Noah Beckett and his friends are stupid. There is no denying that. They did a very stupid thing. The group often smoked weed and drank together, and it was obvious that Calder was the major pothead of the group. They also very much enjoyed reckless pastimes like lighting fireworks and exploring abandoned buildings, so generally they were pretty normal teenage boys. One night, while coming back from an informal concert that a friend was holding at their house, Noah was driving his Jeep a little risky as usual. The friend group had a very strong rule, which was not to drink and drive, so not only the driver, but everyone in the car was sober. In the back seat, Gabe said to him “I’m not even scared”, and he knew that Noah would take that as a challenge.

He indeed took up the challenge and slammed the gas towards a left turn. The friends felt the speed increase, and Noah asked everyone in the car “You like this?”.

Everyone in the car said yeah. Nobody thought this could end badly. He started turning left, and to Noah, everything looked fine. Then, the tires started to screech. Everyone felt themselves starting to drift to the right. The right side of the car started scraping the curb, but the strange thing was, it kept moving. Noah saw sparks coming out of the roof, It was only then that he realized that the car was upside down. The car managed to flip around off the curb and was now back on the street. Everything happened so slowly. Noah thought to reach the door and get out, because he thought the car had stopped, but the it kept spinning until the wheels were back on the ground. Everyone got out of the car and checked themselves, except for Noah, who took what seemed to be a very long amount of time contemplating his stupid decision. Thankfully, nobody was seriously hurt. Seconds later, a passerby asked if they were OK before telling them that he had just gotten off the phone with the police. All the friends looked at each other in shock, because of what just happened and because of the fact that they would have to confront the police about that they just did. Fortunately, they all were sober so there was no worry about DWI charges. They sat there for five minutes, thanking god that they were alive and that nobody in or out of the car was hurt, until the cops came. They came and they checked around for damage, but the only thing damaged was the car. They checked the trunk and were surprised when they found some things they were not supposed to find. Noah had no idea that Calder was carrying two ounces of weed in his backpack. He also had no idea that Jason had a couple fireworks in his bag. The cops found all of it. Because of that, they assumed all the teenagers were intoxicated. They had the kids all do a breathalyzer test, which they passed. Since there are no valid sobriety tests for marijuana, the cops decided to conduct their own test. They asked the kids a bunch of questions they would have trouble answering even while sober, such as what is thirteen times seven, and what is the capital of Wyoming. These were not the smartest bunch of teens, so you can assume the results of the test.

Because of their tests, the police concluded that all of these teens, especially the driver, were intoxicated from pot. They got locked up in their city police station for the night, where the police told them that the punishment for a DWI in California is a fine from $390 to $1,000 and jail time for up to 6 months. They needed a plan to clear their names, and they needed to think fast. Gabe had the idea of calling up their friends at Keller law offices, who are always happy to help. Within a couple of minutes, Max Keller rode up to the police station on his horse to save the day. He told them there is nothing to worry about and that everything was under control. Since they have no proof of intoxication other than an officer’s testimony, the case was pretty shaky. Just like breathalyzers, marijuana tests have many problems with their accuracy. We have faith that Keller Law offices can easily dismiss this case.
