If you are cited for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, these are serious charges. It is recommended that all people charged with driving under the influence consult with an attorney, and The Traffic Ticket Legal Center and Robert Shapiro is ready to take your case. But you must act fast, many states have laws that require you to take action immediately after your arrest to protect your rights. ROADSIDE SOBRIETY EXERCISES Did you know that roadside sobriety exercises are voluntary and are not required by law? This test is used by police officers/deputies as evidence in a case of Driving Under the Influence goes in front a jury in the court of law, to justify, the police officer will claim that he/she needed certainty that the driver was impaired to operate the vehicle. Whether you have been drinking or not, this test is difficult as is. The officer has practiced this test many times before as part of his training, but you didn't, and you will probably look impaired during your performance even if you did not drink. You must take in consideration that different scenarios can affect the result of your test: YOU: ask yourself if during the test you were: nervous or fatigued, wear glasses or contact lenses, had any dental services done that day, use of any prosthetics, have any pre-existing physical condition that could have affected your balance, coordination or speech during your test, among many others. PROCEDURE: you MUST remember if you were respectfully asked to do the test or coerced/persuaded to do the test by the officer/deputy, if it was conducted fairly, on a dry pavement, well lit area, or on a sloped side of the roadway while traffic was passing by, if you were involved in an accident with injuries, just to name a few, can result in your test been dismissed. If this is your case, the Traffic Ticket Legal Center and Robert Shapiro can prove the you may have been treated unfairly in the eyes of the law. THE BREATHALYZER TEST Also known as BAT (breath alcohol testing) is used by police officers/deputies to determine the level of the driver's intoxication. The breathalyzer test is administered to determine whether your blood alcohol level is .08 or above, this test is very reliable, however it is often administered improperly, leading to flawed results. If your breath test was not given properly, your reading is meaningless NO MATTER HOW HIGH IT IS. The refusal to submit to a breath or urine test for the first time can only subject you to a civil license suspension, and most likely the night in jail. However, if you blow into the machine and your breath reading is .08 or higher, your license will be suspended, and spend the night in jail. The critical difference is that if you blow into the machine you provide the police with evidence for a jury to convict you, and if convicted your DUI criminal conviction will remain on your driver's license for the rest of your life. We may be able to dismiss your Breathalyzer test if: PROCEDURE: you MUST remember if you were respectfully asked to do the test or coerced/persuaded to do the test by the officer, if you were told that you had the option to refuse, and that your driver's license would be suspended if refused, if the police officer is a certified operator to conduct the test, if the intoxilyzer equipment was properly calibrated and tested, if you had to keep blowing, or had to blow numerous times to get a breath reading, if you were observed for the required 20 minutes before giving you the test, all these can result in your test been dismissed, even better your entire DUI case to be dismissed. Under the State of FloridaÕs policy for DUI, .08 or above coupled with the voluntary roadside sobriety exercises provides for a likely conviction for DUI. However, you will make certain choices that can affect your future, many people pulled over after 1-2 glasses of wine will find themselves in a serious predicament which can have completely different outcomes depending upon what they say or do upon contact with the officer/deputy, therefore it is important that you consult with a lawyer whether if you are guilty or not ~ your future can depend on it!
