  4. Recognised #Clacton straight away on this #ITV report about #DUI and #DrugDriving

    #Essex #Police #RPU ( #RoadsPolicingUnit ) sarge seems to be taking fashion tips from Alexander Lukashenko , and lass nicked for #cannabis use behind the wheel doesn't come across as sharpest tool in the box..

    #Cops divulge how they check for minor #traffic violations as a reason to stop drivers for the DUI check (sleep deprivation caused by #drugs can lead to these)

    TBH wasn't expecting the #DPD driver to be positive as these companies tend to do their own drug tests, though he should really have been wearing his #seatbelt

  8. Overall govt statistics (or their methodology) also highlight #survivorshipBias of those from subcultures like the #rave scene who brag on #Facebook and other such places that "we got away with it back in the day" - firstly old bill weren't testing for drug use until the mid 2000s (and forbidden levels of specific #drugs were only set in 2015 in #England and 2019 in #Scotland) , and in 1990s there was a much higher level of general fatalities on the roads and less analysis of their causes by the #Police and HM #Coroner - which masked to some extent any effect #DrugDriving would have had on these figures (especially any RTCs caused by midweek sleep deprivation, which occurs some days after the actual drug use)

  9. "What it means is, you can be stopped at any time, [to] screen the driver, they say, for the presence of drugs. They're saying this will be a quick tongue swipe, taking just a few minutes, and that in itself is a bit of a hint. Since when does a 'quick tongue swipe' take 'just a few minutes'. So there's a bit more to it than that, presumably."

  10. #ChrisFowlie goes all through a list of false positives that can occur with the government's proposed roadside drug testing tech;

    "Speaking of going to the dentist, if you have some lidocaine you'll test positive for cocaine. If you're on a painkiller of some sort, you'll test positive for heroin. If you're on Ritalin you'll test positive for meth."
