Additionally, Michigan has expanded its definition of DRE so as to allow more departments to begin using salvia testing for marijuana.<\/p>\n<p>These tools are important because in Michigan you can be arrested for DUI because you are under the influence of alcohol or under the influence of drugs.\u00a0 If the DUI involves either drugs or alcohol, the crime is the same, and the punishment is the same.\u00a0 Michigan\u2019s Governor recently signed a law that creates a pilot program to explore the expanded use of saliva tests for drugs. \u00a0These saliva tests will be used by Michigan police in certain DUI traffic stops.<\/p>\n<p>Under this pilot program, Michigan State Police will select five counties for participation.\u00a0 However, in order to participate, the county must meet certain requirements. For example, the statute corresponding to PA 243, i.e., MCL 257.625t requires that the subject county have at least one certified Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) on staff at any level of agency within the county.<sup>[i]<\/sup><\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baronedefensefirm.com\/blog\/michigan-expands-definition-and-use-of-drug-recognition-experts\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading Michigan Expands Definition and Use of Drug Recognition Experts\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting in the fall of 2016, Michigan police will have a new tool to help them fight intoxicated driving.\u00a0 This new tool comes in the form of a\u00a0saliva test for drugs, and it will be used in conjunction with a Drug Recognition Expert, or DRE, to help Michigan police arrest for drivers for DUI.
