[@16TheGotohell]

Thank you so much. I recently had to go to court over this bullshit and spend over 3k on a lawyer. I was playing basketball with a friend after work (we both work at night) so we were playing at about midnight. A cop rolled up and I just expected him to just ask us what we were doing but he decided to tell me my car smelled like weed so he tossed it. I keep a to go sample size cup of adobo in my car because it's delicious on most food. He told me it was controlled substance. I told him it was adobo but he wasn't having it. It tested false positive for cocaine. I got a fucking FELONY charge for seasoning. I lost my long gun license as well as drivers license because I was a "high risk". My lawyer had an unbiased chef come in to court to smell the seasoning before my charges were dropped. I had to take a semester off college to afford the lawyer fees. I missed out on a good job opportunity because I couldn't pass the background check. It's okay now and I'm enrolled in school for the spring but I got my life fucked for a solid 4 months. (Also a sidenote nicotine can send a false positive on a breathalyzer test.)

I met a cop who hates having to use a false positives test for drugs. I was on the street driving home from the local Pharmacy to pick up my anxiety medication. A cop pulled me over under the probable cause that I had drugs. I showed him my ID and the bottle of my meds and he wouldn't do the test because he knew the result would come out positive for PCP or something like that. He even told me directly and told me all about what you just described. He sent me on my merry way after that and apologized for the inconvenience.

The USA's judicial system is so dysfunctional that sometimes the actual prison sentence you will receive is shorter than the time you are in custody waiting for your trial. That's why some people decide to plead guilt and serve their sentence instead of waiting for a fair litigation.

[@garing2041]

Stelios Kloth or they plead guilty because they know they're guilty. Lol 95% of cases plead guilty because to say that you're innocent means that you're saying you didnt commit the crime when most of the time theres proof that they did. A significant portion of court is just negotiating over how long the prison sentence will be

How are these tests admissible in court if they're so easy to prove the invalidity of?

[@WellBeSerious12]

Because retards rule the USA and most countries.

[@tjc7773]

Inb4 reply to an old comment, I know. But they're actually not admissible in court, but are considered probable cause for arrest. There are stricter rules on admissibility in court than there are for warrants and arrests. In the 1970s-80s, forensic chemistry was basically meaningless, but modern science uses actual proven instrumentation (GC/MS, GC/GC/MS, LC/MS are common) which has significantly less false positives or false negatives. The main issue comes in with plea deals, because a lot of people don't know that the field tests are supposed to be inadmissible in court or expect that if the field test came out positive, the more rigorous approaches might also come out positive too. So even if it doesn't end up in court, there's still huge issues with it. Plus, there's plenty of developing techniques which can be used on site with more accuracy, such as electrochemistry techniques (what I did undergraduate research in) and Raman spectroscopy. The issue there is even if you use a more accurate method, you then have to train police officers who have little to no background in science to correctly interpret results. Source: I have a bachelor's in applied chem forensics; if you have a good background in chemistry and you want a forensic chem textbook I recommend Suzanne Bell's Forensic Chemistry, 2nd ed.

[@AJ-on-YT06]

@@tjc7773 and the officers 99.9% of the time take what is found and used in the test and put in the evidence locker in case it goes to trial and then it's sent off to a more accurate lab nine times out of 10 they're not going and taking their Tylenol PM bottle out and testing the Tylenol PM just to put them in jail for a night. Yeah the field test probably do suck and are probably wildly inaccurate but it's highly unlikely that cops are going and taking a batch of brownies from the bakery scraping the sugar off and getting a false positive just to f*** with somebody so they can look like a f****** moron in court

I could listen to you rant about stuff like this constantly, this is crazy and yet I'm so relaxed compared to how I was before this video started. You have a power my dude. I'm glad you choose to share it.

[@BlakieTT]

Your compassion with which you spoke about the people that would have been way better off being helped, rather than thrown in jail... that was touching, man. Too true.

[@voltaire7297]

Ahh American justice, how ironic for the "land of the free"

[@ThunderFeet00]

I do believe they use these things in every country with drug laws but okay

[@Scoutmemes247]

+Nick Dugan I think his point was that the US represents it self by the land of the free even though it's not

[@ThunderFeet00]

When you can bust a myth but not a nut It's still one of the most free countries there are. And it was the most free country for most of its history. It is a saying that is rooted in historic events not so much for modern standards. At least not right now anyway.

