King George DUI Defenses
DUI and probable cause
First of all, the police need probable cause to make a traffic stop. They must have a “reasonable articulable suspicion” that you did something illegal.
Many DWI charges arise out of basic traffic violations like speeding or failure to signal. If the police can testify that they observed you breaking another traffic law (and you actually were breaking the law), probable cause for the stop is usually in the bag.
However, some DUI stops begin with the officer observing your vehicle swerving or driving erratically in some other manner. For these types of stops, it can be easier to argue that the officer didn’t have probable cause to make the stop.
Even if the officer had probable cause for the stop, he still has to have probable cause that the driver was intoxicated. This can be another angle for to explore for possible defenses.
DUI and proof of intoxication
To convict you of a King George DWI, the Commonwealth has to prove that you were intoxicated. This is primarily proven through a breath alcohol test, commonly known as a breathalyzer.
The Commonwealth must meet a number of requirements to introduce the breathlyzer results at your trial. Some requirements include: the equipment must be properly calibrated, it must be operated correctly, and the certificate must be completed correctly. We will definitely explore all these angles to see if any of them will provide a defense to your DUI.
What you should know about DUI cases in King George
In King George the prosecutor’s office is actually fairly reasonable on DUI cases. However the specific types of outcomes that might be possible are going to depend upon those unique facts that are only present in your case. So to say whether or not your case might be reduced or amended to something like reckless driving, that’s something that we can only really determine once you and I talk about the specifics of your case that’s pending in King George.
Our current judge in King George is Judge Reibach. I have defended hundreds of cases in front of Judge Reibach, and I have experience arguing DUI trials with him as the presiding judge. He is a former defense lawyer, which I think bodes well for defendants and gives us a fighting chance.
