Are you required to testify in a divorce or custody battle for a friend or loved one?

We have seen well-intended friends and family work their hardest to unintentionally wreck a benign situation by losing all creditability by acting improperly on the stand, you see, sometimes the way someone reacts in avoiding the truth is registered in the mind of jurors as much worse than the truth. 

Every time on the stand-just telling the truth, regardless of how painful or seemingly damning it seems is the best course of action. People on the stand feel like the world is caving in on them, their amygdala  (which is the structure of the brain which motivates the fight or flight response) is raging, and that isn’t a good thing for a witness to be wrestling with while trying to account details regarding while recalling facts.

Lawyers see this in court every day. The prosecutor examines the witness and it seems like an open and shut case, people minds are made up about the facts… Until… The defense’s cross-examination begins and all of a sudden everything seems to be more understandable as situations are explained and intentions seem noble. This is whats referred to as the “cadence of the case.” Humans have a hard time letting opinion swing so hard in a way that isn’t accurate to intent or the situation and being the complex mental process of trying to swing the fact under their own power as a witness, which is end result is counterproductive.

We can explain many negative facts away, what we can not get back is credibility.

 

Here are some tips on how to be a good witness:

1. Tell the whole truth, Not part of the truth. Don’t exaggerate the truth.
2. Only answer the questions asked. Don’t get off topic, or you may find your self on the Judge’s bad side.
3. Look the Judge square in the eyes. The judge is normally the person you’re talking to if you’re speaking to a jury, pick three or so members and rotate eye contact between the members.
4. Don’t lose control of your emotions. While tempered emotions can be used to drive home your point,  out of control emotions will cause damage to your credibility.
5. Think positive. Don’t use this as a chance to take cheap shots, remember you have the floor and were looking for fact-based arguments to build a case from, opinions, aren’t worth much in a court of law.
6. Everything is being observed. Unless you have been trained as a spy, court officials are better than average at figuring out when someone not telling the truth.
7. It’s normal to confront the hard questions head-on. Nothing feels worse in court than leaving an exposed “gotcha” moment, especially one in which could have been avoided simply by mentioning it first.
8. Listen to the question carefully and fully before giving an answer. Watch for the opposing attorney to reframe the question into something that mischaracterizes the witness’ statements.
9. The calmest mind wins. We as humans act as amplifiers of sorts between us during normal interaction; in-that anxiety or panic tends to spread as well as being calm and level-headed, the most mature among us are typically look-to as anchors for the less experienced ones.
10. Always pause before answering to give your lawyer time to object. The judge will decide if it’s pertinent enough to demand further explanation.

A Montgomery County Lawyer Talks About Kratom.

It’s our opinion  that in the early 2000’s, The pain management Doctors of America started overprescribing many drugs, leading to whats known as “The opioid crisis.” Pharmaceutical companies also played a big part in creating the epidemic by marketing the drugs as safer than they actually are.

In 2017 64’000 people died from known opioid overdoses.

What we like about kradium is that it does not depress breathing, opioid drugs all depress the breathing.

If you see anyone overdosing on opioids breathing shallows until breathing stops. Call 911 regardless of the situation, (many co-users have watched a partner die because they were scared of the consequences) The truth is a co-user could be held responsible for manslaughter in letting a peer die as a result of non-action.

Call 911 make sure you tell the operator the responder will need Narcan and begin rescue breaths.

 

Kratom is an over the counter natural product that many opioid drug users say helps them come off the harder drugs. The DEA disagrees about its potential for abuse.

We have mixed feelings about substituting one drug for another, but some people feel it helps.  The problem is that in our opinion, lawmakers and the pharmaceutical industry helped create the problem in addicting thousands to dangerous drugs, now we have a population wanting help from whatever source they can find it, but the law of unintended consequences would make it available to all people including those who are not looking for relief, but looking to get a buzz.

Kratom comes from Thailand, and its also illegal there to buy, sell, trade or possess.  however, no overdoses have been reported in Thailand, however, some have been reported in the U.S. the data becomes complex in that every case of overdose, other drugs have also been present.

 

 

As of January 2018, Kratom is legal without restriction everywhere in the state of Texas.

