40 ways to Fight a DUI
5 years ago, we posted a link to a story with 30 points a DUI lawyer may use to fight your DUI.
Now, we up that count by 10, and offer 40 Ways to Beat a DUI. The prosecution is changing, so defense lawyers have to change to keep up. Here are a few examples:
ILLEGAL STOP OF PERSON OR VEHICLE – a driver cannot be stopped unless the officer has a reasonable and articulate basis to believe that a traffic law or other law has been violated. Similarly, a person cannot be seized unless a violation has occurred.
Ok, ok, that’s a pretty common card most drivers will try to play at the time of the initial stop. But how about this:
FAILURE TO CONDUCT OBSERVATION PERIOD – Most states require that a driver be observed continuously for a minimum period, such as twenty minutes, prior to a breath test in order for the results to be considered admissible and valid.
And, even more obscure:
LACTATE RINGERS – When hospital staff use lactate ringers during the treatment of a patient, the hospital blood serum results will report falsely elevated, and therefore invalid, readings.
