GA 40-14-8 - GA 40-14-8

JUDICIAL DECISIONS Application to prosecution for driving under the influence. - City police officer's testimony that the defendant was exceeding the speed limit by 10 miles per hour as shown by radar could not be used with evidence of a positive urine sample to support the defendant's conviction for driving under the influence of drugs. Webb v. State, 223 Ga. App. 9 , 476 S.E.2d 781 (1996). No application to state troopers. - Although a defendant was only traveling 10 miles per hour above the posted speed limit when the defendant's vehicle was stopped by a state police trooper for speeding, since O.C.G.A. § 40-14-8(a) did not apply to state troopers, the stop was valid; § 40-14-8(a) only applied to county, city, or campus officers. Hayes v. State, 292 Ga. App. 724 , 665 S.E.2d 422 (2008)....
