A specific situation which you think has already been decided could be taken up the "certainty ladder"and decided contrary to a previous opinion given at a lower "level of certainty".

You are correct...an AG opinion does carry a large amount of weight, though. It is important to remember that, as far as the law is concerned, NOTHING is certain, rather it is a sense of "probability" of being "certain"; a court decision being more certain than an AG opinion, an AG opinion being more certain than an opinion from Officer Deasey (sp?), Officer Deasey's(sp?) opinion being perhaps more certain than the officer you meet in the 7-11, etc.Technically, even Mike Cox can't make a for sure, without a doubt, no worries decision. The ONLY decision that really counts is case-law at the Michigan Supreme Court Level. Since there isn't any, well.. yeah... I know I don't want to be the test case to create some.