 

 

No pertinent legislation pertaining to kratom is pending or in the planned to be put to the vote. This means you can currently buy, sell, and possess as much kratom as you like in Conroe without concern over legal ramifications. Kratom’s legal status in Texas is perhaps a reflection of the state’s adoration of personal freedom.  Texas legislation tends to lean more towards granting more rights than restricting people.

We are not advocating drug use, the jury is still out on if kratom will, in fact, be safe for long-term use. However if someone is dealing with opioid addiction, I would prefer someone to take legal methods of avoiding relapse, however, we suspect the window of legality might be coming to a close in the near future, and for that reason, we suggest people take this golden window of opportunity to learn how to live sober.

How it’s possible to be accused of DWI AND be under the legal limit.

We all know the legal limit is .08% as registered per breath or blood test, but urban legend says that some people have been arrested for a lesser BAC concentration, these lesser concentrations of BAC attribute to a small number of arrest, but we see them in the office from time to time and wanted to disseminate what we know.

Driving while not using whats considered normal physical or mental facilities while driving.

A driver measuring and admitting to only have one libation, but displaying the single drink is getting the best of him by interfering with judgment is at risk of being arrested despite only having a single drink and being under the legal limit.

 

Borderline BAC test.

Commerical limits for drunk driving are lower at .04, commercial drivers are expected to operate at a higher standard because of the added responsibility entrusted to them. Commercial drivers haul hazardous loads, and logic dictates that if someone is exhibiting poor judgment in one area, what’s to say the poor judgment isn’t being demonstrated in other areas? For these reasons a commercial driver even showing the slightest signs of impairment are given DWI’s, its considered a betrayal of public trust.

If an officer has a reasonable cause for suspecting the driver was over the limit at any point, for example, a man blows a .07 but states he was drinking at a bar over an hour away, the officer has the right to make the arrest and let the courts sort out the details.

Law enforcement assumes across all people that BAC drops by.015 every hour a person doesn’t drink, so a good DWI attorney will know the details of how to argue the specifics about this.

 

 

Zero tolerance

 

If a driver is under 21, the State of Texas had zero tolerance, any result over O.0 means they are legally intoxicated and can be arrested for DWI, this also applies to drugs, the under 21-year-old’s mind is not sufficiently developed in terms of judgment, so any judgment reducing activities such as drinking are seen as more than they can handle, because for a minor to be drinking it requires the breaking of at least two laws at the same time, many legal defences exist for such situations an experienced attorney will be able to present on your behalf.

NEW NONDISCLOSURE LAW PASSED IN 2017 GIVES “SECOND CHANCE” TO THOSE PREVIOUSLY CONVICTED OF DWI.

Montgomery county non-disclosure law changes are making it better for those accused of DWI.

In 2017 the Texas legislature modified the nondisclosure statute that effects citizens of Conroe, Texas-to provide better access to those previously accused of DWI, this action is an attempt to lessen long-term damage to job seekers criminal background checks to provide relief in the fiercely competitive job market. Before this modified nondisclosure law, if you pled guilty to a DWI, the conviction record would stay on your record FOREVER.

 

 

This law makes provisions for a select group to petition for non-disclosure which seals the conviction record to potential employers by removing the offense from available databases.

Several things could prevent qualification-

Five things could potentially prevent you from being granted a non-disclosure order:

• All person awarded the non-disclosure must be a true first offender.  Any conviction other than Class C offenses or any higher charge that resulted in a deferment would automatically disqualify the person from consideration.
• Second, the DWI conviction for which a person is seeking a nondisclosure must be a Class B charge.  Your blood Alcohol content had to be less than .15 at the time of test administration.
• You are also not eligible if someone other than you was injured.
• You can’t be involved in an accident at the time of the DWI.
• If all the fines associated with the charge are not paid in full. 

There’s also a waiting period

If your plea resulted in

• Probation AND an interlock for at least 6 months, it’s a two-year wait to file.
• If your plea didn’t result in probation and an interlock it’s a five-year waiting period.

 

How long does the non-disclosure go back?

The new law went into in 2017, and the great part is new nondisclosure law is 100% retroactive!

 

I think I May Qualify for Non-disclosure. What Do I Do Now?

Your criminal background may not be the ever-present ball and chain to haunt you it currently is. In many cases, experienced lawyers may have many options even if you don’t qualify for the new Second Chance legislation, residents of Montgomery county you might have options you’re unaware of.

