He was playing happily with my long term boyfriend when my former husband said he was going to get him. I panicked and ran to grab him as he took him away I tried to get him and asked people to call 911. When the officer came my ex said I was drunk - I wasn't I was just panicked. He put a big flashlight in my eyes and told me to follow his finger at the same time my small child was screaming being taken away. He said "she is clearly impaired". No other test was given. my ex- is filing an emergency order to take my child based on this report. I was not arrested and he let my ex - a prominate Atlanta attorney take my child.

Could my medicine (clonazpam for panic when I knew he was on his way0 or my panic attack shaking hands etc have caused this? I was literally blinded by the flash light. What can I do? I heard you should never disagree with an officer in court.

I am involved with a DUI case (no alcohol) where the arrest was based on congenital nystagmus. Because the woman arrested used prescribed medications the prosecutor has taken the position that the nystagmus was caused by the medication and is therefore a DUI. Stupidity in law enforcement.
