Ed, recently in a story you said that a woman involved in an auto accident in which a man was killed was charged with DUI for using prescription drugs. I am calling about the law. There is a law for determining if you have consumed too much alcohol; I think the limit is .08. Where is the law for prescription drugs? The only way to know if you have any drugs in your system is to take a blood test. How can you tell if anyone was consuming anything if you can’t smell it on their breath? They should really straighten these laws out.

Prove It

If your eyes are glazed over and you’re slurring your speech and you just crashed your car, and I’m a cop, I might have a good idea that something’s up. And I might determine I have cause to arrest you, and a subsequent test might confirm my suspicion that you were whacked out on pills. Or something like that. —Ed. Note
