Do I have legitimate grounds for a lawsuit?
2016-11-12 2:17 pm
A few months at, my father in Louisiana was pulled over by an officer for erratic driving. The officer gave him a breathalyzer test and he a blew a 0.0. Now, my father is on several medications and has a pacemaker. He was slurring when the officer was speaking with him. Despite blowing a 0.0, the officer still arrested him for a DUI and took him to jail, rather than have him transferred to a hospital. My father even has a wrist band listing his medical conditions and a card in his wallet doing the same. While he was in jail that night he passed out and remained unconscious all night. While he was unconscious, they took a blood test(which was illegal because he didn t consent to it) and even THAT test showed nothing in his system that wasn t prescribed to him. He remained in jail for 3 weeks before we bonded him out, and 2 days later I came home and found him dead on the floor. The coroner ruled his pacemaker had failed. They had no grounds to arrest him and the signs were there that he was having a medical emergency.

This is a poor attempt at trolling. If you're going to troll at least make your story believable. Now go outside and play. The fresh air will do you some good.

All sounds a bit untrue to me. Lets look at the facts.
A few months at, my father in Louisiana was pulled over by an officer for erratic driving. The officer gave him a breathalyzer test and he a blew a 0.0. Despite blowing a 0.0, the officer still arrested him for a DUI and took him to jail. Why would he do that if he blew 0.0 like you claim. The officer would have nothing to arrest him for..
While he was in jail that night he passed out and remained unconscious all night. While he was unconscious, they took a blood test(which was illegal because he didn t consent to it) and even THAT test showed nothing in his system that wasn't prescribed to him. Cant be done no doctor is going to allow that more than his job is worth.
I came home and found him dead on the floor. The coroner ruled his pacemaker had failed. If that is true nothing you can do it's not the cops or the jails fault that happened..
in short if this story is true, you cant sue as you have no case to answer .

Just because daddy is on meds doesn't mean he is absolved when he gets busted for dui, which means driving under the influence.
He was slurring his words. This indicates something's up to a cop. Note: cops are not docs.
As far as a lawsuit - no. You can't sue folks for doing their job, and it's not the cops fault the pacemaker failed 3 weeks later.
___
For all the cops know, he stole that stuff. He appeared under the influence to the cops. He was also driving erratically.
And again: cops are not doctors.
Did your dad get his pacemaker checked regularly? You're supposed to. My boyfriend gets his checked every few months.
But still: no lawsuit. You can try talking to a lawyer but it won't go anywhere If the pacemaker failed, that's who you sue. Not the cops.

The way I see it:
1) He survived whatever "emergency" happened while the police had him. He didn't die while they had him.
2) He had already been out for two days when he died. You could have taken him to the hospital during those two days. You didn't.
3) The breathalyzer only detects alcohol. DUI is driving under the influence of anything that stops a person from being able to drive safely, including things that are prescribed and things that the breathalyzer does not detect. Blowing 0.0 does NOT mean that a person is not DUI. It only means that if they are DUI, then alcohol is not the substance that they person used. A blood test that finds only things prescribed to him does not mean that a person is not DUI. It means the exact opposite. It means that the person is DUI. A prescription does not allow the person to use the drug and then drive. It only allows the person to use the drug. Driving after using it is still DUI.
