> A judge who ruled against the city when it asked that the lawsuit be tossed wrote in her order that no forensically defensible blood alcohol test had been administered. Avina told me that two toxicologists agreed that while cannabis may have shown up in Peña’s urine, there was no way to tell when it was ingested. (Cannabis can be detected long after its effect fades.) Sounds like its he-said-she-said about the blood alcohol test. And metabolite tests for cannabis ingestion are useless for determining intoxication. So it sounds like there's no proof he was drunk and/or high at all. At the same time as a 50 year old GenXer I see all these "kids" (which is probably under-30 these days for me) riding around on various e-contraptions without helmets and I mutter various old-person shit to myself about how they're going to crack their head open doing that. The problem is though that the legal machinations here that the scooter company wants to apply are horrible and indemnify them against anything, even if the person was otherwise being careful and the scooter just falls apart due to poor design and maintenance. There's no common sense to be found anywhere here as far as I can see.
