New Jersey State Police Sgt. Marc Dennis allegedly mishandled the devices that determine a driver's blood alcohol content (BAC), the state's Supreme Court ruled Tuesday, according to NJ Advance Media.
The justices unanimously found that criminal charges pending against Dennis — who oversaw the calibration of the devices as a coordinator with the State Police Alcohol Drug Testing Unit — made breath-testing device test results from five counties inadmissible as evidence.
The sergeant pleaded not guilty in January 2017 to official misconduct and records tampering charges after he was accused in 2016 of lying about the Breathalyzer machines on official documents.
Authorities have alleged he skipped a required step in the calibration process.
State authorities, however, have maintained that the step Dennis allegedly skipped was one of several redundancies and fail-safes meant to ensure the readings are accurate. They claim that omitting that one step didn't invalidate the results, noting New Jersey is the only state that requires the step.
Dennis has denied any wrongdoing and has pleaded not guilty to records tampering and other charges.

Ah.....the police claim that he violated the law, but because OTHER STATES don't have that law, he should be excused and pardoned for his mistake.
ReplyDeleteYOU try that reasoning. The call me from your jail cell...maybe I will post your bond.
Equality under the law. Apparently, that is on for the serfs, "we, the people" - their bosses. Two Sets of laws are rocking like Led Zeppelin in that bastion of integrity and honor, New Jersey.
The rules? The law? Mere suggestions to the police. Weak suggestions at that.
And, It ain't just in Jersey......
Keep cheering....
