Hello,

I was just charged with public intoxication on my california state university campus and the officer did not breathalyze, blood, or field dexterity test me. The report said that I had alcohol on my breath, person, and had bloodshot eyes. It was also 12AM. I told the officer that I was not drinking and that alcohol had been spilled on me. I was still taken to a detox facility for 4 hours.

The school wants to put me on probation which will be indicated on my transcript. The judicial system at the school prevents the use of attorneys, does not disclose previous cases (no case law to work with), and places the burden of evidence on the defense and has its certainty based off preponderance of evidence. Talk about a kangaroo court!

I am trying to prove that you NEED a chemical test to to prove someone meets the CA standard legal definition of intoxication- .08 blood alcohol level. Any advice?
