When you’re dealing with police searches, it’s amazing how often people fail to think through what they leave in their vehicles. Whether it’s drugs in a bag marked “Definitely not a bag full of drugs,” a giant python, or enough drugs and firearms to set off alarms at any airport, some people are practically inviting trouble! This week’s Weird and Wacky is all about those crazy things police have found during vehicle searches. Let’s take a look at three cases where the contents of a car landed some folks in very hot water.

As your DUI lawyer, I’m always searching for information that could be used to challenge DUI charges. A new study published in Forensic Science International has caught my eye, and it could have major implications for how we think about drug-impaired driving.
This study looked at how different drugs actually affect drivers in real-life situations. The results are surprising.

After a magical week at Disneyland (which was a rare and much-needed break for me), I’m gearing up for a one-week course in Chicago. But my travels got me thinking about airports and the strange things that can happen when people get behind the wheel in places where they really shouldn’t—like on airport runways. This week’s Weird and Wacky is all about women who somehow ended up driving on runways. Coincidence? Or maybe too many cocktails on the plane? Let’s dive into these three runway-driving escapades.

Since the legalization of recreational cannabis, there’s been a wave of fear-mongering about its impact on road safety. But is there really a link between legalization and a surge in traffic injuries? A systematic review published in the Canadian Journal of Emergency Medicine suggests otherwise.

We’ve all heard it before: “Body cameras are the answer! Transparency! Accountability!” These buzzwords echo through the media every time another horrifying video of police violence surfaces. Politicians pat themselves on the back for throwing money at body camera programs, and even some civil liberties groups have bought into the hype, calling them a win-win for everyone.
But as a criminal lawyer who sees the inside of the system, I’m here to tell you: don’t believe the hype.

This week, we’re diving into stories of police officers who broke the law they were supposed to uphold. And if you’ve ever tried to Google “cop arrested,” you’ll know it’s a useless search term—after all, “arrested” pops up in nearly every crime story. But if you search for “cop arrested suspended,” that’s when you find the stories we’re talking about. Why? Because every time a police officer is arrested, they get suspended from duties while the case awaits court resolution. Here are the highlights of some officers who ended up on the wrong side of the badge.

As a DUI lawyer, I’m always on the lookout for information that could lead to false DUI convictions. And let me tell you, this recent study on auto-brewery syndrome, also called gut fermentation syndrome, has sent shockwaves through my understanding of DUI cases. The implications of this research are staggering, potentially turning our understanding of intoxication on its head.
What if I told you that your body could be producing its own alcohol, enough to potentially register on a breathalyzer test, without you ever taking a sip of beer, wine, or liquor? That’s the baffling reality that some people with auto-brewery syndrome face.
This isn’t some fringe theory. The study, published in the scientific journal Laws, highlights how scientists have known about the connection between gut health, diet, and internal alcohol production for over a century.
