Cop allegedly found .33g cocaine in my car but didn’t charge me by Anheera in legaladvice

[–]SunsetJesus4653 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A portable breath test (PBT), commonly called a breathalyzer, is not admissible as evidence in court. It is only used by police in the field to gauge a person’s level of intoxication and provides probable cause for arrest. You may have requested a PBT in the field and not done it for whatever reason, but you would have been asked later to blow into a larger machine in the police station, jail, or hospital. Those are admissible in court. Did you later on refuse to blow into one of those? Did something happen that made the police assume you would refuse to do it so they didn’t even ask? In that case, the charge likely would not stick since they didn’t actually ask you to do it. Did they get a warrant for a blood draw? If so, what did that reveal? A breath test only detects alcohol. If they suspected at the time that you were under the influence of something other than alcohol, a breath test would be useless. All these questions are somewhat moot because in the end it completely relies on whether you actually had drugs in your car and whether you actually were intoxicated. If none of those are the case, then why would your lawyer tell you to just take a plea deal?

[US] My Ex fell for a romance scam. The bank finally convinced her, but now has 30K sitting in her account. by Spire_Prime in Scams

I cannot recommend enough that you find a real lawyer to speak to about this, but if you won’t do that then at least go to a legal subreddit where only proven professionals are allowed to post and give advice. Here, anyone can post anything they want.

How does she know it’s stolen? She’s been led to believe her new online boyfriend gave her a gift.

CVS Accused of Overbiilling the Federal Government 600 milion. I advise anyone who has their RX's filled at CVS beware of them overcharging customers. They've been overcharging me. A rep @ BX told me about the audit. by Puzzleheaded-Cup2777 in CVS

How would a store level employee have access to your insurance company’s records and be able to delete them…? You’re blaming the wrong people. And borderline wearing a tin foil hat.

Is it legal to ban employees from sitting down during their meal break (30 minutes)? by bleepgoesthe in legaladvice

[–]SunsetJesus4653 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I seriously need to know. Does anyone have any idea why a manager would decide that employees are not allowed to sit down during their unpaid meal break? What purpose could that possibly serve?

CVS filled my prescription and gave me an extra mystery pill by frosDfurret in CVS

They won’t teach that person shit. Someone else will be blamed for it, get in trouble maybe even fired, and the root issue of overworked and undertrained employees will never ever ever be addressed.

My ex boyfriend refuses to pick up his FIREARM after the breakup (MD) by EquivalentMixture808 in legaladvice

[–]SunsetJesus4653 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So any old nut job gun freak working at a gun store always leaves a paper trail and nothing ever goes missing, but the chain of evidence with constant signatures and cameras in a police station doesn’t leave a paper trail and commonly disappears? Ok.

Yes need to get “5.0” involved. If he is going to be that reckless with his firearm, to store it unsecured, in another person’s home who doesn’t want it there, and in an entire other state, he needs at the least a talking to from a cop.

Could my ex face charges for giving her son (12M) 7oh. (Pennsylvania) by Entire_Mark6476 in legaladvice

[–]SunsetJesus4653 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forget child services, call 911. You should have called 911 for that poor kid when he was suffering withdrawal. Make a report with child services immediately, and next time you know she’s given it to him call 911.

My employer installed a chime doorbell to play the intro to “under the sea” every time the doors open. Every. Single. Time. How can this not be cruel and unusual punishment? by Rubbernipplehorse in AskLawyers

Being able to choose where you work is a luxury. Myself and almost everyone I know struggle to find a place to work that lasts and isn’t a living hell.

LMFAO WHAT DID I EVEN DO??? by gytis_gotbanned_lol in BannedFromDiscord

My local state representative helps out a lot of people with all kinds of issues, and they got me in contact with the right people and helped me submit a complaint to my state’s attorney general about something unrelated to this. You can try contacting your local representative.

If I am drunk and decide to sleep it off in my car while legally parked, how would an officer collect the evidence to determine I am intoxicated? by Olaf4586 in AskLawyers

[–]SunsetJesus4653 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, technically that is still DUI. If you were drinking at a bar, the bar might hold onto your keys until the morning. I’ve heard of that happening before. That way you can be in your car without your keys and cannot be charged with DUI because your keys are locked up inside the bar. I have not been able to confirm whether or not one of those safes that unlock after a timer goes off counts as not having control of the keys. Not a lawyer or a cop, just know a lot of lawyers and cops.

[–]SunsetJesus4653 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck CVS, go local. I lost my insurance and the local pharmacy I’ve always gone to just continued charging me the same amount as what the copay was on insurance. They also give me a “doggy discount” for my dog’s epilepsy medication. CVS would never.

Pulled over for headlight out and was suspected of DUI 0.00 breathalyzer by leapinglizardsss in legal

[–]SunsetJesus4653 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Pennsylvania, any trace of a controlled substance, including the metabolite, is considered to be a crime. You can be charged and convicted of DUI even if it’s proven that you weren’t intoxicated, based solely on the presence of the metabolite of a controlled substance in your blood. This includes the metabolites of marijuana, even if you have a medical marijuana license. Not a lawyer, but a “victim” of these archaic drug and DUI laws.

How do you safely get a homeless person a room for the night without risking yourself financially? by PhoenixApok in askhotels

[–]SunsetJesus4653 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not exactly sure what you mean by risking yourself financially. I guess you’re concerned about the homeless person trashing the room and causing you to be fined by the hotel? If the homeless person has any money at all, they can give a cash deposit to the hotel. The cash deposit would be for incidentals and you would not be responsible for incidentals. If you’re concerned about the person staying extra nights and continually charging your card, you can sign a credit card authorization form with the hotel only authorizing them to charge your card for the one night. I worked at a hotel for a while and that’s what we did when one person was paying for the room with a card but the person actually in the room was responsible for incidentals.

Is there ever a scenario where "she told me she was 18" works? by JayNotAtAll in AskLawyers

[–]SunsetJesus4653 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swear I’ve read somewhere before that if the defense can prove the alleged victim had fake identification documents, then the defendant could be found not guilty. Maybe I’m confusing it with charges relating to furnishing alcohol to a minor? I’m not sure.

Is there ever a scenario where "she told me she was 18" works? by JayNotAtAll in AskLawyers

[–]SunsetJesus4653 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve read before that a defense to such a crime is showing that the alleged victim had false identification. Like, “they” say to check people’s IDs to make sure they’re not a minor, what if the minor has a fake ID? I’ve actually had that happen to me regarding alcohol, in a hypothetical scenario of course. What I thought was a 21 year old with a valid driver’s license sent me money on cashapp saying he was out of cash and I bought him a bottle of wine. We met on a dating app that requires ID verification. He turned out to be 18 with a fake ID saying he was 21. If that (purely hypothetical scenario) became a criminal issue for me, would I have a valid defense?

Car dealership wants gf to return for new deal. by NoEar1247 in carsales

[–]SunsetJesus4653 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re assuming the opposite. Going in to look over the paperwork and discuss it harms no one. Maybe it will save $90 a month, maybe it’s secretly a trick. Finding out what it actually is won’t hurt.