Montgomery country non-disclosure laws are available to all that qualify, and it’s our opinion, it’s not that hard to see if you meet the eligibility requirements, call a Montgomery country lawyer today.

Lawyers are your best friend in time of trouble or your worst enemy, chose your lawyer wisely.

School zones add a special penalty enhancement that everyone on Texas needs to be aware of.

Keeping drugs away from school seems like a good idea to everyone.

The dangers of allowing drug dealers near children is self-evident, The Montgomery County District Attorney believes that the use and distribution drugs are the root crime that causes a cascade of other crimes, so protecting children from drugs is at the top of the State of Texas priority list, as it prevents delinquency and keeps the youth brilliant… At least that’s the intent.

Local woman arrested for marijuana near a school.

A recent example is a local mother allegedly speeding in a school zone. It appears the charge was upgraded as a result of the proximity to a school zone.

http://abc13.com/young-katy-mother-sues-after-alleged-rape-by-harris-co-jailer/3425908/

In Texas, drug-free zones extend 1000 feet from schools.

If you are stopped in a School Zone (Remember, 20 mph ) and you possession drugs, law enforcement will increase the charge to a higher level/penalty because of the implications regarding dangerous drugs and youth spaces. The special provisional enhancement charge increase isn’t limited to public schools but includes universities, arcades, public parks, youth centers and swimming pools open to the public.

 

Working definitions to know about drug-free zones

Schools are considered “drug-free zones”, in Texas if you are within 1000′ of such a zone, this specific statue is called out by the health and safety code Texas Health and Safety Code Section 481.134

 

1. Any location that is within 1000 feet of premises owned, rented or leased by

• • • an institution of higher learning,
    • the premises of a public or private youth center, or
    • a playground;

2. or any location that is within 300 feet of the premises of

• • • a public swimming pool
    • video arcade facility or
    • on a school bus.

Drug free school zones are a complex legal situation, one regularly argued that drug free school zones are manipulated by law enforcement by the officer lying in wait for the traffic stop until the person is near the school, then initiating the stop at the most ideal moment to give an extra card on the table to for prosecutors.  This is not the spirit of the law.  The law was intended to keep drugs away from children.  It was designed so that if a person was near a school to not sell or provide drugs to the children.  This specific situation violates the spirit of the law in my opinion. I have seen cases where an officer waiting just a bit longer to turn on his lights in order to make what should be a simple misdemeanor marijuana possession a state jail felony, or state jail.  It would not be uncommon for a person who smokes marijuana to leave it in an ashtray or somewhere in the vehicle  Schools Zones are everywhere.

Drug-free zone arrest is a trump card for law enforcement and prosecutors of Montgomery County, it also means the defendant has more at risk in the event of a jury trial, as this type of case has more nuances as tends to be complex.  There are defenses and issues that must be raised by the attorney you hire.

 

The AFT

Alcohol and tobacco are generally considered taxed in a special category known as a sin tax, so its quite odd that firearms, a precursor to an armed militia as spelled out in the 2nd amendment of the Bill of Rights would be included in their jurisdiction- we we asked our self, how did these two seemingly unrelated things end up regulated by the same government authority? and whats the extent of their authority?

 

The ATF could be more accurately be the called the AFTAE (alcohol, tobacco, firearms, arson and explosives.)

The AFT was once part of the federal Department of the Treasury,  however; as of 2003  it became one of the  agencies assigned to the federal Department of Justice. Once under the jurisdiction of the federal Department of Justice its mission was expanded to include explosives.  When the AFT was under the Department of Treasury jurisdiction it was also responsible for  a special class of tax, the “sin tax” previously mentioned pertaining its special jurisdiction. When becoming part of the federal Department of Justice it forwent those responsibilities transitioning to a more enforcement role.

Duties of the ATF

Alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives — seems like a normal day in Conroe honestly.

Most people know about the ATF’s history in the enforcement of firearms, in fact the AFT is the organisation that licences firearm sales since the implementation of the The federal Gun Control Act. The AFT is responsible for enforcing all federal firearms laws, including things like the well known Brady Act, which is the federal law that requires gun dealers to require background checks before firearm sales.

The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act- Is named after a national Hero James Brady who stopped the assassination attempt of Ronald Reagan by sacrificing him self.

