your DUI defence lawyers must be pretty awful if they can't create reasonable doubt within .01 of a reading. do you ever charge UNDER .08 (if it's close?). do you ever get convictions on readings of .08 or .09? FSTs are NOT admissable here as evidence of impairment, BUT, they can be administered and entered as evidence to prove there were probable grounds to demand a sample.
All of North America has the same alcohol-related accident and death problems. The biggest tragedy is those are the toughest to get conviction on because police have difficulty establishing TIME, and DRIVER, plus the scene is usually chaos, which creates more opportunity for errors= aquittal or no charge at all. BUT, in a road block (of which we have many), they're prepared and waiting for DUIs. They can easily establish time, driver and perfect most of the pi$$y little details that are used to set guilty people free. SO like OFC said, a guy who hasn't really screwed up gets crucified, yet a person who destroys the lives of others walks. whadda rotten system.
and of course, the system is even better if you have a "get out of jail free card" (badge). In those cases there's NEVER a conviction cuz there's never a charge. a few years ago a city cop was smashed drunk to the point he's acting irrationally in a drive-thru. he gets picked up and driven home (like i'd ever get that lucky). afterwards, he goes back to get his veh., tries to drive home and gives his car a haircut on a parked flatdeck semi-trailer, and kills himself. Toxicology showed him somewhere between 2-3 times legal limit. Membership has it's privileges eh Md!

WHAT!! you been talking to my wife?! we're wondering the same thing. the room in a trailer just can't be beat. BUT, there's not enough room to haul all those toys on the quad deck (as the kids get into bigger quads). the combined room of the cargo trailer with a camper just might work. I went to look at a "toy hauler". basically, it's an 1987 22' travel trailer that's been gutted with a bed up front and all the appliances gone. it's got a cabinet built in that would make a great work bench and storage. it's still got room for another bed or possibly table. actually needs more toy room. lotsa windows too. and an ugly awning. so it'd be kinda practical for both sleep and hauling stuff.
but it looks really rough and extremely ugly. It's longer than i want it to be. it's not a proper toy hauler. the axles seem kinda goofy with no lugs. instead, you put bolts thru and onto drums. I'm really curious whether it would be lighter than a 16' enclosed Wells Cargo or Interstate type trailer. LAstly, the price is 1/2 of a cargo trailer, but it might be tough too sell later.
Ohhhhh, what do I do???

I don't think there's much of a "Brass Pass" on DUIs in Cali. Or at least that I've ever heard of. Speeding or other "piddly" things, yes.
Not even the DA (prosecuter) is immune. They pulled his car out of a pool one time. LOL. He had a bit of a problem. I think he had 2 DUIs during his career.
If you refuse a FST you immediately loose your license. Right there the office yanks it. It's one of the little things you agree to when you sign the DL44 (Driver's Lic. application.)

Confuscious. I would go with the Cargo trailer and get the kids Cots... Then you and the misses have your own space and the kids have their space. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Camper and cargo. thats the ticket man. I gotta say i ran into a couple crazy canadians. There is one feller from your area that rides a kodiak 450 and thinks he can whoop up on my. I laughed at him as did everyone else. and said dude you smoke a lil to much of that BC Bud your concept of Speed is a lil altered [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
