    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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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”.

      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?).
