Because of the wide range of substances covered under this law, there is a lot of room for error.  Police officers are trained to look for certain symptoms, but this is very tricky because each drug (illicit or medicinal) has a different effect on the body and different effects over time.  What complexes the problem even more, different people react differently to the same substance.  All this variance renders roadside undertrained detection by a traffic cop a glorified crapshoot.

What’s even more troubling is that the penalties for a DUI drugs violation in Pennsylvania are at the highest tier.
