Don’t Fall for Old Wives’ Tales<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
There are many false assumptions and mentions on how to beat a DUI conviction, but the only real way to get your charges dropped or dismissed is by building a strong and impactful defense. The most common DUI defenses include improper police stops, improper field sobriety test protocol, medical conditions, Miranda right violations, and introduction of evidence at trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Improper Police Stops<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Unless police had a reasonable suspicion that you were\nconducting criminal activity, they are not legally allowed to pull you over. A\nsimple instinct or gut feeling is not enough to pass as reasonable suspicion.\nIf police stops or pulls someone over illegally, any evidence gained is\ninadmissible. Police can legally pull you over for vehicular malfunctions, like\na broken tail light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Improper Sobriety Test Protocol<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
All police are required to adhere to strict protocols when\ntesting a citizen\u2019s sobriety in the field. These field tests have predetermined\nprocedures that cannot be veered from. If police do not follow these protocols\nprecisely, the evidence gained during a field test would be inadmissible in\ncourt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Medical Conditions<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
One of the most common and effective defenses against DWI\ncharges is proving a relevant medical condition, such as those that might give\noff the appearance of intoxication or distort the results of a roadside\nbreathalyzer test. This might include epilepsy, diabetes, anemia, neurological\nproblems, and exhaustion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Miranda Right Violations<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
According to our Constitutional rights, police must inform\nall suspects under arrest that they are officially being arrested and are not free\nto leave. Furthermore, police are required by law to inform the arrested\nsuspect of their rights, including their right to remain silent, their right to\na lawyer, and more. If an officer fails to do this, it is considered a\nviolation of your Miranda\nRights<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A DUI defense strategy that has worked well for many\ndefendants doesn\u2019t come into play until the day of trial. If evidence or state\nrules of civil procedure are violated in any way, a case can be dismissed. This\nmight include improper character evidence, hearsay, and unauthenticated\ndocuments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Call 317-636-7514<\/strong> to discuss your recent DUI arrest with aggressive Indianapolis DUI defense attorney<\/a>, David E.