In 2003 the bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms had the previously mentioned expansion into explosives and arson, ATF would be responsible for a mass terror attack by IED much in the way the  National Highway Traffic Safety Administration would be for a large scale public transport accident.  The ATF also investigates crime scenes, such as that of the Mandalay bay shooting, in order to detect the use of the materials used.  This information can lead

They would serve to act as a point of records, sharing with other branches of law enforcement records of sale and storage, import/export records, database management for people suspected of suspicious behavior. ]

Organised crime

Though less prominent these days, the ATF is still actively engaged in the enforcement of alcohol and tobacco laws. For example, organized crime groups engage in buttlegging, which is the illegal transport of cigarettes from a state with a low tax rate to a state with a high tax rate in order to resell the cigarettes on the black market. It’s an attractive type of crime because states each set their own tax rates on cigarettes. As a result, one truckload of trafficked cigarettes can lead to a profit of $2 million when resold in another state.

 

THC concentrate

Also know as wax, dabs, rosin, butane oil, hash and shatter are becoming ever more popular as the intensity of the high and ease of access are desirable to users.

Cannabis Activist In Austin, Texas.

Cannabis activists march on the State Capital in order to demand “natural rights,” saying its a right given by God to consume the plants of the earth and should not be infringed upon by the State. we can see the validity of this argument, but what happens when you condense the active compound into a cake of almost pure THC? I’ll tell you what happens – a state jail felony at minimum.

 

A marijuana cigarette contains a reasonable amount of THC – one-quarter of a gram of premium strength marijuana at a concentration 20%  THC smoked in a pipe translates loosely to about 10-20mg of THC in the brain.  With THC oil, that 10-20mg fits on a pin head. An experienced  dab user might smoke as much as 600-800 Mg in a sitting, enough to render a person unable to talk or to engage in any sort of normal social functions.

Why are dabs considered more dangerous?

THC has some natural checks and balances, when the body has enough people communicate it to the people around them, or just stop smoking. THC oil users bypass this step and introduce and super saturate amount into blood stream before the user has time to evaluate his or her mental condition. In a sense, its just overly efficient way to smoke THC oil, and as a result people don’t know how high they are until its to late to do anything about it.

The penalty group for marijuana possession is normally a misdemeanor (when found with less than 4oz); however, when concentrated in any form it’s at minimum a State jail felony, and a gram will get you a third degree felony.

It seems like a stiff penalty for pot, considering methamphetamines, and all the social destruction and death that surround that compound share the same punishment structure as THC oil.

The  punishment structure for meth is:

Possession of less than 1 g of meth	State jail Felony	180 days – 2 years	$ 10,000
Possession of 1 – 4 g of meth	3rd degree Felony	2 – 10 years	$ 10,000

The punishment structure for  THC concentrate  is:

Possession of less than 1 g THC concentrate oil	State jail Felony	180 days – 2 years	$ 10,000
Possession of 1 – 4 g THC concentrate oil	3rd degree Felony	2 – 10 years	$ 10,000

Literally the same punishment at the lower possessory levels.

The accuracy of applying the punishment schedule is called into question regularly, as wax is legal in Colorado at the moment. However, dabs are completely illegal in Washington, a state also known for its liberal marijuana laws. This inconsistency lends to the argument of how punishment is and should be applied.

Marijuana vape oil

Modern producers have found a use for the old waste product known as cuttings and are turning them into a product intended for vape pens that is commercially available on the internet. This class of product, because of the packaging, seems to carry a benign public image. However, law enforcement feels differently about it. This class of product is turning up in court cases more and more and has specific legal differences from traditional leaf marijuana.

We have it on authority that the Montgomery County police as well Conroe city police forces are trained in identifying this compound and have instructions to be looking for it.  It would be foolish to drive around with it in your car, as e-cigarette fluid is regularly tested for the presence of THC.

It becomes a game of definitions rather quickly. The Constitution codifies rights given to the individual. How those are expressed becomes is a game of cat and mouse with law enforcement.   Your constitutional right are expressed in written document sitting somewhere in Washington DC and or Austin, Texas.  They are just words on a piece of paper.  The prosecutors represent the State of Texas and since I started practicing in 1995, I have never seen a prosecutor come to me and say “Law Enforcement violated your client’s constitution rights, I am dismissing the case.  I have never seen a judge on his own initiative raise constitution rights of individuals.  The only person in the entire judicial system who stands up and gives words in the constitution meaning are the defense attorneys.  In effect, I and other defense attorneys are FOOT SOLDIER OF THE CONSTITUTION.

