‘The Drug Whisperer’ | Drivers arrested while stone cold sober
Drunk driving arrests are down sharply after decades of aggressive enforcement, while drugged driving arrests are climbing.
Georgia now has more than 250 officers with special ‘drug recognition expert’ training.
But 11Alive News Chief Investigator Brendan Keefe discovered some drivers are getting arrested for driving stoned – even when their drug tests came back clean.
Friendly reminder that it isn’t even possible to test if someone is driving stoned. THC is not an accurate predictor of intoxication the way alcohol is and it can be measured long after its effects wear off. Most people whose drug tests come back positive were probably not driving stoned.
This has nothing to do with road safety. This is just the racist ‘war of drugs’ bullshit by another name.
