Sounds like that’s what’s been assumed on arrest then dropped.
Strange that his driving was erratic from the moment he got in his car that day.
All very odd.

I get the impression that there is a lot we don't know about this whole situation which will come out at trial.

 

[Parker Knoll]

Yes agreed.
It will all come out in the wash as they say.

We don't have field impairment tests in this country as far as I'm aware. I'm always amazed that the US uses them as they are really just pseudo-science which can be abused by officers. If someone is clearly impaired then they'll be asked to blow into a breathalyser and if they don't they'll get arrested.

Depending on his behavior at the time, it may just be the case that they arrested him on suspicion of being under the influence of something or other which they are perfectly entitled to do.

Drugs and driving: the law

It's illegal to drive if you're unfit to do so because you're on legal or illegal drugs, or you have certain levels of drugs or medicine in your blood

Yeah we do - suspect this is the reason for the initial arrest for drug driving.

Yes, very intrigued about the driving dangerously from his home address.
