What is the name of your state? California
Hello everybody,
I am 21 years old. About a month ago, my friends and I got pulled over. We had beer in the car and it was open. The cop obviously saw the beer and took us out of the car. I was not drunk at all but I was driving and he started doing sobriety tests and I did not make a single mistake. He then asked me when I last smoked weed and I told him 6 hours ago which was stupid of me but whats happened has happened. Anyways, they took me into the station and impounded the car. At the station they administered a breath test and I passed that as well. They also drew blood samples. I overheard them saying that they wanted to also test for THC but in the end all I got back was a peice of paper that said I can check my Blood alcohol level on the internet. I got charged with DUI/drugs and open container. My car was searched and I was not in possession of any drugs or drug paraphenelia.
A week later I check the result of my blood test and I had a blood alcohol level of .00% yes .00%
My question is can I fight it? I mean from the sobriety tests clearly I was not under the influence. I had no alcohol in my system. I was not in possession of anything. I was not DUI. Dont I have to be proven guilty without a shadow of a doubt? A blood test is not proof of anything.
If they tested for THC can I get those results??? And do I have a chance? What sort of issues should I be expecting when I go the court? Thanks for all your help fellas.
Edit: BTW this is my first arrest ever. I know I shouldnt have said some things to the cop but I cannot change the past now.
