The real problem is they can **** quiz you and you never know how your
meds will show up on one of these crude field tests. We had a 72 y/o
guy here who was arrested for failing a **** quiz and in the end he
was totally innocent. The gas spectrometer test came back negative 3
weeks later. In the mean time his car was towed and he had to arrange
for a ride home., Even the cops suspected he was OK , at least to he
point that they didn't hook him up, they just gave him a DUI ticket.
Don't count on that. You probably go in the tank.

I've never heard of a "DUI ticket" Well, at least in the three
departments I worked for.
Ok, here's something to ponder.

I suppose it was really released ROR but the effect was basically the
same as a ticket, he wasn't hooked up and taken in.
He was still charged with DUI and his car was impounded.

Most places you can get a DUI for drug impaired driving. So taking a
prescription drug, or over the counter drug can get you arrested also. What
the field sobriety tests are for.
