We were unaffiliated with the department of safety (cops), they have no business being in our building unless it’s to drop off samples or for training. Cases are usually handled by prosecutors by that point, so if any defense lawyer got word that a cop was in there harassing us about results that would be highly unusual and they’d have a pretty strong case for tossing it due to tampering.
Absolutely, I think there were more than a few cars that ended up in the water where the occupant couldn’t roll down the window and the water pressure kept the door closed. That’s why in the 90s there was a huge market for window hammers and they had regular “how to get out of your car” PSAs. I think it was absolutely over blown and maybe only a few cases where someone died, but it was real.
