I’ve posted in the past about the increasing federalization of drunk driving laws and law enforcement procedures.  See Here Come the Feds and The Future of DUI.  But even I wasn’t ready for the latest development…

The U.S. Marines have landed…and are apparently manning "sobriety checkpoints" in San Bernardino County in California.  Yes, Marines.  Yes, civilian DUI roadblocks.

Latest Weapon: Scare Kids with Fake DUI Arrests

Posted by Lawrence Taylor on November 22nd, 2008

A few months ago I posted about a staged scene designed by MADD in which police officers came to a high school and falsely told students in 20 classrooms that one of their classmates had been killed in a drunk driving accident.  Before they were told the truth hours later, many of the kids "were driven to tears – a few to near hysterics".  See MADD’s Latest Weapon.  The newest version of this tactic:

[...] What is the single most important piece of evidence in most drunk driving cases? The Breathalyzer test. In fact, it’s the ONLY evidence of the crime of driving with over .08% blood alcohol. And it’s pretty important for the “driving under the influence” charge, too: the law presumes the defendant is under the influence if the test result is .08% or higher. Evidence just doesn’t get more important than that.

So, of course, the police are careful to preserve the breath sample, right? I mean, there may be some question later of whether the machine was working correctly; it would be a simple matter to save the sample so it could be tested again on another machine. And, hard to believe, but the defense may not want to just take the officer’s word that he administered the test correctly and that the test results were from the defendant.

Unfortunately, the breath sample is routinely destroyed moments after it is tested.

But how can this be? [...]

lawrence taylor has a hunch:

[...] Take a look at MADD’s 2005 Annual Report.   On their list of "Corporate Donors", six corporations are listed as "Platinum Corporate Donors" — that is, donors of $100,000 or more.  The first is a telemarketing company, DialAmerica Marketing.  Of the remaining five, three are carmakers planning IIDs in their models:  Nissan North America, Daimler Chrysler Corporation  and General Motors Companies (makers of Saab).  See The Truth About Ignition Interlock Devices.

Follow the money.

party time for 20+ uniformed lawbreakers on a saturday night! i arrived the way all people should arrive at a mobile police state obedience training center — on foot. please enjoy these brief audio selections of some notable contacts with the ruling class over the several hours of my visit. note that in no case immediately after receiving confirmation that i was “free to go” did i leave the checkpoint. this checkpoint was on the east coast, in a state where only one-party consent is “required” for recording of conversations. thug names have been bleeped out.

via DUI Blog, the tyranny bell rings evermore: Senate measure would ban lawyers from DUI advertising

Defense attorneys would be banned from advertising their expertise with drunken driving cases under a bill advancing in the Senate.

Sen. Rosalind Kurita, a Clarksville Democrat, successfully added the provision to a bill that would create an online registry of repeat DUI offenders in Tennessee.

Kurita says officials have a hard enough time convicting drunken drivers without lawyers advertising their expertise in the field and offering discounts to DUI defendants. [...]

next they’ll be lining ‘em up for skull chocks in garages — anywhere you need an object. every submission to the state encourages this sort of criminal wankery. think about it like a man.

even for the mad cow diseased, this one’s out there.

where highway tyranny’s concerned, “probable cause” is just an anonymous “tip” away:

A Wyoming State Trooper called in a false tip to an anonymous driving under the influence (DUI) hotline so that he would have an excuse to pull over and search a vehicle known to be carrying a large amount of cash. The April 7 bogus report has sparked controversy and led to the highway patrol firing Trooper Ben Peech, 36, last week. Federal officials told the Casper Star-Tribune newspaper that the fraud will have no impact on their efforts to keep $3.3 million in seized cash during the traffic stop.

instead of noting from scratch the details of an “investigation” designed to destroy lives for the health of the state, it’s much better for the “arresting officers” (correctly, in most cases, kidnappers) to play fill-in-the-blanks. i mean, of course these geniuses (and their victims) followed the guilty-as-charged playbook. tidily too!

dirty secret few outside voluntarist circles want to discuss: anytime a judge presides at a prosecution by “the state”, he has a conflict of interest. it ranges in scope, with the ultimate being a judge ruling on his salary (tax cases), but the conflict is always there. in an honest world such trial fixing would be scoffed into dust on proposal. lawrence taylor doesn’t go that far yet, but he raises disturbing issues that even statists will find uncomfortable to disregard if pummeled with them correctly. how to lose a DUI jury trial before you begin?

Simple: Have two prosecutors….one wearing black robes.

Has the media finally stopped swallowing MADD’s hysterical propaganda and started looking for real facts?

As I’ve written repeatedly in the past, a DUI/DWI case has degenerated essentially into a “trial by machine”.  If the machine says the blood alcohol level is .08% or higher, the law presumes him to be guilty — and at trial the jury will be so instructed.

So wouldn’t it be nice to know just what the computer source code was in this antique that determines guilt or innocence?

One attorney in Minnesota, Jeffrey Sheridan, thought so, and asked the court to order the prosecution to turn over the code for inspection. ”For all we know,” he said, ”it’s a random number generator”. The court agreed. [...]
