If say, 50% of people have smoked within the last (fill in time period), like in CA, and will thus 'test' positive, where is the check on the police overuse of the charge, ie: harassment, if 'observed' behavior is the deciding factor? |

So that meme above brings up a question.
Have you ever gone out to eat and realized the cook or chef or even waiter is someone you've detained before? If so, do you still eat the food? Do you run? What do you do in that scenario? |

I haven't come across somebody I've detained/arrested that was directly or indirectly involved with the handling of my food, but if I did I likely wouldn't eat the food or I would watch like a hawk as my food was being prepared. |

The Standardized Field Sobriety Tests and the incorporated NHTSA-3 are scientifically backed methods of determining impairment reliably. These relatively simple divided attention tests are extremely easy when sober, but are very difficult when impaired. That's part of the beauty of the tests. If you can't find the nose on your face, how on Earth are you in a condition to operate a motor vehicle with the same safety, care and concern of a sober person?!?!

For a cop to contend impairment, must he have a backup of some sort, like video, or is the call of the cop sufficient? |

But a blood test for reefer will come back positive way after the effects have faded, maybe weeks later.

If you smoked two weeks ago, your levels would be different than if you smoked an hour ago. |

But I might burn off reefer fast also...? I wonder if there is a one-size-fits-all in this instance. |

I am enjoying this discussion of how MJ impairment is determined. Apparently the same sobriety tests of coordination and speech are determining factors and a blood tests is nothing more than confirmation.
Is this also how it is done for people who are high on opiates or other chemicals that might not show on a tox test? If someone fails the field sobriety tests but comes back negative for all screening what happens then? |

If someone is just uncoordinated (…e.g. ..overweight, etc.), they won't exhibit the other signs and symptoms of impairment, thus, a DUI is ruled out. |

Sedan, I think what Littlebear was saying is, What is stopping a cop from saying someone is intoxicated on weed and then arresting him? The tox results will come back positive if the guy smoked in the last month or whatever, so the evidence will almost always back the police story.
Do the blood tests show how much marijuana is in the body or how recently it was put in the body? Anything like a BAC? Other than the truth and honor of the individual officer, what protection does a pot user have against false accusations? |

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. |

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. |
