It sounds like it will affect drug cases far more than anything else. Maybe, if we are lucky, this will be another nail in the coffin of the "War on Drugs". If the lab tech has to show up for each and every minor possesion violation, they will quickly become overwhelmed and unable to support this requirement.

Rick, I don't see how a rep from the company passes muster as a "witness" in a traffic camera case. Doesn't a witness have to be present to, well, - witness - the violation? Of course with the rules of "evidence" being wha they are in traffic court, it would not surprise me in the least to learn that witness requirements have been similarly corrupted.
