Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda means nothing. So tired of this world and life in general. The laws should be returned to pre-1972!!! 😞

How often were people even driving? That’s the basic part you are already skipping over. If you aren’t being paid to drive at the time, you’re not driving. Period.

I worked as a paralegal in a criminal law office many decades ago, and I have the utmost respect for all the lawyers at that firm. They were all honest and always tried to conduct themselves in a highly ethical manner.

[powerplantfit]

Are the prosecutors and the judges responsible for knowing the evidence and problems like that they might have in the case and isn’t that the point behind why they would not pick up the charges in the first place?

I got a DUI in a commercial vehicle they gave me one ticket that says I got pulled on the right date and in the wrong truck and the other ticket say I got pulled on the wrong date in the right truck and I think I should get this drop on technicality

[TYRONE_SHOELACES]

I am in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
I actually talked myself out of getting a possible DUI charge, BUT I was NOT drinking...not a drop.
I have been educating myself for over 10 years on Canadian Law and mostly interactions with police on different levels.
I was stopped very late at night because I get off work at midnight and like to unwind by driving around my City while enjoying a coffee.
Even though the police need no reason to stop you or give you a DUI test, he said I was driving very slow past the closed businesses, so I looked like I was prowling.
I know how to keep a cop calm, as he approached my car, I had all the tinted windows lowered, all dome lights on, paper work on the dash, and my 2 hands protruding out the driver's window to show I am not concealing anything in my hands.
He asked me for my paperwork, then asked where am I coming from. I explained to him that, respectfully, I will not answer any questions not relevant to the traffic stop until the traffic stop has been concluded. After the traffic stop has concluded, I will then ask you if I am still detained, and if you say I am detained, I will explain that I have nothing to say, and that I would like to speak to a duty counsel lawyer as soon as possible.
I then said that I will be timing the traffic stop to determine if I have grounds for arbitrary detention if and when I file a police complaint with the Halifax Police Complaints Commissioner's Office, 1692 Hollis St, Third Floor, last door on the left.
He then became "slightly" agitated but still respectful and asked if I had been drinking tonight, I remember reading that it's in my best interest to answer that one question, even if I don't have to, so I quickly said "No".
He then said that he is going to perform a Roadside Sobriety Test on me and for me to exit the vehicle and stand in front of his car.
Before exiting my car, I raised all windows, turned the dome lights off, locked the car with the valet key, but left the ignition in the "on" position.
As soon as I got out, he asked why do I have my phone on a lanyard around my neck. I said I am recording him and that Canadian Law stipulates that I can record a police officer in public in the course of his duties, as long as I don't interfere or obstruct ... I said having my phone on record, on my chest is in no way interference, if you think it is interference, please call a Supervisor.
He attempted to administer a nystagmus test, but I interrupted him and said that I prefer if you continued the test in front of my car instead of in front of his car.
He asked why...I said there are a number of reasons, you have flashing lights on your police car and your headlights are still on, and I would be facing traffic, facing oncoming headlights at night, all of which can cause a false positive when administrating the nystagmus test...or do you want me to fail?
He said " Well, why in front of your car", I said that I can turn facing away from your cars lights then, and I have a very high quality, 1440K 60 fps dash cam that is still running ( I left the key in the "one" position), and I would like to record the actual SRST procedure.
He said that I already have my phone on record, what's the sense?
I said to him that I am forced under Canadian Law to take this test, but YOU are obligated by law to perform this test flawlessly.
I then said that there are 25 steps alone that you are required to perform in order to JUST administer the nystagmus test alone, 25 is a lot of things to remember. Failure to hold the pen at the proper distance, moving the pen too fast or too slow are just 2 of them, and of course, the dash cam and phone will record if you make the mistake of "looping."
He hesitated and then said to me with a half a smile " Are you a lawyer?" ...I said " No, I am NOT a lawyer, I am also NOT a chef, but I can cook a roast perfectly."
He said that he is concluding the SRST based on the fact that he is satisfied that I have not been drinking. He said that I am " sure-footed", no glassy or watery eyes, no muscle tremors, no signs of agitation and definitely no signs of slurred speech, and he mentioned that my car's paperwork is in order, my driver's license has no prior infractions and my car is in proper mechanical order.
10 YEARS, I have been educating myself on police interactions with the public, and it kinda paid off that night.
I have practiced performing roadside sobriety tests over 200 times now, so that I will not be suckered into their " divided attention" tests in the dark of the night.

PS: To anybody not Canadian reading this, as of 2018, in Canada, the police can now stop you for no reason, just to check you out, and they can demand you take a roadside sobriety test, and also demand a breath sample from you.
You cannot speak to a lawyer before performing these tests.
If you refuse, not only are you instantly charged, but all your fines are now doubled.
Only under reasonable suspicion can Canadian police demand you take a roadside saliva test to check for consumption of drugs.

I wish this guy was in the US to help me with a Civil case. Most lawyers can't remember the day of the week.

If I have a prescription medication is my best defence I wasn't under the influence right plz reply

[georgepotter]

Do you also try to get people off who have caused an accident where innocent people have died or been seriously injured and children no longer have a mother or father and lives are changed forever. God forbid the police didn't dot an I or cross a T the proper way. Will you be there for them, do you visit the victims in then hospital or go to services of those who have died or do you spend all your time looking for typos in the state's case and getting your clients off so you can charge the highest fees? Something maybe legal in a sense but it does not make it right. Personal accountability sadly is rarely around these days and we look for ' outs ' instead of owning up to our actions.

I am amazed to see this piece right after watching one about a man who had his 10th DUI right before he drove drunk and killed someone. Imagine that.
