeding ticket. I also do not even live where I got arrested. It was my hometown but I was just passing through. I live 2,300 miles away in Missoula, MT. Now what should I do?

This is NO JOKE and is completely on the up and up. Check out their web site and GET INVOLVED!!! You can find all the video proof you need on the web site to prove it is true. Some videos of actual news media and discussions in the senate on a bill to legalize ALL drugs. They are fighting in Congress and the UN and traveling all over the U.S. to help educate people on the failed drug policies. THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND WIIL ALL HAPPEN A LOT FASTER IF EVERYONE GETS INVOLVED. Put your bongs down for one minute and do some networking and tell EVERYONE to voice their opinions.
I urge everyone to go online and look up "Law Enforcement Against Prohibition" and at least check it's validity. I know that after getting busted myself, I was feeling really guilty about the whole ordeal. But after reading through this site for a while I was feeling very disturbed and not because I was wrong but, because WE ALL SHOULD HAVE THE BASIC HUMAN RIGHT TO DECIDE WHAT GOES INTO OUR BODIES!!!
WE HAVE AN OUTLET PEOPLE, ONE THAT WILL END THIS INSANITY!!! DO THIS NOW AND TELL EVERYONE!!! IT IS TIME TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS BACK. WE ARE NOT WRONG!!! THE LAWS ARE WRONG!!!!!

Anyway I got a visit from C.P.S. (child protective services) They say I have to go take a drug test, the last time they tested me, it came back clean. Does anyone know if I have to take this test? I don't want them to take my new baby, because of some little asshole kids making shit up, or because I smoked weed. Please help!

You can not hold up a smell in court, and point to it as probable cause to search.
Now, if a canine unit "hits" on your car, the officer can point at the dog in court as a reason to search.
Know your rights bro. There are a lot of links on this site that will help you in this, but don't stop here.
American cops are some of the biggest criminals in the world. Most don't understand the people of this country are supposed to have the rights, not the government.
Next time they give you that "I smell weed" line, say this verbatim:
"I retain my fourth amendment rights under the constitution of the United States of America, and DO NOT consent to a search of my person, vehicle, or belongings, and I have been advised by legal counsel not to answer any questions without my attorney present. So, now I must ask you officer, am I being cited, placed under arrest, or being detained so you can obtain a search warrant?"
If you are not being arrested, or cited, you are typically free to go. There are laws preventing the police from detaining you unreasonably, so as to secure a search warrant.
Check you local laws, and have them handy for reference.
Oh, and when a cop gives you a breathalyzer, and throws the little plastic thing on the ground, inform him that is littering, cite the statute, and ask him to pick it up.
I did, and it was funny.

I do know that ALL DISEASE are made made and created mostly by the food we consume.
If no one has notice lately it seems our food system has been under attack.
First it was the peanut butter,then greenbeans, catfish,the canned chilies.
We should all it as close to NATURAL as we can.
I know the HEMP does not contain pesticides or growth hormones and is far the pureist.
Thanks for the Info!

Dickhead has rightfully pointed out one factor that I neglected to mention and he is right. Bringing the clones (hopefully female) to full maturity will display their "true" genetics and his method will give you a better idea of the potential results you will be dealing with. With that being said, I still atnd by my method of inducing flowering and then switching back to veg lighting. But as I previously said..I have successfully utilized both methods. Sticky..try them both and see what you think. Dickhead..thanks for pointing ou that your final observation, you are absolutley correct.

Correct!..or you can do it the way Dickhead outlined..both methods have worked for me. Your motherplant will last indefnitely as long as you keep in under veg photoperiod and do not run out of head room. How many cutings you can take at one time depends on the size of the mother plant. Small mother plants = 2 or 3 clones at one time. Large motherplants = 3-5 cuttings/clones at one time. Then you can go back 10-14 days later to take some more cuttings. if you take to many cuttings at once..you will shock the plant.

You can induce flowering by switching to a 12/12 photoperiod. That will show you your females and males. Pull the males, switch back to vegatative lighting 18/6 and your female plant(s) will revert to the vegatative stage with no negative ramifications. THEN...you can take your cuttings for clones!

As I said , you can get a dui anytime high or not. I think you mean CONVICTED of a dui , which is different .
Plenty of people get a dui and are not CONVICTED . Which brings us to my original statement , The problems start when you get to court . Nice attempt Dude but no cigar ......

Aug 10 2007, 5:44 pm
if they want to stick you with a DUI they have to prove you were DUI "at the time of the arrest"
that's impossible to do when they wait to test later.
a good lawyer can likely fix this, but if you hire a schmuck yeah, you'll be screwed.
the only way they can get him on DUI is to produce a fake test and lie their asses off (which is not unusual sadly)

Unless the cops are pissed at you about something,in most cases a first offense can be pleaded down to reckless driving or at least that happens with most of the DUI's in Georgia.
Being as though yours was POT I do not know what will come of this.
I do know a guy who just got busted for the same thing in Georgia on the 4th of July weekend.
He had a wreck and the state patrols come to the scene,he was NOT drinking,so they ask him to take a drug test,because of his slurring words and not being able to walk a streight line.( he was on some PAIN KILLERS not WEED)
He refused the test and was charged with DUI for unknown drugs,but no drugs were found.
His lawyer told him he should have taken the test,because he is under 21 years of age and said the judge was going to be harder on him for not takeing the test.
I have been told by lawyers the exsact opposite,but I am over 21 and mine was alcohol related.
Good luck!
One lawyer even told me I could be a NO SHOW in court and move to another state and that they WOULD NOT come after me,but that I would never be able to return to Georgia.
BUT if you are living in MONTANA????
Something to ponder,BUT TALK TO YOUR LAWYERS FIRST.

Your letter is a little vague on some points . What was the reason for pulling you over ? The judge will ask why you had weed/bowl in your possession if you weren't smoking it .
From what your letter states , they have every reason to assume you are DUI . Do you have any evidence to the contrary ?

Bottom line , the SMELL is probable cause in MOST states. The only thing missing in this letter is WHY were you pulled over ? The absence of this detail tends to make one think there is a reason for its exclusion .
Don't use the "I was holding it for a friend" ploy and Good Luck .

i hope that is an easy question.
same idea applies here.
proving by that you have marijuana in your system today DOES NOT PROVE THAT IT WAS IN YOUR SYSTEM AT THE TIME OF ARREST.

Aug 9 2007, 5:41 pm
second, you should not be able to be charged with a DUI over a drug test UNLESS THE DRUG TEST WAS ADMINISTERED AT THE EXACT TIME OF THE TRAFFIC STOP, you could have been clean that day and smoked afterwards. a drug test days after the fact gives them nothing.
third, if you can't get the search declared illegal, you screwed on the 5gs and pipe.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, GET A GOOD LAWYER, PREFERABLY ONE THAT IS RECOMMENDED BY NORML.

Traces of Marijuans in your urine is not an indication of recent usage nor an intoxication meter . Better get a lawyer anyway . The cops will say :
1) they smelled it.
2) you had it, with bowl
3) piss says you smoked it.
I'm assuming they pulled you over for something ?
So , put yourself in the judges shoes ...would you let someone go under these circumstances ?
