Drunk driving arrests are down sharply after decades of aggressive enforcement, while drugged driving arrests are climbing.

Georgia now has more than 250 officers with special ‘drug recognition expert’ training.

But 11Alive News Chief Investigator Brendan Keefe discovered some drivers are getting arrested for driving stoned — even when their drug tests came back clean.  

Cobb County Police Officer T.T. Carroll: “You said you haven’t had anything to drink tonight?”
Katelyn Ebner: “Not tonight, no.”
Officer Carroll: “Not tonight, okay. One of the things we do is we ask people to blow through this thing, okay.”

Katelyn Ebner crossed the center line, and got pulled over on the way home from work. She works in a bar, and does not drink while at work.

Officer Carroll: “Blow real hard, blow ’til I ask you to stop — keep going, keep going — you can stop. Okay.”

No, she had not been drinking. All tests for alcohol came up empty. But the Cobb County police officer who pulled her over was not done yet.

Officer Carroll: “I’m going to ask you a question, okay? When was the last time you smoked marijuana?”
Katelyn Ebner: “Oh, I don’t do that. I can give you a drug test right now.”
Officer Carroll: “You don’t smoke marijuana?”
Katelyn Ebner: “I do not, no.”
Officer Carroll: “Okay. Well, you’re showing me indicators that you have been smoking marijuana, okay?”

“I didn’t realize that you could get arrested for something that you didn’t do,” Ebner told Keefe. “That never crossed my mind until it happened to me.”

Officer Carroll: “Watch your wrists for me, I don’t want to pinch you.”
Katelyn Ebner: “I’m going to jail for marijuana?”
Officer Carroll: “No, ma’am — not possession, unless I find any in your car. I believe you’re impaired by the marijuana you’ve smoked.”
Katelyn Ebner: “Okay, so when I do a drug test, I’ll be free to go, correct?”
Officer Carroll: “You’re going to jail, ma’am. Okay? I don’t have a magical drug test that I can give you right now.”

“Before you felt the handcuffs closing over your wrist, did you understand just how serious this was?” Keefe asked Ebner.

“I didn’t understand,” Ebner said. “As soon as I took that breathalyzer, I thought I was going home.”

The waitress spent the night in jail, had her alcohol server’s permit revoked because of the arrest. After four months, prosecutors dismissed all her charges — because the blood test came back completely clean.

“You had to spend months — and thousands of dollars —  proving your innocence,” Keefe said.

“I did,” Ebner said.

Officer Carroll: “When’s the last time you smoked weed?”
Princess Mbamara: “I don’t smoke weed.”
Officer Carroll: “You don’t smoke weed?”
Princess Mbamara: “No. Not at all.”
Officer Carroll: “Okay.”

The same thing happened to college student Princess Mbamara two weeks earlier — on Good Friday.

Princess Mbamara: “Wait — okay, hold on sir.”
Officer Carroll: “Just one second — Just give me one second.”
Princess Mbamara: “You’re arresting me!?”
Officer Carroll: “That’s correct.”
Princess Mbamara: “Sir, hold on one second. I’m complying.”

“I didn’t understand,” Mbamara told Keefe. “I was like, ‘Why are you arresting me? What did I do? I did everything. I walked the straight line, I touched my nose, I did everything you asked.’ I was like, ‘Why am I getting arrested?’ And he said, ‘DUI of a substance.’ And I was like, ‘What!?'”

Princess Mbamara: “You’re arresting me because you think I smoke marijuana?”
Officer Carroll: “I think you’re impaired by cannabis, yes, ma’am.”
Princess Mbamara: “Sir, I don’t smoke weed! Is there a way you can test me right now?”

Princess Mbamara was also jailed. She fought the DUI-drug charges for half of 2016.

“So the blood test comes back, and they toss the case?” Keefe asked.

“I remember my lawyer trying to talk about a deal,” she said. “I was like, ‘I’m not taking a deal. I didn’t do anything! I want more than just a deal — I want more than just dismissal; I want my life back. Can you reverse time? If you can go back in time, then that’s what I really want.'”

Mbamara’s toxicology screen came back and only showed positive for lidocaine — an over-the-counter local anesthetic used in transdermal patches to treat back pain, insect bites and other types of pain and discomfort. Lidocaine can be found in many other anti-burn, anti-itch and pain creams, lotions and medications sold both over-the-counter and by prescription under a myriad of brand names, including Aspercreme, Icy Hot, Salonpas, Preparation H, Gold Bond, Solarcaine and others.

Officer Carroll: “How’re you doing?”
Auburn Student: “I’m doing great.”
Officer Carroll: “Okay — Let’s just walk over here for a second.”
Auburn Student: “All right.”

Months later, it happened again to an Auburn University student.

Officer Carroll: “You’re giving me indicators that you have consumed marijuana, okay? So at this time, I believe that your failure to maintain lane was the reason for that — so you’re being placed under arrest for DUI, okay?”

The prosecutor filed a dismissal of the DUI-drug charge five months later: “Defendant performed well on FSEs (Field Sobriety Evaluations) and blood and urine were negative.”

Three DUI drug arrests — Three clean toxicology screenings — One police officer: Cobb County Police Officer T.T. Carroll.

Documents show Carroll is one of the best-trained officers on Cobb County’s legendary DUI Task Force.

Officer Carroll: “Well you’re showing me numerous indicators.”
Katelyn Ebner: “I understand that. But I can 1,000 percent guarantee you that I don’t do that stuff.”
Officer Carroll: “Okay.”

He’s a certified drug recognition expert — one of 250 Georgia officers who have gone through a month-long training course.

The DRE Evaluation involves a dozen observations that allow officers not only to pronounce a driver is on drugs, but to identify which of seven types of drugs are in their system.

