On 04-24-17 at 2145 hours I was monitoring the radio and heard a broadcast of a possible DUI driver in the area of Hill Avenue and Maple Street.

The vehicle was also seen stopping at green. The reporting party last saw the vehicle pull into the 76 Gas Station at the northeast corner of Hill Avenue and Walnut Street.

I believed Ocampo may have been under the influence of an alcoholic beverage. I had Ocampo follow the tip of my finger with his eyes to determine if he had horizontal gaze nystagmus. I saw Ocampo did have horizontal gaze nystagmus and lack of smooth pursuit. I again smelled a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from Ocampo’s breath as he spoke. I asked Ocampo if he had anything to drink. Ocampo told me that he one glass of wine earlier during the evening at a restaurant, NFD. While at the restaurant, he began drinking the glass of wine on 04-24-17 starting at 2000 hours. Ocampo stated he finished the glass of wine on 04-24-17 at approximately 2100 …show more content…
I demonstrated and explained the test to Ocampo. I instructed Ocampo to use his right leg to begin the test. Ocampo raised his right foot off of the ground and immediately stumbled to his left. Ocampo stated he could not perform the test due to breaking his back in 2007 while riding as a horse jockey. I asked Ocampo why he didn’t tell me about his back injury earlier during the investigation. Ocampo shrugged his shoulders and did not answer my question. I asked Ocampo if he was still riding horses as a jockey. Ocampo stated that he is still a horse jockey and last round on 04-23-17. I terminated the above test for Ocampo’s safety.
The fourth and final test was the Nose Touch. See attached results. Ocampo was swaying approximately two to three inches from side to side during the entire test. I had to remind Ocampo six times to bring his arm back into the starting position once he touched his nose.
Based on Ocampo's objective symptoms of intoxication present and performance of the Standard Field Sobriety Tests, I formed the opinion he was under the influence of alcoholic beverages and was unable to safely operate a motor vehicle. I arrested Ocampo for CVC 23152(a)-Driving under the influence. I advised Ocampo of his obligation to submit to a chemical test. Ocampo understood his choices and agreed to take the breath
Franco was being treated by Emergency Room Doctor Greer. I saw that medical staff took a blood sample from Franco prior to administering him with an unknown dose of Fentanyl and Saline. Based on the above medications being administered to Franco, I was unable to obtain an untainted blood sample for his BAC level.
I arrived on scene at 17:10 hours. A juvenile was standing under the carport beside a white Dodge Durango. The reporting party, Kaella D. Barners (F/B, DOB: 05/04/1977), exited the front door when she seen deputies arrive. I approached the juvenile, Katera Edwina Barners (F/B, DOB: 08/29/2000). Katera was calm and cooperative. Katera had been upset at her mother. I observed an end table on the hood of the vehicle. I asked Katera if she put it there. Katera said she threw it there in attempt to damage the vehicle.
Described within the vignette is a nineteen year old teenager named Brandy. Similar to girls her age, Brandy has difficulties dealing with her body image and self-esteem. For instance, she experiences hopelessness, isolation, sadness, and anxiety that all contribute to Brandy’s acknowledgement of her physical appearance. She completely overestimates her body size to the point of taking dieting pills then defaulting to purging. During the typical day, the meals are scarce but healthy compared to a bad day full of unhealthy snacking. Lastly, her family predicament is not a supportive one at that. Her mother was obese so she constantly dieted while Brandy’s father illustrated signs of sexual interest although he never physically touched her.

A DUI offense is a serious matter and should not be taken lightly. In the state of California if you have a blood alcohol level of .08% or higher it is illegal to be behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. If you are pulled over you can be convicted of driving under the influence. California’s DUI law also includes driving under the influence of illegal drugs, prescription drugs, over the counter medication and drugs with alcohol in them such as cough syrup. Penalties for a DUI include license suspension, fines, jail time, community service, AA meetings DUI School, an ignition interlock device and an SR-22 filing. If you are under 21 years of age, California has a zero tolerance law meaning any amount of alcohol found in your system will be considered driving under the influence. You face having your license suspended for one year, additional fines, and must complete the educational portion of DUI School. If you are 21 or older on your first DUI offense you face immediate license suspension depending on if you take the chemical test, up to six months in jail, more than a $1,000 in fin...

