Dui For Having A Card?

[upinsmokeguy]

I know the supreme court just ruled something about the michigan act supersedes the zero tolerance policy.  SO, can a coop take you in for a blood test or give you a ticket for dui having a card?  how does that effect us?

[Kingdiamond]

Only way you can get a DUI is if you are found to be impaired or under the influence possessing the card alone is not enough to get you charged there has to be clear impairment determined by the officer on scene. .

[upinsmokeguy]

And how would they determine if that individual was impaired?

Looking stoned smelling fresh burnt cannabis on you?

[trix]

Also wasn't there just a ruling on a case where, they have to show that your impaired by marijuana.. by visual confirmation of poor driving showing impairment, as well as road side tests to determine  you are physically impaired.. then they can request a blood test based on their evaluation to find out what the intoxicants are if not alcohol?

Dont keep your cards any where that leo can see them while driving!  they should never see your cards unless you are transporting mm to your pts or clones to your home, if they dont see your card and they dont smell any mj the should never know you have a card, unless they do an ilegal or legal search and than you show your cards, but you best make sure you are within your legal limit, Oh I know people get pulled over for the stupidest reasons so dont give them any ammo!

 

When I was in the many county jails in michigan, I was always the only guilty one in jail, every one else was innocent, man them judges and leo better quit arresting people who are innocent, dont ya think?  lmao

 

Peace

Make complete stops  don't weave down the road  and don't smell like fresh smoked herb ,, any of them combations is probable cause for a warrant for a blood draw,,

[solabeirtan]

So keep some breath mints handy, along with the Visine.  Old days I didn't leave home without the Visine...  paranoia? maybe ...

The fact is that there is no accurate test for impairment because it is negligible. Thinking back to the first time I used the stuff, I was golfing with some HS friends. On arriving home I was told I had a job interview with a family friend's aquaintance. My mother and aunt were in the car and I drove. At one point I asked where we were while crossing the old Third Street Bridge in Bay City, a place I'd been hundreds of times. It was a great time, AND I got the job. That was not the only time I was stoned to the bone at an interview and got the job. In fact, I think it helped. I can't begin to remember all the times I told police officers to have a nice day and went about my business.

There was the time when I had my lawyer in my car blazin' down one of the state highways and was pulled over. He about schit his pants while I talked my way out of the speeding ticket. It's a good thing he didn't, because he was sitting on the zip.

Having red eyes can mean many things. My eyes are red, and Visine will only make them worse.

Check your Michigan driver's license under 'eye color'.  If it says 'Red' then you are legal to drive stoned.

police are being trained in the difference between the smell of fresh and burnt cannabis.

Thus why I don't ever carry loose medicine on me its all in an airtight mason jar in my trunk.

And there isn't really a very good reason to go around smelling like burnt cannabis.

[Kingdiamond]

That should be common sense I try to not even be around anyone smoking when im out doing dropoffs to my patients just in case cannabis smoke lingers even on those not partaking.

The Michigan Supreme Court reversed the Michigan Court of Appeals and concluded that the MMMA’s protections supersedes the MVC’s zero-tolerance provision and allows a registered qualifying patient to drive when he or she has the presence of marihuana in his or her system, but is not otherwise under the influence of marihuana. The Court did not set the exact parameters of when a person is “under the influence;” however, the Court concluded the phrase clearly contemplates something more than having any amount of marihuana in one’s system and requires some effect on the person. Therefore, officers must be able to articulate facts that support a finding of probable cause that a registered qualifying patient is under the influence of marihuana in order to arrest a registered qualifying patient for violating MCL 257.625(8).

I don't drive with cannabis in the car,unless i am picking it up and taking it home.

Always use visine if it works for you.

The red eyes are a dead giveaway to leo that you are medicated,better to be safe than sorry.

Always wear a seat belt, and be careful to obey all traffic laws,you should be fine.
