DUI/DWI Laws question…?
Okay, so I'm all for cracking down on driving while intoxicated, a friend of my dad's was killed by a drunk driver.

Okay, so I'm all for cracking down on driving while intoxicated, a friend of my dad's was killed by a drunk driver. However, I was wondering the other day... what if you're at a party and you're not drinking or have maybe only had one alcoholic drink, but someone slips some form of drug/narcotic into your drink before you leave to go home and as you're driving you start to feel the effects and are pulled over. If it is discovered that you do in fact have drugs in your system but you were completely unaware of it and couldn't tell at the time you got in your car, are you still held responsible? My initial thought would be yes simply because I am sure officers have heard that excuse a million times before. But are there any extreme extenuating circumstances for leniency?
If caught under the influence, you will be arrested. This is why we have courts though. If at trial you can convince a jury, you will be acquitted.
You have to prove this actually happened, which would be extremely difficult. Do you think some guy who tried to slip a narcotic in your drink is going to come to court and testify for you, and tell the judge the accident was his fault and not yours?
Interesting idea, but good luck proving it.
Yup; that’s a valid DUI. If you’re feeling sick or dizzy even without drugs or alcohol you don’t belong on the street.
Good luck trying to prove THAT LAME-O excuse in court.That will teach you to stay away from parties,all that are there are drugs and/or alcohol, sex and lot’s of trouble in the end son.
You will be prosecuted.
