I was smoking cigarette at the time--no way alcohol could be smelled on me--I wasnt drinking. A female passenger was totally drunk that is why i was driving her home for the boss. I had not slept and was extremely tired--passed field test.....took to station...tried blowing several times test was rated not failing or passing.....test was done improperly..they did not wait the 20 minutes I blew hard and could hardly get thru test....ws told my small frame and years of cigarettes i can hardly breathe.i did state i had 2 beers (which is true )early in evening....Thats all i ever have...i have a 4 yr old daughter to take care of. I feel my rights were violated. While driving my bosses car at apprx 3am (he cant drive – dui) I was pulled over due to broken light on the rear license plate.

I was not driving erraticly nor had I violated any traffic laws. The police officer gave no reason why I was pulled over. He asked for my drivers license and returned with a ticket for a supended drivers license. Since he never informed me why I was pulled over, I believe that my constitutional rights were violated and no ticket should have been issued unless I was informed why he was pulling me over.

The Officer probably found that you were suspended by running your license plates. Mr. Darden,

Police officer. He gave no indication as to why I was being pulled over. He took my license and later returned to inform me that my license were under suspension for not having insurance. I have no problem with the officer giving me the ticket. My problem is he pulled me over in the first place. I wasnt speeding or driving irraticly! I had my seat belt on as always!
