[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 814900, member: 484"] Jon.....Let me tell you a story, of an accident that happened here. We had a driver that clipped another vehicle. The UPS truck was not damaged, but drivable. The other vehicle left the road and turned over. WAY before the first UPS sup was on scene, the police had the EMS people take him to the hospital for testing. Mind you, he was not hurt. He was very distraught and nervous, and that was probable cause for the police to take him in. Remember, a policeman has probable cause if you move 6 inches or more within your lane. An accident if any severity is enough probable cause if he even thinks you are under the influence. After the sup got there, they went through the truck and found prescription pills. And yes, he had taken them for his pain. And yes, they charged him with being DUI. And yes, he no longer works for UPS. You have a fascination with UPS having reasonable cause, and that there needs to be two employees or more etc etc. You forget, the police on scene are not bound by your contract book, and all it takes is one person that makes the observation, and you are off to be tested. So if it makes you feel better to hide behind that security blankee, go for it. But for the rest that live in the real world, you better not depend on a contract book. Cops could care less. d [/QUOTE]
