Again, it is the impairment that must be proven, not just the simple usage or presence of the drug in a person's system. It's the same approach with alcohol. Having alcohol in your system does not mean you are impaired. The officer would need to make the case for the impairment.

Some THC tests are more thorough than others, so the level of testing is determined by how much a department is willing to spend.

Also keep in mind that it is the behavior behind the wheel that will get the officer's attention in the first place. Erratic driving behavior will be articulated, and once the investigation proves the impairment, therein lies the core aspects of the arrest.

Sounds fair enough. Use the same tests for impairment for any substance. For that matter if someone is just too tired and can't stay focused - boom.

I know for myself I can drive fine on one drink. Any more than that is a no go. So pretty much I drink what I want - when I'm not driving. And don't drink at all if driving.

On those occasions when I am downwind of the stoners (legal here in AZ now) and I get a contact high (

) I also restrict my driving privileges. I'm way too old and good looking to go to jail.

Fatigue isn't treated the same. Sure, the initial stop might be to investigate a DUI based on erratic driving, but we can discern between fatigue and drug and/or alcohol use. The body communicates impairment pretty obviously if the person/observer knows what to look for.

Lol @ your final point. I get you bro!

@Sedan_Clan Are you 10-8 this weekend? If so, are you expecting a busier holiday weekend? State police here announced DWI checkpoints and heavier patrols. I just went out to run errands and didn't see a single cop

If had been stopped after golf today DWI for sure. Of course I drove home on private roads in my golf cart so no menace to society.

I generally stay away from those I come across while at work. They tend to be more problems than they are worth. I prefer to fly under the radar.

Yeah, but do you know how hard it is to find a woman whose gag reflex is as absent as her daddy issues? They're damn near mutually exclusive.

is that too explicit for this forum?

Hahaha. Damn, I just got out on curfew.

Morning, Buttercup. It's only midnight here, I still got a little time. Holiday weekend, nothings open tomorrow.

Celebrating Labor Day. The irony.
