You are welcome. It is part of what I consider my internet chores.
Only if you are 100% sure it will come back clean. Otherwise, I would forego that step. No sense handing the prosecutor any evidence of impairment.
The reason my instructor told us to do that is it is common for a rogue prosecutor to claim “physical impairment” in their prosecution, ie... he must have been drunk, he must have been high, etc. this is to protect you from this type of attack.... but, like you said, if you are not sure it will not come back clean, do not do it... and if you choose to do it, do not make it part of your diagnosis, just ask kinda under your breath...
911: 911, where is your emergency?
Caller: I AM the emergency!!
(Fellow barricaded in an apartment booby-trapped with black powder bombs, grenades & armed with an AK47).
It was an interesting conversation. :-)
However, if impaired chemically, I would hesitate to reach for a firearm in the first place.
That's what my pepper spray, club and tomahawk are for. =;^)
Reference Bump!
Wow! Just wow. Don’t leave us hanging!!! What happened? How did you deal with him? The poor soul ... As Doc Holliday said about Johnny Ringo, “He was just too high-strung.”
You are correct. That said, removing the battery will end any cell call.

If you put the battery back in, for instance, to call your lawyer, does it reconnect to 911?

Miss Magnolia you might know this answer?
That question is beyond my pay grade :-)
A month ago I had to call 911 for a medical emergency. At the ER I tried to notify my family of the situation. My Blackberry showed "911 emergency mode" and I was unable to dial out. Asked one of the EMTs about this, she just shrugged "I dunno". Punched up the phone mode menu and saw that I could turn it off. I imagine most smart phones handle it the same way.
Forgot to add the most important note. On the Blackberry the phone mode menu does not show the emergency mode options in normal use. It only appears after the 911 call is connected. Which is why I was unaware of it. Good idea to search phone mfr’s web/help site to uncover instructions.
