Drugged Driving in Wisconsin-Is It Fair?

Under Wisconsin law, driving with any detectable amount of a controlled substance in your system is a crime. Even if there’s no evidence of impairment, if you have drugs in your system, your subject to prosecution.

But is the law fair? There’s very little reason to believe that there’s any correlation between some residual marijuana in your system and the safe operation of your car. Are we punishing people for endangering citizens or simply for using a recreational but illegal drug? This comes up frequently in the case of an accident and the consequences can be devastating. Causing an injury or death while having marijuana, cocaine or some other controlled substance in your system is usually a ticket to prison.
