One thing you failed to mention was, the federal government (DoJ) has programs that provide additional funding to state and local governments for the more DUI arrests (not convictions) police make. So it's in a police departments best interest to have as many DUI arrests as possible to qualify for that free funding. As a result, a lot of police departments have contests, awards and special bonuses for the cops that make the most DUI arrests (not convictions). That's why you see stories about completely sober people being arrested for DUI. It pads the arrest numbers for free federal money and the cops have qualified immunity that protects them from civil litigation so they don't care if you are innocent and released by the DA or found not guilty. Cop pays no price for the arrest and in fact, most times, gets an award

@whiteorchid54127 күн бұрын
@@marcushaynes4216 There's another way to look at the situation. Depending on your location a big city or small town in most cases to the DA prosecuting your case you're just a number to them. Since many DA's are over worked with a huge case load and look at spending a few years as a prosecutor as a stepping stone to political office, their goal is to rack up a high ratio of convictions to number of case cases they prosecute. To accomplish that DA's frequently bluff and try to scare every defendant, even those they know are innocent to go for a plea bargain deal in which they plead guilty to a lessor charge so the DA can take a case they would rather not spend time on to prosecute and still get a conviction on it of some type to pad their performance numbers. However if the DA knows the evidence is weak and a conviction will be hard to get especially if you demand a full trial they get to a point where if the bluff doesn't work they would rather cut their losses and drop the charges on weak cases so they can focus their time on slam dunk cases with a lot of evidence where their odds of getting convictions are much higher. So my advice to you is to play it cool but be firm with your court appointed public defender, demand a full trial as long as it takes and tell them if you lose you will appeal. Start a journal or dictate into your phone always noting the date and time and take written or verbal notes . If your public defend complains they have other cases and can't represent you properly then write down their words with the date and time they said them so when you get to court you can tell the judge what they said and demand new counsel. That will add at least a couple months to your case in court while more and more cases back up on the DA's desk. At that point the DA will look at your case with weak evidence thats been going on six months to a year longer than all the other cases and be the one who has ran out of time and wants to make your case go away. Look up the name of the judge in your case. Here in LA there're web sites for attorneys where other attorney's who have experience with different judges describe wether the judge is fair or a major ass hole. If you get a hanging judge you can file at least one challenge to get your case reassigned to another judge. Instruct your attorney to file all types of motions to get a change of venue, suppress evidence, to get the disciplinary records of the police officers involved to see if they have a record of perjury, weighting false police reports or racism. Put all your requests in writing to create a paper trail. Become a thorn in their side consuming all the prosecutors time so they can't work on the cases where they can get convictions. Chances are the DA will be more upset at the police officers that brought them such a weak BS case rather than be mad at you and dismiss the case just to be rid of you!

So they want to build up a record of convictions as quickly as possible.

Whenever I smoke, the corridor starts to smell and the cops were walking past one day and noticed. I know i shouldn’t have answered the door but I felt like I was caught and tried to do anything to lessen the blow. I live in Kansas at the moment and it’s not legal at all here so would this fall under exigent circumstances?

I once spatted a car driving erratically. When I gave the dispatcher the license plate number number she said, "Wait, that's a cop car." I told her I could see that it was a cop car. I honestly did not believe the cop was drunk, I thought he was in trouble medically speaking. The dispatcher asked the cop to pull over, stating that the car behind him needed to speak with him. So the cop pulled over. With 911 on speaker I walked up and asked him if he was okay. And when he answered I could smell the alcohol quite clearly. The dispatcher already had LEO's on the way (CHP) so when I asked the cop, "Man, have you been drinking?" this was a signal to the dispatcher that I could smell alcohol. About this time the CHP rolled up and I thought they would take over, but for whatever reason the CHP wanted me to perform a citizens arrest on the cop. Looking back this was a really stupid thing for me to do, but I still trusted the police at this time. The cop ended up pleading guilty (I think he was 3 times the legal limit) so I didn't have any liability. But I effectively pulled over a cop and performed a DUI arrest on him. While it was cool at the time, it's not something I'd ever want to do again. Apparently this particular cop was a problem and they were looking for a way to get rid of him. I just provided the way.

