Karol Zawadski (36) pleaded not guilty to drug driving after being stopped for speeding at Gortinty, Carrick-on-Shannon on May 10, 2021. A roadside oral fluid sample tested positive for cannabis, leading to arrest and a subsequent blood test confirming cannabis in his system. The defence challenged the garda's opinion formation, but Judge Sandra Murphy found no prejudice and convicted the defendant, imposing a €350 fine and a one-year driving ban.
