    The comments in the video seem to be 50/50.

    What do you guys think?

    I wouldn't know what a methed up person would look like unless they were really jacked up.
    Dude seemed fairly normal to me.

    He talks too much. Way too much. Not saying he’s on meth, but he should learn how to shut up. The talking is what garnered suspicion.

    He sure looks like he's on meth and the cop said he thinks he's on meth.
    The problem I have is @5:16 the cop says his pupils are constricted but when someone's on meth the pupils are dilated, not constricted.
    Constricted pupils are a sign of opiates.
    Maybe the cop just misspoke.

    I knew a chick way back. Crazy Tammy. Mouth the size of Grand Canyon. Best way to shut her up was get her high. It was a slippery slope lol

    I saw that video the other night too. The driver doesn’t seem to be impaired, but his girlfriend told the cop that the driver had used meth two days prior to this. I suspect that he was pulled over without a legitimate cause (the LEO was on a fishing expedition), but I still wouldn’t want a tweaker sharing the road with any of my loved ones.
    I despise LEO’s who violate our rights without reasonable suspicion, and I despise dopers who drive and endanger the lives of others.

    two days he would of even pissed clean at that point.

    I don’t do drugs anymore but it’s no one’s business what is done on off time

    although adderal and coffee are both drugs, but they are for profit so it’s ok….

    I actually agree with your comment. My point is that i don’t think he was a danger to anyone at the point of the stop, and I do not believe that there was sufficient cause to stop him in the first place. I feel bad for the driver, but if he is using meth, he is more than likely using it on duty time too. Making the road a little safer is the only silver lining to this otherwise-unwarranted-detainment,
