Each Santa Rosa DUI lawyer at our firm understands that laws related to safe driving must always be properly balanced. Of course, we all have a stake in ensuring that those who use our roadways do not present an unacceptable risk to the safety of others. Yet that overarching goal cannot be used as justification for any and all rules—a balance must be struck between the safety of the community and general fairness for those suspected of acting unreasonably at certain times.
Q: I have a serious medical condition, and my physician has recommended the use of medical marijuana to treat. But I’m on probation for a past offense, and my probation terms say I can’t have any drugs or alcohol in my system. Should I ask probation if they can make an exception?
