What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WI
I was pulled over for speeding and cop smelled pot and a empty beer bottle in the car found 3.1 grams of pot(54 year old male should no better). First offense like this, speeding ticket 4 months ago. I admitted to smoking pot and having a beer 2 hours prior with a buddy at a bar,truth. The field breathalyzer blew a .09 and the FST I failed terribly. I was impaired for medical reasons at the time I did not understand I had called my doctor the week prior to the arrest, the pharmacist and a eye docotor as I was having floaters dizziness nausea at work following a week of indocin for gout.(side effects include occular changes) I still have flashes and floaters as the vitreus humor is drying out in my eye from the indocin which was discontinued. They also found loose lisiniprol for HBP in my car not in a bottle and wrote me up for Illegal Possession of Prescription Drugs the bottle was used to keep the 3 grams of pot in.
I remember driving fast thru some cones saying "wow are they close and are they coming at me fast I am gonna tell my buddy to be careful" who I was going north to go skiing with, this was at 10 o clock at night I think the cones mesmerized me and I did not think to slow down, The lights from the two cop cars threw me off also. I did not think to slow down with the effects of the eye changes and I also was on 40 mils of lisinprol later dropped to 20 as I was still dizzy a week after the arrest and my doctor cut Lisinipril in half. I would never drive 15 over thru town in a construction zone though the cop told me I was not being cited for being in a construction zone.
So I get to the booking area cop comes in to read me Miranda and says I bet you will blow .08(this was an hour after the pickup) she leaves when I excercise Miranda writes and blow .00 twice and they still lock me up due to the FST results. Blood work comes back .00 for ethanol and 2.5 on delta nine which I guess is like second hand smoke.
Attorney has been very thorough with paperwork to me and says they have my confession #1, pot, smell of smoke and best he can do is an ordinance violation so the possession is not a federal offense, drop speeding, drop illegal possession of prescription drugs(I have an order for the drugs) so I am tagged with ordinance violation for pot and DUI for controlled substance. He says a trial will not be successful as Wisconsin is a strict state of Zero Tolerance for Delta 9 do you agree?
Side note on the report the .09 they showed me on the filed breathalyzer they changed to .009 in the report, I have nerve damage in my hand, the report was significantly embelished to their benefit of course and I was ridiculed when they pulled me over but my attorney says non of this is really important and the nerve damage is coming back. Really did not think pot was such a big deal but it is and c cap is permanent in wisconsin. I am sure illegal possession of prescription drugs will not go over well if found out I am in healthcare but yes I SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS.
So if I am blood tested for any amount of pot I can get another DUI as it stays in your blood for 30 days? Why would the cop write a lesser FST of 009. in her report? Attorney feels all this is insignificant. Thanks Never again wife has been supportive and does not do drugs or have more than a glass of wine. Lost alot of respect for the police I tell the truth they ridicule me and mock me and embelish the police report never got any help getting in the police car with my hands behind me I had to like slither in and out.