Let’s Talk About One of the Most Important Rights Defense Attorneys Can Raise!

 

The 4th amendment states clearly that “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. “ So in order for anything to be subject to a warrant, a process called search and seizure must be activated but the suspicion, that’s  why police automatically conduct a field sobriety test BEFORE administering any  blood demands.

 

This is how the 4^th Amendment Applies Breath and Blood Test:

In Texas, your drivers license is has some relationships between rights and responsibilities, in-that when you agree to the license, you agree to giving samples of breath and blood to be tested which provide checks and balances to the requirement of operating without prohibited substances are being met. However, a person may still refuse under the Fourth Amendment. Refusing to take a test, is what is known as a  “statutory option to refuse”  special conditions about demanding a sample exist  but ONLY in special circumstances including but not limited to DWI related accidents also have conditions that modify the refusal. 

In the past, if you refused to blow or give blood, your drivers license was automatically suspended (remember it’s a privilege to drive not a right.) Enter “no refusal” weekends stage right.   No refusal weekends are a bit of a misleading term in that you can still initially refuse the request of an officer for submission to the test; however, on this weekend law enforcement will be sitting by the phone with a direct line to the Judge who’s only responsibility at the time will be to issue such warrants.  Once that warrant has been issued, they can physically force the blood draw.  However, these procedures are highly scrutinized and an experienced lawyer can potentially keep the test and the results from being admitted under the right circumstances because the police and the procedures used violated your Fourth Amendment Rights.

Regardless of breath blood or initial refusal provisional rights to a drivers license might exist,  so its generally a good idea to get a free consultation  from an  experienced  Montgomery county lawyer that knows  DWI laws that can help you know your options.

Raymond McDonald, was nice enough to meet with us last week and answer some questions we have about his city council runoff bid candidacy.

 

Ray thanks for meeting with us, it’s been an intense election season, can you tell us more about the reasons you wanted to be on city council? Why would you put your self into this arena, It’s a lot of work?

Yes, it is a lot of work, and I have been ask this question quiet often since I stepped into the arena. I have known for some time that I would be running for city council, I just wasn’t sure when that might be. Two years ago I was sitting at the Lone Star Convention Forum with my friend and it was then that I knew I would be running. I met with a “coach” for the year preceding the election in order to prepare my schedule, my life, and my family for the run. Since moving to Conroe in 2000 we have seen our city grow and we have seen our family grow, as we adopted 8 children to go with our 3 older. I also planted a church in the Uptown District (North of Downtown) and found myself becoming very involved with the city, participating in the parades and such, as well as becoming keenly interested and aware of in and of the issues our growing city is facing. I think my love for this city, my desire to see my 11 children and 5 grandchildren all live and grow up here, fueled my desire to engage in a more prominent way. I also felt my previous background in construction, engineering as well as dealing with people and their issues, gave me a good base to work from.

What do you see as the biggest obstacles for the city in the next 10 years?

We’re building and our little city and seeing unprecedented growth, do you have a plan regarding the aging infrastructure?

Any big legislative changes planned for your term?

What are the city’s untapped resources you plan on growing?

1. No Probable Cause for the Traffic Stop

The officer must to have probable cause that a crime has been committed to pull you over, a complete and through review of the body cam and car cam videos is the first place to start, if it can be proven that there was no reason to stop you, a good lawyer can normally get the case thrown out.

You can’t be pulled over for being on the road at “bar closing time” and expect that to be reason enough to pull someone over and have that stand up in court.

2. Faulty Breath Tests

The DUI breath tests have many flaws. These tests are subject to some of the following problems:

A. Improper use by the police
B. Physiological Conditions (gastroesophageal reflux disease aka GERD)
C. Instrument Malfunction
D. Failure to observe the defendant prior to the test.

Breath testing is the most common test, but its not always accurate, calling into question the accuracy of the reading is a common legal (and reasonable) defense. Breath testing is subject to many outside issues that can generate erroneous readings.