The National Minimum Age Drinking Act was signed into law on July 17, 1984. This law was carried out at the federal level and forced all states to raise the minimum drinking to 21 or face cuts in federal-aid cuts in their highway funding. I believe this law must be repelled and that the drinking age should be lowered to 18. We must decriminalize the notion of underage drinking because why must 18 through 20 year olds be treated like children but charged as adults?

Imagine, a little boy sitting at home alone, hungry and scared because he doesn’t know where his parents are. Millions of children live this scenario every day because they have parents who abuse alcohol. Alcohol abuse is an addiction that affects everyone in the drinker’s life. Many examples of this are shown in The Glass Castle, Jeanette Walls and her siblings are heavily impacted by their father’s drinking habit and are constantly forced to take care of themselves. Having a parent with a harmful history of alcohol abuse increases the risk of child maltreatment greatly, alcohol use disorder creates many problems especially when children are involved so government should step in and remove children from that environment.
The National Institution of Health published this article for the purpose of explaining about the human brain and it’s relation to alcohol. According to the article, people with alcoholism have been known to have problems with skills in their prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that controls decision-making and emotions. These same people show exaggerated neural responses in the dorsal striatum due to alcohol-related cues. This information shows that excessive drinking can affect learning and control of behavior and emotion. This information can be helpful in my paper because it explains that alcohol is a disease that affects the brain and it will help me try to prove my point of view.
Jody was born biologically with male genitals and he was brought up as a boy. Unlike his more gender-typical older brother, Jody’s childhood behavior was considered “sissy”. Jody genetically preferred the company of girls compared to boys during childhood. Jody considered herself a bisexual male until the age of 19. At 19 years of age, she became involved with a man, and her identity would be transgender, meaning that Jody was unhappy with her gender of birth and seeks a change from male to female. It would seem that there was some late-onset dissatisfaction, and late-onset is linked to attraction to women; in comparison to early childhood-onset, which are attracted to men. Jody identified herself as bisexual. The relationship with the man ended; nevertheless, Jody’s desire to become a woman consumed her, and Jody feels that’s he was born in the
Once an individual makes the decision to get behind the wheel after consuming alcohol they are not only putting themselves at risk but the lives of other people on the road. After reviewing the Annual Report of the California DUI Management I was astonished to find that in 2008 there were a total of 214,811 DUI arrests (Annual Report). Of those 214,811 arrests I was sickened to find that 38,266 of the drivers were a second-offender (Annual Report). This means that these individuals have had one DUI arrest within the previous ten years. It is disheartening for me to discover that 26.4% of the reported 214,811 arrests are due to individuals who were second to fourth-offenders.
We 've got some low amounts that will get you a misdemeanor arrest and low amounts that will get you a felony arrest," Rizzardi acknowledged of Alabama laws. "All I 'll say is that somebody who uses a lot of marijuana or drinks alcohol uncontrollably and gets behind the wheel – let 's say at the corner of University Drive and the Parkway – my vantage point has to be the safety of the public in general first.

The first to advocate alcoholism as a disease was Benjamin Rush (1785-1843), and he even proposed that hospitals should be established to aid in the treatment of this disease (Cox, 1987). Since Rush, there have been many more definitions of alcoholism including the Statistical Abstracts (1979) account that an alcoholic is defined as ?one who is unable consistently to choose whether he shall drink or not, and if he drinks, is unable consistently to choose whether he shall stop or not. ?Alcoholics with complications? are those who have developed bodily or mental disorders through prolonged excessive drinking? (O?Brien & Chafetz, 1982, p.26). Further, Mark Keller of Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcoholism in March of 1960 stated that alcoholism is a ?chronic disease manifested by repeat implicative drinking so as to ca...
Driving under the influence is one of the most common and dangerous situations in which anyone can be or be placed. Drinking and driving is a serious offence that can cause someone to be physically harm or even killed. Not only are you putting yourself at risk but you are also risking the lives of passengers in the car as well as any other car and occupants sharing the road with you. Many people believe that increasing fines for drunk driving offenders will play a compelling role in cutting down the occurrences of driving under the influence. However, while harsher DUI laws will look effective on paper, they will not make a significant step in the fight against drunk driving. Although there is a law enforced for drinking and driving in the
