Henry County Georgia Rapper "Nas" DUI demonstrates the fraud of Drug Recognition Expert techniques
nas.henry.county.georgia.dui.arrestThe rapper "Nas" was arrested in Henry County, Georgia at a DUI roadblock for DUI marijuana on September 10, 2009.  The charges were recently dropped when the blood test came back negative for marijuana. The police report stated, “Mr. Jones had a green tongue with raised taste buds and his pulse was raised to 116 beats per minute...eyelid tremors in both eyes and body tremors.”  The Police also reportedly smelled a strong odor of “raw marijuana.”  These are indicators used by Police Officers trained in Drug Recognition Expert techniques or DRE.  Blood test negative means that they conclusively did not work in this case.  Further, Nas reported failed the walk and turn test and the one leg stand. However, he had no alcohol or drugs in his blood test results.  The walk and turn test and one-leg stand are standardized field sobriety tests used to detect alcohol impairment by estimating blood alcohol.  As you see in this case, they don't work either.  The officer smelled the odor of raw marijuana but a search of the vehicle found no drugs.  The smell of raw marijuana is a common reason to justify the search of a vehicle for illegal drugs.  Two words: "Junk Science."
 
Tiger Woods Incident: Silence is a legal right guaranteed by the Constitution

atlantaduilawyer.tiger.woods.duiTiger Woods recent traffic mishap in Orlando, Florida after Thanksgiving brings out interesting issues on how to handle police DUI investigations after a single car accident.  Police are looking for wrong doing. It is that simple. When someone is looking for wrong doing, they usually will find it.  How you ask could Tiger Woods get in trouble for DUI?  Witnesses on the scene detected no odor of alcohol. This is true, but alcohol is not the only way you can get a DUI.  First, let's look at what evidence we have.  Tiger was driving late at night. Tiger hopped the curb on the wrong side of the road, hit a fire hydrant and crashed into a tree.  Tiger was on the ground unconscious when paramedics arrived and mumbling incoherently. 

We have driving.  We have clearly reckless or less safe driving. All you need for a DUI is the presence of drugs and/or alcohol at least under Georgia Law.  This brings up the point of this post.  Tiger Woods was reportedly taking prescription pain medication for a knee injury during this time period.  Rumors have been circulating that the Flordia Highway Patrol is seeking a warrant for his medical records which could include any blood tests administered at the hospital.  If prescription pain medication is found in his system, that is a recipe for a DUI drugs less safe or incapable of driving safely drug DUI under Georgia law.  I am not sure what DUI laws exist in Florida but I am sure they are similar to Georgia's DUI laws.

In closing, if you are in an accident and not drinking and the police starting asking about prescription medications, then tell them that it's none of their business and your medical history is a private matter.  If they continue questioning, invoke your right to remain silent and ask to speak with an attorney before answering anymore questions.  That is what Tiger did and he is currently facing an administrative fine for a traffic violation and not a DUI.

Court orders Prosecution to turn over Police Officer's Personal cell phone records during arrest
The New Mexico Court of Appeals recently ruled that Defendants are entitled to the personal cell phone records of police if used while the Officer is on duty, in uniform, in a marked patrol vehicle and during the stop, investigation and arrest of a criminal defendant.  State v. Ortiz, Case no. 2009-NMCA-092, August 13, 2009.  What is interesting about this case is the court up held the dismissal of the criminal charges based on a refusal of the State Prosecutor to provide the records in response to a discovery request from the Defense and not in response to a subpoena to the cell phone provider hold that a private cell phone used on duty by a police officer becomes a public information in the possession of the state.
