My Observation Of Carrie Henderson

Most states that do not allow roadblocks for DUI checkpoints can set up administrative checkpoints to verify license and insurance (FreeAdvice Staff, n.d.). However, if an officer is asking for license and proof of insurance and discovers a person may be driving intoxicated they then can start an investigation to determine if the person is driving under the influence. During any checkpoint, it is imperative that each officer strictly follows the requirements set up by either their department or state. Failure to follow these requirements could result in suppression of any evidence

The officer stopped and made her perform SFST’s after denying she was drinking. After performing the test Cit Cat gave six indicators of impairment during the test. Cit Cat breathe sample was .078 and she was arrested under the Zero Tolerance DUI law. The police officer proceeded and searched Cit Cat’s car and found an empty Peach Amsterdam bottle in her purse. Officer read Zero Tolerance Warning to Motorist Under 21 rights to Cit Cat and at 12:50 a.m. she retested and her alcohol level was at .081. She was then sent to jail and charged with improper lane usage and illegal transportation of alcohol. She was later released to her stepfather on a traffic citation. Cit Cat went to court and the judge decided that she would be on twelve month probation with no drugs or alcohol, completes all evaluation/assessment/counseling or treatment supervision. Cit Cat violated her probation and tested positive for marijuana which she was sent to rehab. Cit Cat’s anger problem and drug addiction causes her to commit crimes. Her dad was an alcoholic so she has seen her dad cope with alcohol as a child. Her mother suffers from anxiety and is prescribed Xanax. Cit Cat has drunk before and tried Xanax which was around her childhood so it was accessible to her

SUMMARY OF THE FACTS: An officer from the Vista Lago Police Department pulled over a pickup truck belonging to Mrs. Atwater. The reason for the stop was because the officer witnessed Mrs. Atwater to be conducting her vehicle without her seatbelt on. During the stop, the officer also discovered that not only was she not wearing her seatbelt, but her two children were also not restrained with a seatbelt which is required by the State of Texas. The officer also discovered that Mrs. Atwater was not driving with a valid driver’s license, and failed to produce any type of valid insurance.

As I was explaining the test, he was swaying in a clockwise motion. Shawn then fell out of the starting position as I was demonstrating the test. After regaining his balance and getting back into the starting position, Shawn began the test. Shawn raised his left leg approximately “1” (inch) for three (3) seconds and dropped his leg. Shawn then lifted his leg again and immediately dropped it. Shawn then complained of pain and couldn’t complete test. I then terminated the test. Shawn was then advised he was under arrest for Driving while Intoxicated and placed into cuffs. The cuffs were double locked and checked for appropriate tightness. A search of his person was conducted and no contraband was found. The accused was then escorted over to vehicle #526, where I checked the rear seat for contraband, just as I had done at the beginning of my shift. Finding none, I secured the accused in the rear seat. The seatbelt was applied, the rear door was locked and I began my transport to police headquarters. Patrol vehicle #526 is not equipped with an in-car camera

According to police reports, Mr. Jonathan Hartshorn was involved in a single vehicle non-injury accident when the vehicle he was operating rear ended another vehicle in the drive thru lane at 1212 S Rock Rd. Officers were called to the accident and made contact with Mr. Hartshorn, who had moved to 1219 S Rock Rd. Officer Reser made contact with Mr. Hartshorn and detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage on Mr. Hartshorn. Mr. Hartshorn also had slurred speech. Officer Reser had Mr. Hartshorn perform the sobriety tests, which he failed. Mr. Hartshorn submitted to a breath test which showed a BAC of

On 6-5-2016 Edwin Roger was stop for speeding (51/35). Upon speaking with Edwin an odor of an alcoholic beverage was detected from his breath. Edwin agreed to conduct a field sobriety test. There were several indicators during the Field sobriety test to lead me to believe Edwin had consumed an alcoholic beverage. Edwin admitted to consuming some alcoholic beverages before operating a vehicle. Edwin was transported to Madison Township police department to preform the BAC test. Edwin's test results were .153. Edwin was arrested for 4511.19A(1)A and 4511.A(1)D. Edwin was transported to Lake county jail and given a court date of 6-7-2016.

Also one must look into some of the misunderstandings about defending a suspect who is accused of drunk driving. One of the main misapprehensions of being accused of driving while under the influence is an excessive margin of the people accused of driving while under the influence are guilty. In the majority of Dui cases like these, just a breath exam is used, not a blood examination, which is much more exact than just a breath exam. Yet still in the majority of cases the lack of effort and an even less amount of argument goes into cases which only involve a breath exam. This face can be because of the method is in state approved and a massive amount of law enforcement agency are obligated for the jurisdiction which is used by the agencies. According to a study that has been done on field sobriety tests, they are not given similarly time after time. Showing that most officers are conducting field sobriety test in the wrong/inconsistence manners. The field sobriety tests are normally assumed to be inconclusive for the reasons as the suspect/accused could have any known/unknown medical conduction that the officers could mostly likely mistake. For example, bloodshot eyes while driving and under the influence, but due to ones medical conduction could actually be caused by contact lenses irritation or allergies. Finally to concluded these misunderstandings on the No-Refusal law, that it is/could be a more effective way to have fewer unlawfully convictions only due to the required blood draw for a more accurate and effective reading of blood alcohol level instead of the breath test or other field sobriety test the officers might conduct. In a recent article in “russellfrostlaw” it states that, “Law enforcement officers across the state claim that the program

On Friday, February 27th, 2016 at approximately 2345 hrs while driving a Midland Police vehicle and wearing a standard issued MPD uniform FTO Vining and PPO Jimenez were facing a stop sing located in the 200 blk of West Florida when PPO Jimenez observed a white Ford F-150(TXLP-ICASH) made an improper right turn in the approximately 300 blk of West Florida. PPO Jimenez made contact with the driver who was identified as Manuel Galindo Garduno. Upon contacting the driver PPO Jimenez identified that Garduno had bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. PPO Jimenez was also able to observe a case of beer in the front passenger seat that it seemed to be opened.

