Initially, the devices were only used in DUI investigations in five Michigan counties, including Berrien, Delta, Kent, St. Clair, and Washtenaw Counties. During this time a little more than 7 drivers per month were tested.\u00a0 No information is available relative to number of Michigan DUI arrests that followed.<\/p>\n<p>The DRE officers in this pilot program used a device called a SoToxa Mobile Test System.\u00a0 This device tests a DUI suspect\u2019s saliva for the presence of amphetamines, benzodiazepines, cannabis (delta 9 THC), cocaine, methamphetamines, and opiates. As such it is only used to give a yes\/no answer to the question of whether a drug is present. The test does not give a number, or a quantitative drug level. Therefore, it cannot indicate if a driver is actually DUI.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baronedefensefirm.com\/blog\/more-police-officers-trained-to-use-roadside-drug-tests-to-make-dui-arrests-in-michigan\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading More Police Officers Trained to Use Roadside Drug Tests to Make DUI Arrests in Michigan\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are 32 new drug recognition \u201cexperts\u201d (DRE) qualified to make DUI arrests in Michigan.
