This person appeared to need help rather than punishment!
While I agree that he did need help, it wasn't up to me to decide his punishment.
Part of me wanted to just have him sleep it off in his backseat, but with all the talk of people OD'ing on fentanyl nowadays, I figured it was best that he got medical attention.
After a breathalyzer and thorough field sobriety test (which seemed like a big waste of time cause the officers were literally holding him up for every part of it), they finally got around to putting him in cuffs.
Just wondering if you should have read him his rights? I don't know your law, but that looked very like a citizens arrest, especially as you took his keys and then passed him to the police. Might be worth checking the rules in your area.
Well, the driver actually turned off the ignition and willingly handed me the keys, however, even if I would have reached in and taken them out of the ignition myself, I would've been well within my rights to do so out of public necessity since he clearly posed a threat to himself and/or others.
And although a vehicle
could be considered a private domicile in some cases, I would still have the right to tresspass onto said private property if someone was in distress (which clearly he was)
That being said, you can pretty much sue for anything nowadays, but with even the most twisted of commie laws, I highly doubt any sane judge would bother to see such a case
