Doxyalmine dui case Dismissed!!!!!!!!


Arizona,

Hello,

I was charged with felony DUI in the state of Arizona after I was in an accident with my 10 month old son. I had had nothing to drink and the only thing I had in my system was a trace amount of doxylamine. I was told by CdwJava who claims to be police chief and an expert in forensic sciences and the amount I had in my system was way over the legal limit, I had taken 50 milligrams 48 hours before and was worried that I would be convicted and sent to prison . Well I'm back to let him and everybody else that laughed at me on that day know that not only was the case dismissed but my husband and I successfully sued the Scottsdale police department for false arrest and illegal search and seizure.
We were informed today that the arresting officer is no longer working in law enforcement due to the circumstances of this case. We are also working tor ward recovering financial damages that were caused by the accident and the cost of the attorney. I will NEVER I REPEAT NEVER assist another police officer in way . I hope every time that officer fills out a job application he thinks about me. because he tried to ruin my life and instead I ruined his. I'm writing this to let other people know that there is hope and just because there is an arrest doesn't mean there will be a conviction. Fight for your rights and be very careful when dealing with anybody in law enforcement.
Sometimes the goodgals win. Have a nice day!

My... aren't we vindictive?

You mean he only got fired?

Why didn't you force them to crucify and execute him in the courthouse parking lot?

I sincerely hope that you're never in an accident again, and pray that no one you love is ever injured or the victim of a crime... since you never want any police officers to respond.

Good luck in handling that on your own.

Good. I'm glad you prevailed in this case since you were in the right. The overzealous cop is gone, which is good for the community. (As long as they can replace him with a more qualified cop)

Now, I would move on and just forgive and forget. Life's short.

That's great news indeed, Jtrudo69! I'm glad you fought back. You were a victim of the current MADDness atmosphere that's filled with DUI quotas and hysteria for more DUI arrests. Not a good thing for unqualified LEOs buying into the propaganda.

Really! That happens all the time towards people who are ASSUMED to be guilty before their day in court.

If I were in the similar position (which most people could be everytime they take OTC allery or cold medicines and drive), I would have also gone public with the story. A smear campaign that would make not only the Scottsdale police department cringe, but every department in all 50 states cringe.

Well can you blame her? She was the victim of a hit & run crash and her son was injured. And instead of going after the man who ran the red light, she was arrested for a crime she didn't commit. How helpful was law enforcement then?

Keeping your mouth shut and providing only the information required by law (name, address, license, proof of registration/insurance) is a person's first best defense. I believe that's what she meant when she wrote:

Congratulations jtrudo69,

Don't listen to people like Curt581. You were the unfortunately victim of the MADDness and I'm happy to see that justice was served in this case.

You are clearly delusional. I don't believe a word you've written. Especially after your ranting in your original post: [url]http://forum.freeadvice.com/showthread.php?t=211803[/url]


And I still wonder why people even try to help here...

Don't listen to them jtrudo, this is typical ranting from the MADDness. They never want to believe that a person accused of DUI might actually be innocent.

Thank you for proving them wrong.

Was the case dismissed because it was proven that you were in no way under the influence, or was the case dismiised just because the officer messed up the procedure or something?

Seems to be the latter.

...my husband and I successfully sued the Scottsdale police department for false arrest and...

Just an observation but I would imagine it would be difficult to prove false arrest for a person found guilty.

It's more about denial. Anytime one claims something didn't happen when in fact it did is total denial.

Deny that they could ever be arrested for the crime - because after all they don't drink and drive. Deny that getting arrested for DUI because of an OTC or prescribed drug really happens. Deny it so they don't have to admit they too have driven within a manner that a LEO could have enough probable cause to arrest. This making them no better than the very people they despise.

Boy, the MADDers REALLY have a problem accepting the fact that innocent people are getting unfairly arrested on account of the current DUI laws situation, don't they?

Listen to all the excuses we're hearing. Well, it must have been this, or it must have been that. Must have been just a technicality.

Sheeeshh!!! Get over yourselves. Not everyone who is arrested for DUI is guilty. OK??? Just like not everyone arrested for murder is guilty. Just like not everyone arrested for ANYTHING is guilty.

Sometimes the police are just plain wrong. Accept it. It's a fact.

Amen to that. Wish I would have realized that, but then again..... I had been drinking. I got what I deserved though; I won't deny it. I will, however, prevent that from ever happening again.

"Boy, the MADDers REALLY have a problem accepting the fact that innocent people are getting unfairly arrested on account of the current DUI laws situation, don't they?"

Yeah, this is my point.

The poster, as I am reading it, wasnt innocent. She was just lucky that procedure or something wasnt followed and because of that, the case was dismissed.

So dont go off on your ranting about how innocent people are being arrested.

And also for the original poster, "CdwJava who claims to be police chief and an expert in forensic sciences" did indeed give you good information and never once laughed at you until you came back and started attacking him/her.

By the sounds of things you werent innocent, just that some sort of procedure was messed up along the way.

Did the lawsuit end in a settlement outside of court?
