DWI
CASE EXAMPLE: JANUARY 13, 2009
The
Motorcycle driver charged with DWI after a
stop for speeding…

DWI CASE EXAMPLE-BASIC FACTS: A police officer saw a
motorcycle in front of him driving too fast.
The officer activated his radar and clocked the driver travelling at a
rate of 78 in a 50 mph zone. The officer
activated his blue lights and stopped the rider. The rider pulled over to the side of the
road. The officer approached the
operator and demanded his license and registration. The driver produced his license and
registration and gave it to the officer.
The officer interrogated the driver about drinking based on an odor of
alcohol he smelled, and the motorcycle rider told the officer he had a few
beers earlier. The officer then ordered
the rider to do “field sobriety testing”, the prelude to an arrest for DWI. These are maneuvers in which the officer has
the driver perform tricks like a circus monkey prior to arresting the
driver. Even drivers who do well on
these unusual tasks usually end up getting arrested and charged with DWI.
Once off the
motorcycle, the field sobriety testing circus began and ended with the usual
result: the operator was arrested for DWI.
The officer’s report described the usual “standardized clues of
impairment” heard about during nearly every DWI trial. The officer asked the driver to blow into
the black rubber hose at the police station, but this citizen chose to refuse
to give any more “evidence”. He refused to blow into the breath box.
This citizen hired
Attorney Mark Stevens to represent him at trial.
