    It hurts to think about how many of these cases they haven’t caught.

      After I saw that one of the officer palming a baggy and acting like they found it I thought: how could I possibly protect myself when they’re running a search like this? Scary shit.

        The only way is hidden cameras in your car that constantly backup to the cloud via lte. Which if that sounds stupid it’s because it is. You shouldn’t have to even consider shit like that let alone do it

      99% of people charged with DWI, plead guilty or may settle down for a lesser charge. Fighting a case like that is a lot of money ($5k-$10k), your average citizen probably doesn’t have a emergency fund. It’s horrible, and not only that, the cop who charges the person with a DWI gets a nice bonus at the end of the year. You can’t assure yourself that you’ll be in the clear if you’re sober; they might have insiders who mess around with your test results and make it look like you had alcohol/drugs in your system.
