Thread Name: BS: Beat the breathalizer?
Subject: RE: BS: Beat the breathalizer?
Accually, my problem isn't really with the cop. My problem is that along with the acusation, comes a presumption of guilt. Lets just say that the cop thought it was a good bust. The system that follows the bust presumes guilt not innocence, the degree or likelyhood of my innocence hinges totaly on the depth of my purse. If I don't come up with many dollars I will go to jail. In the mean time I can't drive in the state where I got busted, and I'm concerned about booking very much elsewhere, incase I am found guilty and have to leave town for a while. Mind you there is no evidence against me what so ever. If this was a murder case it would be plead down. There are mad mothers calling my house and making comments to me on the steps of the court house, when I was just tired at 1:00 one morning.
