If an officer causes me to crash my car, I can file a civil suit against him. But then if he knowingly and willfully lies on a ticket to try to cover his own a$$ - this is perjury. Perjury is a criminal charge from what I understand, and if I were to do this, then a prosecutor could raise a...
Fair enough - we agree on that. I believe it needs to be there, but I believe it needs to be adjusted to be fair to safe drivers regardless of BAC. Some people are bad drivers - even sober.
Close ... in addition to the fact that your presumed guilty, it allows others who are guilty and should be convicted to avoid conviction. I would say my argument is more of a civil rights discrimination thing. Not to mention that the breathalyzer test itself discriminates against many people...
I bet you support the illegal search and seizure of laptops coming across the border too. I know what the view is, and I don't believe it's in line with the constitution. Things change. Is there a law that says you can't drive within 48 hours of the smallest sip of alcohol? That's as dumb as...

The .08 Law. It basically says that if you have a really weak alcohol tolerance, you can get trashed and still drive, while people a really high alcohol tolerance can be .10, show no signs of impairment, and be guilty of DUI. It discriminates against people with a higher tolerance to alcohol...
what i've found out so far ...
So it appears I can
1) sue the city for enforcing an unconstitutional law as a violation of civil rights
2) sue the city also for an officers action which was standard procedure for his department but a violation of rights by a previous supreme court decision...
in CA there are the 2 separate laws - driving while influenced by alcohol and driving while over .08. i want to plea not guilty to both of them, and while i may be able to suppress the breathalyzer test, at what point can i say that the law itself is unconstitutional? i say its unconstitutional...
arrested
I was arrested and this law allows the police to use discriminating and unproven evidence against me. i looked up the numbers and over 100k people are arrested for one closely related law, and this law serves to convict them without the police having sufficient evidence to prove that...
I am in california and I believe one of the traffic laws to be against the constition, as well as discriminatory against certain people. I want to "sue" the state to have this law removed due to its unconstitutionality, but i have no idea how to go about that. I'd like to do it without a lawer -...
