I work at a tobacco shop. And after they said I blown through a stop sign. When asked when drinking I said no. Then he said I smelled, and I quote, “of something suspicious”. I get cops get their paycheck for tickets and such but seriously has it really gotten this bad that for a ticket they try to make it something bigger? and ignoring my rights?

    Just got arrested for a supposed DWI even though I blew a 0.0000000. Don’t cops need to read your Miranda rights to you?

    Not necessarily, no. Miranda is required for:

    • Custodial

    +

    • Interviews

    If it’s one or neither, a Miranda warning is not required, despite what you see on TV.

    I asked for a blood or hair follicle test and I was denied. WTH is happening?

    Your state’s laws are gathering dust and your local politicians don’t care because they know voters don’t know or care. They’re busy litigating issues their voters care much more about, e.g. who should be allowed to play sports and go into bathrooms.
