This is a strange one, Gardener. I wonder if the remains are those of a male or female?

We had an incident similar to this one in Australia recently. A man was pulled over for a random drug and alcohol test and police found the body of a man on the back seat. Driver said he thought he was asleep. Turns out he’d OD’d.

kinda O/T but police can just pull people over and demand sobriety tests there? or do they have to have some prior suspicion such as erratic driving?
