BJCC, Flying Lawyer
BJCC - the article was a quick "heads up" on how alcohol passes through the body. Perhaps you could show me an article that links current blood alcohol to urine levels? I think not.
Despite repeated attempts to indite me for something I haven't misunderstood, you both still seem unable to take onboard the core point. I understand the two offences perfectly well.
I make no attempt to mislead anyone. Just inform.
I just see no reason to bow down and accept bad laws.
They can be changed and often are. This (still to be implemented) law is malformed and unsound. Thats bad.
Parts of it (e.g. drugs) completely undefined. Thats very bad.
Testing for alcohol and drugs is subject to scientific change.
And testing can be problematic. Oh yes.
Why do you think there is no mention of what "drugs" and what levels?
My concern is that use of urine testing is unsound and is a blunt "catchall".
I repeat my example:
1) Drink one standard unit, wait about one hour, take a pee then test yourself - you will have no alcohol in your body.
2) Drink one standard unit, wait a couple of hours and then test, your breathe and blood will test negative but your urine positive.
Now answer me this: "Why is it a crime not to pee?"
The law is an ass!