[@ihatevideogams2489]

but im also allowed to say "i don't believe in god" without getting killed so that's nice

[@lorenzosp8566]

+i hate video gams do you have to swear on the bible before testimoning in court? if that's true, what happens if you are atheist or not christian?

[@giuseppedauria1809]

They have a quota to meet its not like they genuinely give a fuck about the person who's life they're fucking up they're considered a god damn hero if they bust two teenagers hot boxing their moms car it's such a joke

[@sootmancer9851]

i LOVE how you actually stand up for the drug addicts instead of the usual "oh those are some bad people drugs are bad if they were good people they wouldnt be doing drugs" alot of problems with humans can be helped, locking them up usually just makes things worse i could imagine prison is kinda like this "keep the public in check with fear" you don't wanna go to jail, do you? well you better stick by the rules we have or there's gonna be trouble!!

[@AlphaZone100]

Well put sir, very articulate and clear. I studied criminal justice and really lost the desire to work in the field when I learned about crap like this. A friend of mine went to jail for a drug charge and on top of prison time, she ended up paying well over $2,500 in court and other legal fees. Nothing is paid for in prison, phone calls, toilet paper and basic needs aren't giving to you despite being forced to serve jail time. You have to pay for basic things. IMO, all drugs should be decriminalized and possible legalized. Portugal did this and found that while Pot use went up, hard drug use, such a heroine and cocaine went down because instead of feeding money to the prison system, treatment centers received the money and as a result, addicts got the help they needed. I also feel your right not to blame the police officers, they are fooled just as we are by the higher ups, who know that the test is bullshit.

[@Jimyoshow]

This man can talk about anything, and make it fucking fascinating every single time

[@EatdatWatermelon123]

there shouldn't be drug laws at all. people should have the right to put whatever they want in their own body.

[@20quindex10]

LOL it really is you Gary Busey!

[@salkohrnjic1991]

not if they're working jobs which require focus/alertness.

[@emhapz]

They shouldn't be necessarily legal, not things like heroine or meth. Marijuana, okay. But the punishment for being caught with them should definitely be fixed. Our whole system is so jacked and we have people serving 6 years for getting caught with an ounce and rapists only having to serve 3 months.

[@joselazo6840]

The problem with that is it affects other people too, not just the drug user.

[@brandonandujar2289]

It should be like the Philipenes were you can kill drug dealers and users get rehab.

[@Cakeybots]

Wow, I had no idea field drug tests were that unreliable, good informative video.

[@ManlyOBeeferton]

Well that was unexpected, but welcome. I had no idea how fucked it was.

[@glasscases7182]

I like your quote on quote "rant" videos the best. You're so insightful and yet humorous. Thank you thank you for this vid.

The direction that this channel is taking is fantastic.

I miss when Cr1tikal covered stuff more like this instead of KZbin drama

He does a bit of both tbf

Right? He's just an internet news outlet now

[@xXdarkdekuXx]

SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE A BIG HUBUB ABOUT THIS! I'd support it.

[@mrping2603]

YES!!! Cr1tikal you need to keep doing these, talk about other bad things in the world. Use the fact that 1.5 million people will listen to your advantage. PLEASE

[@mrping2603]

Just a suggestion but you should talk about: the Polygraph test, the Federal Reserve, the make-up/beauty company

[@thinnairr]

It wouldn't even matter what he talks about, as long as he keeps researching the issues well like he has thus far.

[@mrping2603]

+thinnairr I agree entirely

[@DokdorP]

Love how this is in my recommended 8 years after uploading. The problem still persists.

[@jouchikitsune]

Thank you for bringing this to light, I have been arguing this issue for years and this needs to be wide spread knowledge.

[@DatPeep]

Nice video to raise awareness of this bs. But otherwise I would also like to say, your a god damn good Tracer dude.

[@467sprite]

so i heard that the officers have a special "wording" or command and tap an area and the dogs scratches the car. not sure if its true.

[@craftingcreepers1559]

Watch enough videos where the dog doesn't react to an open window but to a closed door when close to an officer's hand is close to it and it starts to appear something is up. I wouldn't be surprised if officers unconsciously train dogs to react to people they are suspicious of or the dog develops a habit of getting false positives just to get attention.

[@wektion]

+Crafting Creepers it is known that veteran dogs will "find" a false positive because they receive praise when they find something. But that's how training animals works, you give them a test when they find your training substance do that they have that connection later. the problem is there isn't a good (ethical) way to train dogs not to lie. not getting a treat is equal to nothing at all and doesn't really match the negative reinforcement or punishment that needs to be administered.

