a friend of a friend of a friend got a dui in sacramento county. this person asked for a blood test and tried to say he wasn't drunk. but did smoke pot and drink alcohol. he wasn't thinking that the pot would show. (that's why they call it dope right? lol ) blood test came back at .31 which is 4 times over the legal limit. my question is.. which gives a higher BAC reading? pot or alcohol? with my knowledge of this person both alcohol and pot are used heavily everyday.

another question i have is where can i find the penalties for 1st offense. i know the standard penalties but will there be a stiffer sentence with mandatory jail without community service option because the limit was so high? and because this person was reported to 911 by a concerned citizen which is how he got the dui. (they never did pull him over but had the location of where he went so they went to the location where this person was already out of the car and inside the building)

please don't respond with what a loser this person is. we all already know he is an idiot for doing this and deserves max penalty. i say he is wasting money on a lawyer. how can you fight .31?
i want to know because one of my friends is soon to be highway patrol and we are arguing over who is right and wrong on some of the issues. one says calif. does not utilize special circumstances in penalties and one says this guy will be going to jail for a good period of time. and will not be allowed comm. service or restricted license and will have to do at least 18 months of classes vs. 4 months on 1st offense.

anyone know the facts on this? no guesses please. my dollars are at stake here-lol
