Let me know if you've ever been pulled over by the police.

[@gster774]

My case is in January. The officer didn’t search me or the car just straightaway asked for drug test

[@gorillaz308]

@@gster774 surely he must have had reasonable reason to drug test you? They arnt aloud to randomly drug or alcohol test people. Granted they could find a reason if they wanted to even if you had never smoked or taken drugs in your life. 1 person I heard of was drug tested because there vehicle was dirty!! Most ott law out of there!

Other night sat around corner from my house waiting for me to come home after a ampr camera hit knowing I was on way home and had a local follow me down part my route didn't even get changes to get my belt off when I pulled up into my driveway and oh this is the 4th attempt they have tried to get me for drug driving been under the first 2 and 3rd was a fuck up through covid changed but never got any paperwork nor court date and then a year of been pulled by local police for e.g tyres checks and documentation oh and the odd drink test to see if I am drunk. I have adhd and after 15 years of fighting waiting have starting to be medicated and with help from local drug couches redusing one used while putting up the adhd medication as I used cannabis to self medication and I had stayed this everytime I was arrested for the drug driving offence I have never done any other crime to feed my addiction nor have I gone out to commit crime I try keep myself to myself but constantly been harassed my local police force I have even tried changing vehicles on a regular basis and still for no reasonable excuse pulling me to do checks or regular checks as they say I am currently looking at what my position is as I point out this is the 4th time they are trying to get me for this offence no other and I am continual pulled over not always drug tested and the last few that I did was negative. is this one classed as harassment and second as this is there 4th attempt at this and I am as I have been call a low end criminal 😅 is they not away to get them off my back I understand I am braking the law I don't need that point out and I also understand I will also get pulled no matter what just because I have one of them faces unfortunately I know suck to be me

October last year I was convicted in Crown Court for failing to provide a specimen of blood... The prosecution came out in the lobby while I was speaking to my barrister and with a few people listening, the prosecution said how the judges will find me guilty because I have tattoos so my credibility was nothing. I then had someone come and tell me who was sat in the lobby while the prosecution was discussing my case out loud with others around. I have a true fear of needles to the point I go to pass out but the court already passed judgment before my trial even started. Am I able to do anything about this now seeing it was almost a year ago since they broke the law and did what they did?

[@m.a.j.lawltd1851]

Hi. You have an automatic right to appeal against a conviction within 21 days. You can appeal out of time but would need 'leave' from the court (permission). If you're almost a year into the ban then unfortunately there would be no viable option to appeal. In certain circumstances you can apply for your licence back early. Take a look at our website to find out how.

You’re a legend, I recently got stopped and arrested for drug driving… even tho I wasn’t smoking or being high at the time of stop, but I enjoy smoking time to time and I know they will definitely find cannabis in my bloodstream, what are the average costs of these type of cases? Because I really don’t wanna lose my license as I heavily relay on it and I’m unsure if I can educate my self to a level where I could bust the drug driving case

WAS PULLED OVER & swabbed positive for cannabis. What’s your best advice on this? I smoke 💨 daily

[@sethennis3316]

Yo man I don’t have any advice but just curious how that arose. I’m a foreigner from NY where I’ve been pulled over many times with my car smelling like weed not only did I not get ticketed usually despite my car having very illegal tints, no mufflers, and no valid inspection, the questions ended when I said I smoked weed the day before or I don’t recall when I last smoked or if I smoked in my car . studying law a practicing prosecutor told me how hard cannabis driving charges are in NY without an admission you’re good. It’s legal to possess up to 3 oz and an odour of cannabis doesn’t necessarily mean you were driving. I used to just smoke in my car while park enjoying the nice sound system I had and how comfortable my 10 year old Mercedes was to smoke it. It sure beats smoking outside in London, where I sometimes gotta walk away from cops I see while I’m outside smoking.

How long do the police have to charge you after they have your blood

[@m.a.j.lawltd1851]

Hi David. The police have six months to prosecute a drug driving offence. This does not mean they have six months to send you a notice but instead send notice to the court. You may then receive the summons outside the six month deadline. There are sensible steps that can be taken to minimise the risk of being convicted. I spend a lot of time in contact with the court 'pre-charge' in an attempt to stop them laying charges.

[@gorillaz308]

Nobody is defending driving whilst unfit through drink or drugs, the problem is that the tests only look for the presence of drugs in your system. To many people in this country are like you and have that attitude which is why decent people are having their lives screwed over big time. I hate drink/drug drivers but I can’t see the problem with having a joint on a night time and then driving the next morning…. No different than having a beer.

[@laflamethegoat7795]

Yeah, you don't get it. You can be completely sober, but get a roadside swab and fail the test. I've driven drunk and got away with it, I've driven sober and been charged. You're clueless.

[@LeeDrummond-pu9sv]

It’s all just a load of old b.s the drug driving laws. I can kind of understand some drugs maybe being to dangerous to be behind the wheel. Coke, ketamine Xanax too much Valium. But I can’t understand the cannabis one. You would need to be so stoned for it to affect your driving whatsoever. In which case you probably wouldn’t want to drive the car in the first place. If you are properly stoned you won’t want to leave your house that’s how weed works.