[@rebeccatrishel]

Not exactly, but dogs (especially these drug-sniffing dogs) are really great at reading their handler's body language. The dogs know when their handlers expect them to find something and when they don't.

[@GameQari]

If a random internet stranger's anecdote means anything; they did exactly that shit to me my car and I saw it in my side view. Taps the fucking trunk, dog barks at trunk. Amazing. They said they were sure I had drugs there. I had drank 3 times in my whole life at this point, and never even seen drugs.

[@467sprite]

where do you live ^

[@Scatteredpast]

Fucking Critical out here saving lives

[@foxtailedcritter]

I'm glad you voiced something that many of us probably didn't know about the tests. You were funny but very informative you approached it in a great way too thanks for making this video.

[@SassyChick013]

Im so glad you posted this, I never knew about how inaccurate drug tests are and this really opened my eyes to this corrupt system that needs to be changed.

[@MadeInChina700]

i got arrested coming back from work for possession. i got stopped and i didn't get one of those tests bc it wasn't super relevant but the officer stopped me and i told him i was coming back from work and he stopped me and asked for ID, i said no because you don't have to. Then he told me i was misinformed (which i wasn't, but wasn't 100% sure at the time )and not cooperating, so i just handed it to him (hindsight is 20/20, but imagine if you were in my situation not 100% sure of the law). Then he asked to look through my bag, i said no and he told me he would tell my college about the incident (he saw my student ID in my wallet) if i didn't comply. At this point I was sure that had to be illegal....essentially threatening slander. So (again hindsight 20/20) i flipped out at him and told him he had no right to do that and started walking away. He grabbed my arm to pull me back, and i pushed him off of me and started walking away again, then he drags me back, puts me in handcuffs for assault and "fearing for his safety" and searches the bag, finds my weed, and arrests me. It was only 7gs or whatever so I'm not in jail, but still its fucked up how police officers can do that and get away with it. I guess to be fair I was a little high (i smoked right when i got off from work), and probably did smell like weed a little, but still. For anyone saying its no big deal bc it was just a small fine, it is bc it went on my record for 6 months....which forced me to withdraw my applications to transfer colleges to a school in china. School there is much more affordable (only 5k a year), and therefore it put a huge financial burden on me.

[@Whitejesus1997]

Shrek is Love don't do drugs next time

[@MadeInChina700]

looking back getting arrested was the best thing to happen to me financially. But probably not in the way lawmakers intended....all i can say is that the system is soooooo broken

[@shorpy3407]

You literally admitted that you probably smelled like weed...

[@kiwec]

Good thing I'm not in the US.

[@Scoutmemes247]

they use this in every other country

[@kiwec]

They don't use dogs to randomly drug test people in my country. They do air/blood tests, and then search the car.

[@Dewteliflower]

*cough cough* Portugal *cough cough*

[@GameQari]

Just today they got a Swede. So I hope you aren't Swedish!

[@xandon24]

It's pretty bullshit. There was one day when I was in highschool. Over the intercom I get called to the front office. I have no idea why and there is a cop there. I freak out thinking something happened to my family or something but no, they escort me to a car where they are doing a random fucking search for drugs using a k-9 unit and the dog just happened to sniff and bark at my car. They immediately just assumed I was on drugs and even went as far as to ask me "When was the last time you used drugs?" I have not once in my life used any drug, not even alcohol because I'm a bitch. They told me either I unlock my car and let them search or they are going to break a window to get in. I don't want a broken window because some dog barked at my car so I unlock it and let them search. The dog goes in and sniffs around and starts digging at my seat. My seat is torn open because of this dog, I had nice leather seats and this dog digs and breaks the stitching open and starts putting his nose in the new hole. The cops either wanting to just pretend they didn't see that or actually not paying any fucking attention assume it's a hole I used to store drugs. They then want to search my entire backpack and everything. Whatever they aren't going to find anything so I let them. They don't find anything as I suspected and they let me off and later I found out, doing some looking for myself that I had some bacon crumbs on my seat from this sandwich I ate the other day. TL;DR I almost got busted for drugs because of bacon and a search dog that tore open my seat.

[@duelyst9552]

That's fucked. I feel bad for you man.

[@ImRottenInside]

TL;DR bullshit

[@huwsinden7934]

I'm not an american so I don't know what it's like over there, but over here in England I've been on protest marches and we all get given cards reading our rights when it comes to stop and searches and also contact details for a solicitor if the worst comes to worst. It has got some of the people closest to me out of deep shit.

