Breathalyzer Results Can Be Used in Your Defense One of the first lines of defense in a DUI / DWI (drunk driving) charge is to challenge the results of the Breathalyzer, blood-alcohol, or urine test. All three involve scientific processes that can be inaccurate in one way or another.
California’s “implied consent” law requires you to take a Breathalyzer test at any time when directed to do so by a police officer. If you refuse a Breathalyzer, you will automatically be charged with a crime. If you didn’t refuse to take the Breathalyzer test, however, its results can be used in your defense.
Los Angeles, California -Area Drug Charges Attorney There are many instances in which drug charges are generated unfairly. For example:
people have been arrested because they happened to be in a room full of people when someone was found to be in possession of illegal drugs.
the police may recruit another drug charge defendant to stage a purchase of illegal drugs in a “controlled buy,” which may lack credibility because the other defendant has a strong motive to protect his deal, no matter what.
Drug raids are sometimes conducted in violation of people`s Miranda rights, leading to a motion to suppress evidence.
Sobriety checkpoints ought not to be an occasion for police to overreach your constitutional rights.
Make sure all possible defenses are considered before deciding what to do with your case. If you are accused of possession, sale, or manufacturing of cocaine, marijuana, heroin, or crack, contact attorney Laurence B. Donoghue now for a free consultation.