(R. at 15). The driver “patently refused and started yelling” at Officer Dennehey, screaming things such as, “I don’t have to blow into that. You can’t make me take any test!” and “Fine! We’ll see who’s drunk.” (R. at 9 and 15). Officer Dennehey arrested the driver. (R. at 15). As she explained, “[r]efusing to take a breathalyzer is immediate grounds for arrest.” (R. at 15). Officer Dennehey told the driver that he was arrested for driving while intoxicated and continued following “standard procedure,” including frisking the arrestee “to make sure that [the person does] not have weapons hidden on their person. (R. at

Field sobriety tests are the subject of hot debate. On one hand, a motorist that's clearly over the legal alcohol limit will usually display characteristic behavior that makes them easy to spot. On the other hand, many of the field tests require skills that could be compromised for reasons other than inebriation. In fact, in a U.S. Department of Transportation study, no field sobriety test was 100% accurate. This makes it difficult to say whether these tests are useful or a detriment to motorist's basic rights.

Outcomes: Despite the short period of an investigation conducted by this study, improved scores on the balance test and measures (TUG, Tinetti, FFR, 6-minute-walk test) indicated that the patient’s risk for falls is reduced. She demonstrates good balance, good overall strength and flexibility enabling her to perform all activities of daily living (ADL) and intermediate ADL with minimal effort and decreased her fear of falling.

The first assessment was the Tinetti balance and gait test. DM scored extremely well and showed no signs of impaired gait or balance during the test and scored the maximum amount of points. On the Katz Index of Activities of Daily Living, DM scored six out of six points, which means she is completely independent on all of her ADL’s. In assessing DM’s assessment of home safety, I did find some potential hazards in her bathroom. Loose rugs and a low toilet seat can increase her risk of falls. We also discussed the possibility of obtaining a medical alert device when and if the time is right. She was open to suggestions and removed the hazardous rugs from the bathroom floor. The last test was the Barthel Index test and DM also showed complete independence and scored 100 out of 100 points. All the tests are itemized and noted in the

The motorist in the video Top 3 Sobriety Tests No. 2 aroused the officer's suspicion when her car was veering between lanes the highway. When stopped, the motorist seemed uncertain of what she was doing and where she was. "I don't know," she replied when asked how much she had to drink. She was barely able to put the car in park and seemed more concerned about tying her shoelaces than the test or her serious situation. Questions which often arise when determining if someone is driving under the influence are: "Does the person answer the officer's question or exhibit a stream of consciousness talking that bears no relation to the question? Does the person appear to be disheveled or unable to stay alert?" (Gaensslen, R.E., & Larsen 2010: 122). The woman in the video exhibited all of these 'red flag' signs. However, the officer's use of the field sobriety tests indicates that even when intoxication may seem 'obvious' it is still necessary to establish DUI with objective sources of information. The ability of the driver to perform the tests assigned

All of Carrie Petty's Lectures are filled with inspiration surrounding her motto, "Teaching People How to Grow a Beautiful LIFE!"

Firstly, the nurse has to explain physical exam procedure to the interpreter along with the client and then wash her hands. Privacy should be ensured. The nurse should position the client correctly and gather the equipment to perform the neurological examination. In this case study, as the client seems disoriented, the nurse should firstly take the patient vital signs; blood pressure, temperature, pulse, respiration, apical pulse, oxygen saturation and pain assessment. The blood pressure should be also taken in the legs to compare results as the patient’s toe capillary refill is greater than 2 seconds and is hairless. This is a sign that the muscles in the legs are deprived of oxygen and other nutrients . So, if one of the blood pressure findings are wrong, the nurse have to repeat it. Then, she can proceed with the Mini Mental Status Exam which can measure cognitive impairment and screen dementia in the old lady as follows: Where are you now? What is your name? What year is it? Where do you live? The nurse should also ask the lady with the help of the interpreter to repeat some words, some arithmetic,to name an object and obey her commands to check patient’s memory along with the basic motor skills. A low score will indicate the need for further evaluation. Then, she should do a glasglow coma test to check patient’s level of consciousness. Due to the unsteadiness of the feet, the nurse has to compares the right side of the leg to the left side. The nurse should test the Olfactory nerve for the nerve damage as patient has a foul smell, then the cranial nerve VIII: Vestibulocochlear should be examined with the Weber test and the Rinne test to check the patient’s sense of hearing as well as balance. After that the gait, tandem walking, Romberg test, rapid alternating movements of the hand should be completed to check the cerebellar function in the brain which is responsible for motor system. Then, the
