My question involves criminal law for the state of: Tennessee
I'm 18 years old and have never gotten in trouble. Last Saturday I was driving home from my girlfriend's house. I ran out of gas beside a burning building in which a cop was in front of, I couldn't pull off the road due to my steering wheel locking up.
Before continuing I will make it known I had smoked some pot 3 or 4 hours prior to this event and I smoke frequently.
The cop comes up and I explain to him my situation, he asks me if I'm high, I tell him no. He then asks me to step out of the car and performs a field sobriety test on a declining slope which is the road. I let him know I smoked hours before and that I was sober. The declining slope I will admit it threw off my balance as I was nervous as well.
The cop handcuffs me and puts me in the car and then administers a blood test via my consent. I was respectful towards all officers throughout the excursion.
Do I have any sort of case? What do I do?