3. Mouth Alcohol

The phrase ” alveolar air” is something not talked about much until the subject of breath test. Breath test are designed to take air from deep within the lungs, officers have instructions to make someone blow hard into the collection tube,  and this poses problems for accuracy if you have:

A. Dental work trapped small amounts of alcohol-soaked food in your teeth,
B. You burped or regurgitated, or
C. You suffer from acid reflux, heartburn, or GERD.

If the breath test captures “mouth air” rather than simply “lung air.” As a result, mouth alcohol can trigger a false BAC reading on a  DUI breath test.

4. Medical Conditions

Medical issues such as  heartburn or acid reflux, can contaminate DUI breath test results. . This is because these conditions produce a flow of acid that travels from the stomach into the mouth. When this occurs during a DUI breath test or just prior, the alcohol that travels from your stomach to your mouth disguises the deep lung air that the breath testing instrument is intended to measure. As a result, GERD, acid reflux, and/or heartburn can cause a falsely high blood alcohol calculation on a Montgomery county DUI breath test.

5. Diet

Conditions such as diabetes or an Atkins-style diet that is low-carbohydrate, high-protein, or hypoglycemia can trick a DUI breath test and result in a false high BAC.

Atkins-style diets and medical conditions such as diabetes and hypoglycemia are capable of self-producing isopropyl alcohol. This is because bodies that are deprived of carbohydrates turn to stored fat for energy. This process produces ketones. Ketones, when eliminated from the body through breath and urine, convert into isopropyl alcohol. Breath testing equipment, isn’t sophisticated enough to tell the difference in ethyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol causing false positives.

6. “Rising Blood Alcohol”

Rising blood alcohol means that your BAC was a higher level when you took the test than it was when you were actually driving.

Alcohol takes a certain amount of time, typically between 50 minutes and three hours, to absorb into your system. For example, if you had just recently finished drinking and were investigated for DUI shortly thereafter your alcohol may not have reached its peak absorption rate. When this is the case, your blood alcohol level is still rising, which can cause a false high DUI BAC result.

7. Montgomery County DUI Blood Testing Isn’t Always Accurate

There are multiple factors that could taint the results of your DUI blood test results:

A. Blood fermentation,
B. Blood contamination, and
C. Improper storage of your blood sample.

These are just a few of the reasons why a blood tests result might not be accurate. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the collection and storage of your DUI blood test, your Montgomery county  DUI defense lawyer may be able to have your BAC results excluded from evidence.

8. Field Sobriety Tests Are Not Accurate.

Texas field sobriety tests (“FSTs”) are not accurate indicators of impairment.

Even the most reliable  field sobriety tests aren’t accurate indicators of alcohol and/or drug impairment. The three tests that have actual data to support their trustworthiness are only between 60% – 70% accurate at detecting impairment and that is only if they are properly administered and accurately scored, which rarely happens.

Innocent explanations can also explain poor performance on FSTs. These include:

A. officer-induced intimidation,
B. poor lighting,
C. bad weather conditions,
D. uneven surface conditions,
E. poor footwear, and
F. un-athletic or uncoordinated driver

9. You Were Not Driving

The police must prove more than just that you were under the influence; they must also prove that you were driving.

For example, if you were involved in an accident and no one saw you driving the car, or if the police found you when you were in your parked car, it will be more difficult for the prosecution to prove that you drove. If the prosecutor can’t prove that you were driving, you can’t be convicted of a Texas DUI.

10. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)

Radio frequency interference or”RFI” can cause a Texas DUI chemical blood or breath test to produce an false BAC reading. This is because almost all electronic devices, are susceptible to electromagnetic interference.

Poliece departments keep a cache of devices producing these power electromagnetic forces, all capable of producing interference,

The prosecution may counter this attack in a Conroe DUI trial by pointing out that the machine has an RFI detector. The problem with these detectors is that they are simply unreliable. As repeated tests have demonstrated, there is a segment of the frequency band to which the detector is essentially blind. If there is a source of interference from a device emitting electromagnetic waves in this frequency range, it will not be detected.

11. Police Misconduct

Even if you were driving under the influence police misconduct might be a reason to get your charges dismissed. If we can demonstrate gross misconduct, it may be possible to get your charges dismissed.

 Things to look for

A. DUI police reports must be accurate,
B. Courtroom testimony must be truthful.

If these issued are intentionally manipulated, intentionally ignored or evidence planted or fictitiously made up, the case might be dismissed depending on how it damages the prosecutors case.
