Chicago DUI attorney reminds you why you need a knowledgeable attorney

This Chicago DUI lawyer has posted here, here, and here about DUI’s based on marijuana.  It was a bit disturbing to be in court today and over hear the following:

Mr. State:                     She says she’s in college and this would mess up her future.
 
Officer Friendly:            I don’t give a (expletive).
 Mr. State:                     Well you know I had to ask you if you wanted to go forward on this
                                                one.
 Officer Friendly:            Tell her, if college is so important, perhaps she should only smoke the
                                               good stuff (you know the stuff that doesn’t smell)
 
Mr. State:                     Well (chuckling), what do you want to do?
 
Officer Friendly:            What is it? A roadside? Yep.  We can go forward.
 
Mr. State:                     That’s what I thought.

Funny, the defendant didn’t have a lawyer.  I guess she had watched enough Law and Order that she
earnestly believed that the cop, who arrested her, in the first place, would be willing to ask the state to dismiss 
the charges against her.
