DWI CASE EXAMPLE: NOT GUILTY AUGUST 7, 2008

The New Hampshire DWI laws and penalties are tough.  Here is an example of a recent case victory-a NOT GUILTY VERDICT after a trial in a New Hampshire DWI case:

DRIVER STOPPED FOR “WEAVING”, “CROSSING THE FOG LINE”, “CROSSING THE DOUBLE YELLOW LINE”.  SHE BLEW A .14 INTO THE BATTERY OPERATED ROADSIDE GADGET,                                                            THEN SHE WAS ARRESTED FOR DWI

THIS DRIVER ELECTED TO REFUSE TO BLOW INTO

THE OLD RUBBER BREATH TEST HOSE AT THE

POLICE STATION

DWI CASE EXAMPLE: A POLICE OFFICER STOPPED A DRIVER AFTER SHE ALLEGEDLY “WEAVED WITHIN HER LANE”. AND SUPPOSEDLY CROSSED THE WHITE AND YELLOW LINES.  SHE ALSO SUPPOSEDLY FAILED TO USE A TURN SIGNAL.  NONE OF THESE “OBSERVATIONS” ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

AFTER SMELLING AN ODOR OF ALCOHOL COMING FROM INSIDE THE CAR AND INTERROGATING THE DRIVER, THE POLICE OFFICER ASKED HER TO PERFORM THE SIDEWALK OLYMPICS KNOWN AS “FIELD SOBRIETY TESTS”.  EVEN THOUGH THE DRIVER DID A GREAT JOB ON THESE SUBJECTIVE EXERCISES, SHE WAS ARRESTED ANY WAY.  IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THESE ROADSIDE ACROBATICS, AND IT IS LIKELY THAT ONCE YOU ARE ASKED TO DO THEM YOU WILL BE ARRESTED NO MATTER WHAT THE “RESULTS”. 

PEOPLE WHO ARE ORDERED OUT OF THEIR CAR BY POLICE SELDOM GET BACK INTO THEIR OWN CARS.  CHOOSE WHETHER TO GIVE EVIDENCE AGAINST YOURSELF CAREFULLY.

THIS DRIVER WAS ASKED TO BLOW INTO A SMALL, HAND-HELD, BATTERY OPERATED GIZMO CALLED A “PRELIMINARY BREATH TESTER”.  YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BLOW INTO THESE AND THEY ARE NOT VERY ACCURATE.

AFTER THE DWI FIELD SOBRIETY TESTING RITUAL WAS OVER, THE DRIVER BLEW INOT THE GIZMO.  THE OFFICER SAID THE RESULT WAS A .149.  NOTE-THERE IS NO PRINTOUT FROM THESE GIZMOS; THE “RESULT” IS WHATEVER THE OFFICER REMEMBERS IT TO BE.

THE POLICE ARRESTED THE DRIVER AND CHARGED HER WITH DWI.  SHE REFUSED TO GIVE ANY MORE EVIDENCE AGAINST HERSELF AT THE POLICE STATION AND REFUSED TO BLOW INTO THE OLD BLACK RUBBER HOSE USED FOR BREATH TESTING AT THE STATION.