This is why I have a problem with the entire justice system. In the military generally (not always) we judged by understanding the intent of the law, regulations. Not how we can exploit it to get what we want. In fact, if it is found that a senior person charged an individual for a disingenuous agenda, it can go very badly for the senior. Well, it was like that when I served. This cop in Dallas already gets paid to keep the peace. He notices a man doing the right thing by waiting for a ride while intoxicated. I stead of keeping him company and helping, he destroyed his life. That is evil, and the cop, the DA, and judges, needs to face the piper. All three are exploiters for greed, Mammon, even though they are already paid by tax dollars.

I grew up with cops and I was always told that a Cops Job is to put people in jail! Period. They do not care about the circumstances. I was arrested for admitting I had a drink, I passed field test and my tox level-0.03. I won the case but it took me 2 years to get charges dropped. Legal fees = 10k. Never admit to drinking anything, not even water. Cop said - you said you had been drinking-you go to jail. Cops are not your friends. I again grew up with several cops and even though they are my childhood friends, they have told me that if they ever pull me over-they are not my friend.

“More likely than not” wouldn’t be enough to attain the level of “probable cause” or “reasonable cause to believe a crime was committed”, at least in NY. Though more likely than not is a good explanation of “preponderance of the evidence”. As a LEO and drug court officer I’ve dealt a lot with drunk and drugged drivers and the most people talk themselves into the arrest. Just as a side note a portable breath analyzer can be used in court, at least in NY, to demonstrate a preponderance of alcohol consumption, though it absolutely doesn’t hold the same weight at a station breath analyzer; we would as standard practice calibrate the portable unit at the start and end of a shift, the station unit would be calibrated before and after a every test. As a LEO I’ve given a lot of field sobriety tests and would never participate in one as they’re too subjective. I’d also point out that a CDL comes with lower standards than 0.08%, especially when a commercial vehicle is being operated. One other thing to note, in NY, a test over 0.08% is an automatic DWI suspension; while a refusal is also a suspension offense it doesn’t in and of itself demonstrate guilt and ultimately will end automatically after the suspension period. A DWI suspension is different and will extend from the date of the sample through the trial process and beyond the verdict.

As for the vehicle still being on private property, nope. The law makes no such distinction. Hypothetically, you could own a large enough ranch to go dirt biking with you and your buddies. Since the cops can pass into "open fields" on your land, they could, if you'd been raising your personal "octane" with a few brewskis, stop and investigate for DUI. on your PRIVATE property, operating an off-road vehicle, and if you met the same conditions as if they'd stopped you on the highway, smelling like a brewery and "now deputy, I not so think you drunk as I am.", you'll be arrested for DUI. The attorney likely has had a few cases like this! Not only does the DUI liability extend to private property, but the officer also had the right to enter w/o any warrant, even if "no trespassing" signs are prominently displayed, due to the "plain view" and "open fields", or "public access" doctrines. Simply put, he most certainly can enter private property if he's got reasonable suspicion that criminal activity is "afoot", and he can also do the "knock and talk" on a person sitting in his parked vehicle.

@@selfdoI’m not sure about that. If any person can operate any vehicle on private property regardless of age and license, and there are no vehicle codes or traffic laws, then there are also no DUI laws either. It’s not that it isn’t happening, it’s that police can’t enforce law that pertains to the public on private property without a warrant to do so.

When I lived in Cali, so 1990 give or take a couple years, I got a speeding ticket, but by taking the state’s mandatory training thing, it would not get onto my record. The class was taught by a retired CHP officer. His advice was that if you were driving drunk, and then have a you vs. the environment collision (so no others were potentially culpable, but also no others were injured), to go into the nearest roadside store (e.g. - 7-11), buy something alcoholic, keep the receipt for later, and then drink as much as you can. He suggested beer, not spirits. But a cop arrives, lights on ‘cause there’s an accident. He can testify that AFTER the crash (as proven by the receipt you kept) you drank some alcohol. So whatever alcohol level you blow, there’s no way to tell if it was before or after the accident. Me personally, if I were a judge and/or jury, I’d assume that this trick is in itself of mens rea. But I am neither a cop nor a lawyer.

Take a lot of deep breaths to clear out any sitting alcohol in the lungs as you drive and keep all windows open to keep the odor of alcohol to a minimum if you are pulled over. Beep breaths helps to sober you up a bit by allowing some alcohol to escape in your breath. Keeping the windows open prevents that hot-boxing effect if they are closed and only the driver's window opened.