Princess Mbamara: “How can you look at somebody and say marijuana?”
Officer Carroll: “Because of the totality of the circumstances and a lot of things — and there are involuntary responses of the body that we can observe that have suggested impairment of marijuana, okay?”

“He looked at you. He did this technique that he was taught, and he determined you were on something you weren’t on,” Keefe said.

“Yeah, unfortunately for me,” Mbamara said.

Officer Carroll: “Because he’s ingested marijuana — that’s what my training suggests, okay?”

Officer Carroll relies on his drug recognition expert training — but in these three dismissed cases, he did not do the full evaluation after the arrests. The standard protocol requires all 12 steps to be completed — yet, any police officer can make a DUI-drug arrest on fewer observations.

Officer Carroll: “If I establish probable cause, and I believe that based on my training, so that’s why I put the handcuffs on you, okay?”
Auburn Student: All right.

Katelyn Ebner: “Sir, I can promise you, I have never — please — I have never smoked marijuana.”
Officer Carroll: “Okay. Well, ma’am, you’re giving me indicators — several, several indicators — that you have, okay?”
Katelyn Ebner: “Okay, so when I do a drug test, I’ll be free to go, correct?”
Officer Carroll: “You’re going to jail, ma’am. Okay? I don’t have a magical drug test that I can give you right now.”

“But he just did the ‘magical drug test’ that resulted in your arrest,” Keefe said.
“Yes,” Ebener said. “They’re ruining people’s lives.”

Katelyn Ebner filed an Internal Affairs complaint against Officer Carroll.

Cobb County Investigators exonerated the officer and doubted Ebner’s innocence, insisting, ‘the marijuana could have already metabolized out of the blood.’

“When you brought up that you had a clean blood test when complaining to Internal Affairs, their answer was what?” Keefe asked.

“They said, ‘Yeah, we see this happen all the time. Um, the test results come back wrong all the time,'” she said.

“So the test results were wrong?” Keefe asked.

“Yeah, that’s what they said,” Ebner replied. “The test results were wrong, and also, if I had a urine test, it would have come back positive for drugs.”

But Katelyn got her own urine test the same week as her arrest — scanning for any metabolites that would still be in her system. The urine test was also negative for marijuana — or other drugs.

“This training is so powerful, that they believe they can detect drugs that a blood test will not detect,” Keefe said. “Is that surprising to you?”

“That’s extremely surprising,” Princess Mbamara replied. “That’s extremely surprising — because this is my life that they’re playing with.”

Last week, Cobb County’s DUI Task Force was awarded a trophy by Mothers Against Drunk Driving, and Officer Carroll was given a Silver Medal for 90 DUI arrests during 2016.

“He’s getting an award for just arrests,” Mbamara said. “Not even convictions. Arrests.”Mbamara said. “Not even convictions. Arrests.”

“And you were one of them,” Keefe said.

“And I’m one of these arrests,” Mbamara said. “So this guy is just stacking up on awards and trophies. On ruining people’s lives.”

“He’s getting praised for arresting innocent people,” Katelyn Ebner said. “I’m not saying all those people he arrested were innocent, but at least three of them were, and no one is doing anything about it.”

“It’s something that I’m going to have to carry for the rest of my life,” Mbamara said.

Officer Carroll got a promotion and a merit raise after a 2016 employment evaluation — which also noted most of his DUI arrests end in convictions or pleas. Supervisors call him the department’s ‘go-to officer when it comes to DUI-drugs.” He got top marks for making the correct arrest-no arrest decision on impaired drivers.

There’s no mention of the three drivers who had their DUI charges thrown out because of negative lab tests.

What is the Cobb County Police Department saying about all of this?

Commanders would not let Officer Carroll talk with us, but they stand behind the arrests. The department doubled-down on their assertion that the drug recognition expert is better at detecting marijuana in a driver than scientific tests.

The way I read the article was that it was a fault of the test itself. Or the drivers lied. But the drivers wouldn't lie, would they?

There was no test. The cop claims to possess magical powers that allow him to know when someone is high.

Only in at least three of the cases, his "magical powers" were wrong.

How many more were victims of this "psychic" drug war zealot had their lives ruined?

Or the drivers lied. But the drivers wouldn't lie, would they?

The three people featured in the article were all acquitted after their drug tests came back negative - after their lives had been ruined by this Miss Cleo LE prick.

Officer Carroll: “You’re going to jail, ma’am. Okay? I don’t have a magical drug test that I can give you right now.”

Oh - but his magical powers are enough to arrest this innocent woman and others like her?

But you don't give a fuck about that - cops are gods, and never to be questioned, right bobby?

His time in office so far would certainly indicate that.

One day while on patrol, a police officer pulled over a car for speeding in Colb County.
He went up to the car and asked the driver to roll down her window.
The first thing he noticed, was how hot the driver was! Blue eyes, blonde, the works.
"I've pulled you over for speeding, Ma'am. Could I see your drivers license?"
"What's a license?" replied the blonde, instantly giving away the fact that she was as dumb as a stump.
"It's usually in your wallet," replied the officer. After fumbling for a few minutes, the driver managed to find it.
"Now may I see your registration?" asked the cop.
"Registration..... what's that....?" asked the blonde.
"It's usually in your glove compartment," said the cop impatiently. After more fumbling, she found the registration.
"I'll be back in a minute." said the cop and walked back to his car.
The officer called in to the dispatch to run a check on the woman's license and registration.
After a few moments, the dispatcher came back, and said there are no warrants.
The officer then walked back to the blonde’s car.
As he stood there beside her driver’s door the officer suddenly noticed his fly was unzipped.
The officer quickly reached down and grabbed hold of the zipper to his fly.
The blonde looks down and sighs..... "Ohh no... not another breathalyzer......"
