By “enforcing his 4th while on parole” he means “parolee is refusing a breath test while drunk driving on a suspended license”

Fuck that guy.

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

If he wasn't on parol, a good lawyer could get you off with a fine and a suspended license for a month or 2. Which sounds like a bad deal, but it's better than a dui.

Iirc, my uncle knows a lawyer who says if you refused a breathalyzer and pay him 10k, he will get you off.

No thanks, a little lotion and I can get myself off for free.

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

You are missing out. Find a good goth muscle dommy mommy.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 35 points 5 days ago

Oh wow. It just keeps getting worse the further you read.

I suspect we won't be seeing any more posts from this guy for quite a while.

🤦🏻‍♂️ I didn't even notice the date. Yeah, he's still in jail.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

He's traveling to the rec room everyday now.

The world is so unfair. When a drunk driver can’t operate a vehicle unsafely without getting harassed, you know we’ve gotten away from the founders’ vision for this nation.

/s

Fuck this person.

You mean when a free inebriated traveler can’t operates their conveyance freely without being detained

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 4 days ago

You're right! I'll have to polish up my vocabulary.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 25 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

You have a fourth Amendment right to protect against unreasonable searches and seizures. If you aren't maintaining Lane integrity, I.E swerving, then a search is not unreasonable. That's just cause. He has no argument here.

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Ya, but if you just don't take the breathalyzer no matter what, a good lawyer will get you off with suspended licenses. And unless you are shitfaced drunk by the time they get you to a hospital and they have the time to draw blood you should be sober or under the limit which again a good lawyer will get you off.

[-] GiveMemes@jlai.lu 5 points 4 days ago

Until there's thc in your blood (can last for weeks without smoking) and they just hit you with a different sort of dui.

[-] faltryka@lemmy.world 28 points 5 days ago

It occurs to me that this FB group might be self pruning negative feedback for their approach…. Nobody in jail gets to go get on FB and say “hey so that did not work team”.

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

Beyond that, I'm sure it's embarrassing as hell once they realize they were so thoroughly hoodwinked. No one wants to go back to the groups or boards or forums and say "it didn't work". They're likely to get drowned out by the idiots trying to find any fault in their approach (did you thumbprint in red ink over your wet signature at a 45 angle?).

[-] sxan@midwest.social 9 points 4 days ago

A lawyer. A lawyer might be able to help. Probably not, but it's better than asking Facebook.

[-] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 5 days ago

Ah yes, the Fourth Amendment right to drive a vehicle while intoxicated. You could argue that the Founders were referring to horses and buggies, but clearly the spirit of the law was that it should be legal to get intoxicated and operate any mode of transportation. We'll see how that airline pilot's case goes, though. I'm worried that his right to fly drunk will be infringed.

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Under the Fourth Amendment, police officers must have a certain level of justification before they can lawfully make a traffic stop or arrest you. In the context of drunk driving, the law requires that officers demonstrate reasonable suspicion for a traffic stop and probable cause for an arrest.

So technically, yes, the 4th amendment can be used as an excuse to not take the tests, and i encourage everyone to know their rights and to use them when possible.

They can and will still arrest you and once they do they can force you to take a blood test but that is going to take hours and you should sober up quite a bit by then unless you are very drunk.

[-] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

I'm sure this dui moron can clearly and succinctly explain to a judge why laws don't apply to them.

[-] nailingjello@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 days ago
[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Or only break one law at a time.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

If it's a private agency, I guess they can bill you. Maybe you can send them a stamp to pay it.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

I like to sometimes give them bad advice and tell them all their correspondence of crazy must have a fox stamp on it. They're starting to do it.
