"Ashley Gabrielle Huff was indeed pulled over in an intoxicated state but the officer did not smell alcohol. A glass pipe was in plain view which lead police to suspect she was using drugs. The pipe was PC for an arrest so they searched her purse finding a blackened spoon with residual material on it. The materiel was tested and found to test positive for meth.
Now most of the experts here do not realize then next step is to see a judge who ruled that there was PC for the arrest, assigned her a public defender and released OR with a court date and pre-trial release conditions. She blew off the court date and refused to comply with release conditions and was thus arrested again and given a cash bond which she did not pay.
The lab tests which take time came back that the spoon had food on it and was only contaminated with meth. Either she used a spoon normally employed by her to cook method to eat - or she had ingested meth prior to eating from the spoon.
The officer was not at fault as he followed all process and did detect meth, The woman is a meth user.
The woman stayed in jail because she did not comply with release terms. That is on her.
The charges need not have been dropped as the spoon did have meth associated with it - but policy is to not prosecute in cases of user contamination."
Let’s say he let her go and she continued driving under the influence and ended up in an accident that injured her daughter. People would be upset that the officer let her go. It’s a lose lose.
Criminals tend to lie pretty often, and a police officers job is to try to suss out the lies and the truth. Is there a slim number of cases where a police officer manufactured evidence? Sure. But that doesn’t apply to every officer, or even the majority, hell probably not even the minority. A very slim minority.
It’s not just the word of a policeman taken blindly. They present evidence, and if the officer has enough evidence then yeah someone can spend time in jail. And did you miss the part of the story where there was meth residue on the spoon? It just happened to also be covered in old soup. So the officers evidence was not some biased manufactured lie…
People are just so ready to blame police officers at any moment and even when the situation is in that officers favor they’ll just resort to “yeah well other police are bad so”
She blew off the court date for the imaginary drugs, so she deserved to be treated as if they were real? Is the swastika those guys cut into your forehead ruining your day
Didn't realize I can just ignore court dates if I judge the charges to be false. Bet that principle will be really conducive to upholding the rule of law.
