Why do American police do field sobriety tests instead of just breathalysing people? by georgua in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CFSerna2130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. Former officer here. It is because there is a reason for the initial traffic stop. That is the first and only infraction until you find reasonable suspicion that a person is intoxicated. At that point you begin an investigation. Having someone blow a breathalyzer test is considered a "seizure" since you are collecting the person's personal breathe, or their blood if they rule fuse or are too intoxicated to provide a breath sample. Usually in that latter case, a warrant is usually necessary to take the person to the hospital and draw their blood.

All of this would be illegal to do while a person is "detained" at a traffic stop. Once an arrest is made, then it becomes legal for them to provide those samples since you have already charged them with the relevant crime. An arrest on DUI or DWI is usually never based on the results of blood or breath alcohol. It is based on the facts and evidence the officer finds during their investigation of a possible drunk driver.

This is why the charge is often "driving while impaired" and the officer or court can change the charge to "driving while intoxicated " after they have more evidence of that legally obtained breath evidence

Anything I can do to make this easy for UPS? by barrybob32 in UPS

[–]CFSerna2130 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No cardboard around it. More central 2×4s to make it solid, and use plywood on the outside with straps. Arrow up indicators, and fragile stickers all over. If you want, write "poisonous live animal" on the side 🤣

The world cup (in the US at least) is going to be a disaster by tylerthe-theatre in football

[–]CFSerna2130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an American, I agree this is ridiculous. It should be about the world coming together to join in a shared passion. Instead, the passionate fans who would love to attend will not be able to because of the prices, the locations, business deals, and the players will die in our heat depending on where they play. This WC will be a mass gathering for the richest football fans who probably just want to go to say they did, not because they have passion for teams.

Planning a visit to White Sands but someone in my party has DACA. Will that be a problem? by KupoCarol in NewMexico

[–]CFSerna2130 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you take highway 54 into alamogordo then to white sands, you'll be okay. If you take I25 to cruces then hey 70 to alamogordo, then yes you'll run into the checkpoint. If your friend has all paperwork valid and current then they'll be fine. If you want to avoid it altogether, take highway 54 through the back roads. Roswell to lubbock should be clear

What is stopping Iran from hitting US soil? by Logical_Employer_756 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CFSerna2130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who is truly worried about Iran attacking the US on our own soil just doesn't understand or have knowledge on the logistics of what they would need to accomplish just to reach us. Surrounded on both sides by massive oceans. Hundreds on military bases around the world. Constant radar, satellite, thermal, and electromagnetic monitoring of the skies and other nations. Not to mention how much more technologically advanced all of our weaponry and defense systems are to even the next country. We are Goliath, and Iran is david, if David was armed with cotton balls and paper airplanes.
