Drugs vs. DUI

The world we live in today is full of choices. The moment we wake up we constantly are faced with choices such as what to wear, what to eat, should I brush my teeth, and whether or not to be on time or late for work. Inevitably, each choice has a three parts to it: reasoning of what choice to effectively go with, the cause, and the effect. Each part greatly curbs and shapes future decisions a person can come in contact with. However, what happens when an individual does not expect some variables?

Law enforcement officers usually plan on their main mission when first coming into the playing field to be that of protecting the public and serving justice. One can only assume that criminals would be the logical choice an officer would be protecting the innocent from. However, most of the cases that law enforcement officers come into contact with is that of alcohol and individuals driving under the influence of it.

Usually, alcohol is the culprit of a DUI charge, but recently drugs have been the common cause of individuals receiving not only DUI charges, but also that of possession. Law enforcement officers usually do not expect that the person that they are pulling over not only is under the influence of some substance and probably has the substance within the vehicle, but also what the individual is capable of doing on such a substance.

Drugs tend to up the playing field for officers and DUI investigations due to the fact of the type of drugs that are made available to citizens today. Ranging from illegal drugs to that of prescription drugs all of these various forms have different side effects and work with the actual genetic makeup of an individual. Alcohol though only usually slows an individual down physically and mentally.

Drugs are a tricky game and are considered illegal in every aspect especially behind the wheel of a motor vehicle.