[@ryanmcnulty9851]

Thank you for making this video. The part about drug addicts being people who need help was especially great. Society is quick to demonize drug users and justify prison for them rather than rehabilitation, but you're one of the few that understands the situation. You're a great guy.

[@Nephi895]

Yeah, fuck private prisons too. But this is also bscly the plot to ricki-o.

[@noirerequiemii101]

These comments are gold,glad you guys knew anyways

[@silversmoke8398]

I'm glad you're spreading awareness about this, man. This is a serious issue. Like you said, the prison industry is about profit, like any other industry. And they use these tests for two reasons. They know they're cheap. And they know they're unreliable. Why use a test that works, when you can easily void the citizens rights with a false positive? It's a fucking shame is what it is.

[@SuperT380]

i really like these videos, i feel like they will help me in some way later down the road, especially the textbook one

[@CozyJoney]

*waiting for all the druggies to defend their constant use of narcotics*

[@SpongeKiller42]

+Davey Reetz I'm not talking about the video. I'm talking about the dumbass idiots who will come to this video to defend their use.

[@janesmith1840]

Couple things. First up, the entire video is about people who DIDN'T have drugs on them in the first place, you fucking genius. And secondly, I just want you to know that ignorant, intolerant dipshits like you are the reason I honestly won't care when the nukes start flying. I'm an addiction counselor, I deal with "druggies" on a daily basis. Hell I used to be one. And I can tell you firsthand that these people, the ones you get a rock hard 3-incher condemning, are victims, not criminals. They're survivors of severe childhood abuse, or rape, or both and worse. They started using because it's easier than suicide, and living sober with all the fucked up shit going around in their heads just isn't worth it. Louis C.K. actually said it best: "Here's something that is going to solve literally every single problem you have right now, but seriously, don't do it". And then it starts to consume them, they forget who they used to be and become this creature that exists solely to find and use their drug of choice. They lose their memories first, then their ability to speak coherently, then their sense of humanity altogether until they're basically braindead. They run out of money, and withdrawals (which are something I have firsthand experience with) are a feeling I wouldn't wish on Hitler or Pol Pot. So they steal, and they degrade themselves, and eventually they realize that they can't possibly sustain this lifestyle, so they kill themselves, with nobody to mourn them or even notice that they're gone. And all because someone decided to use them as a punching bag, or a masturbation tool. But they're all terrible people who deserve to go to prison, right?

[@SpongeKiller42]

+John Smith Dude, first of all, shut the fuck up. I talk about experience, 3 of my cousins grew up in a spoiled household. 2 Picked up cocaine and the other weed. One ended up getting arrested for domestic abuse and the other for attempted murder. They had everything, I was with them and their parents were great to them, they were just busy but they always spend time with them if they could. I'm talking about those fucks. Calm the fuck down, Mr.Everything is Situational. Not everyone is abused, people take up recreational usage and they get hooked thus creating more situations for them to get into trouble.

[@janesmith1840]

+SpongeKiller42 Point me in the direction of even one comment that's using this video to defend their use. One. And beyond that, why the fuck are you trying to pick a fight in the first place? Do you really have nothing better to do with your time, you little shit?

[@WholesomeMemes]

BTFO. Love it when people use factual information and reasoning to actually disprove a point. Thank you.

[@coldeed]

I feel any intoxication in public is worthy of repercussions. Like a facility that imprisons you and holds you to be anti-drug education center. Now, I'm a guy that does coke and acid while smoking and drinking, and advocates for those drugs to be legalized, regulated and sold lawfully in the US, I just believe you shouldn't do that shit 24/7, which for some reason pisses of all the potheads I have met.

[@theMillieWonka]

my friend was recently in jail for 6 months for a false positive. came out with no car, no job, no money.

[@At0mix]

In forensic chemistry class we learned about 'presumptive tests' and 'confirmatory tests'. The tests you're talking about here are presumptive tests, these serve no other purpose than to rule out some substances and narrow it down to "this could potentially be a drug." Presumptive tests HAVE to be followed up by confirmatory tests, which are more in-depth analyses with extremely low rates of false-positives to determine the exact chemical composition of the compound in question. You will never be convicted based on a presumptive test alone. The real tragedy here is suspects not being informed about this and having them agree to some shitty plea deal even though they're perfectly innocent.
