Synthetic narcotics spur review of drugged driving laws
In MINEOLA New York 18 year old Kristian Roggio rode in a friend's car when another driver veered across a Brooklyn street causing a fatal head on collision. The driver had inhaled aerosol dust cleaner to get high and prosecutors say impairment met vehicular manslaughter standards. The New York top court overturned the case because the chemical composition of the dust cleaner was not on the banned substances list, leaving the driver unable to be charged under drunken driving statutes. Law enforcement officials urge updates to drugged driving laws to cover synthetic and homemade drugs like synthetic marijuana or K-2 as they rapidly evolve and bypass existing lists. Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas calls the delay frustrating as these chemical drugs gain popularity among youths. Experts note these substances impair cognition and motor skills similarly to traditional narcotics, and while lists are sometimes updated the pace is slow versus evolving designer drugs.
