- Crosby, Michael:
Although they are most often referred to as Òcriminal rights,Ó the constitutional rights that our forefathers imbedded into our Constitution were never intended to help guilty people evade justice. To the contrary, the Constitutional rights which many of the finest Americans have sacrificed their very lives for are in place to protect the innocent from the tyranny of persecution.
- Holleman, Boyce:
ow serious is DUI/DWI?
DUI/DWI is a serious problem. Thousands of Americans are killed each year in DUI/DWI accidents. Although many of those accidents result in the death of the intoxicated party, a significant and unfortunate number involve the death of "innocent" parties who were in the wrong place at a time when someone chose to drive a car while impaired. DUI/DWI is dangerous both for those individuals who choose to operate a car under the influence and for those individuals who are on the road at the same time. In addition to the severe physical injuries that may result from a DUI/DWI accident, there are also serious emotional and mental scars that may never fully heal for either the offender or his or her victims.
- Davis, Jim:
A drunk-driving offense may land you in jail for the night, but ultimately it can result in much more serious consequences, including loss of your driver's license, a lengthy jail or prison sentence, significant fines and a criminal record that will follow you for the rest of your life. Whether you are a first time offender or you are facing a second or third DUI/DWI charge, it is critical that you consult with an experienced defense attorney regarding your case.
With So Much at Stake, Don't Take Chances
Penalties associated with a DUI/DWI arrest or conviction can be severe. You may face several days, months or years in jail, depending on whether it is a first, second or third offense. In addition to fines that can reach into the hundreds or thousands of dollars and loss of your driver's license, you may face higher insurance premiums and a criminal record.
Loss of License and Drunk Driving
Losing your driver's license is something you cannot afford, especially if your occupation depends on it. If you have been charged with a DUI/DWI, you will face an automatic license suspension by the Department of Public Safety (DPS). Thus, after a DUI/DWI charge, you must act quickly. You only have 30 days to appeal the suspension or you will waive your rights to challenge the action.
- Coxwell & Associates:
A DUI charge that at first glance seems hopeless can often abound with
factual or constitutional defenses. For example, the officer may have
made an unconstitutional stop; a brief investigatory detention to check
a driver's license may exceed its lawful scope; an unconstitutional
roadblock may have been conducted; improper field sobriety tests may
have been administered; the officer may have given the tests
improperly, etc. The list goes on and on.
- Wayne Woodall:
How Police Officers Determine Intoxication Depending
on the state, officers are permitted to use a variety of tests to
ascertain intoxication. The types of analyses can be grouped into two
types - tests that require the suspect to actually do something (also
referred to as evidentiary tests), and tests where the suspect is not
asked to take any action by an officer (also referred to as preliminary
tests).
Evidentiary Tests Include:
- Blood sample
- Standing on one leg
- Touching nose
- Breath testing - blowing into tube
- Walk a straight line
- Horizontal gaze nystagmus test (HGN) - officer tests the amount of
eye-jerking in the suspect when an object is made visible to him or her
Preliminary Tests Include:
- Smelling of alcohol
- Unable to stand up straight
- Unable to walk properly
- Slurring speech
- Bloodshot eyes
- Poor or erratic driving
