Cordele Crime

I was stopped during a routine stop, no hazardous or unsafe driving of vehicle noted and given 3 separate breathalizer tests on 2 machines. My vehicle was registered and insured. I am mobility impaired with handicap plates on my motorcycyle. I was not told of the results of the breathalizer tests and given the field sobriety tests and was told it was up to the officer to arrest me or not. So he did. He told me, I could have blood drawn and I did. The results came back clean. I had to pay a bondsman to get me out and had to pay again to get another court date. I have plead not guilty and ready How can I get my money back and sue the county for harassment, and false imprisonment and defamation of character. I am a nurse and have had a clean record thus far.

Before you start having fantasies about suing anyone (and I don't hear a basis for a suit anyway), you first have to...

I was recently arrested for a DUI while parked with the vehicle off on a side road. I was using my phone to get a ride home when a police officer pulled up and walked past my car to a unattended vehicle, as he walked by he asked me if i knew who's car it was and i said no and went back to using my phone.The officer returned to my vehicle and said he smelled the presence of alcohol and asked me if i had been drinking and i said no sir then the officer asked if i would do a sobriety test i responded no sir and tried to explain that i was just using my phone nothing more.Then the officer asked if i would submit to a breath test i declined but i said yes to a blood test so i wouldn't lose my license, he told me to exit the vehicle and he arrested me for DUI. Did he even have probable cause?

Possibly. These are complicated issues you bring up, and DUIs can be complicated cases. Because it's a second offense,...

I was pulled over for failure to maintain lane at 4:30AM on my birthday (Friday, May 10th) after having waited a couple hours to leave my friend's. I was certain I was ok to drive because I drank very little and much time had passed. I was questioned, and I later agreed to take the breath test at the station believing cooperation would help in the long run. I was not told how I did on the FSTs. I blew a .087 (pretty low, yet high for the amount I drank) and booked at around 5AM. I stayed in jail all of that day and released on bond Saturday afternoon about 33+ hours later. Could there have been a mistake on the breathalyzer? I did vomit before I left because of food poisoning, and I was told that could've affected the reading.

You need to all an experienced workers compensation attorney immediately. We would need more facts to fully evaluate...

I refused to take a Breathalyzer test after being arrested , but I did submit to the field test . The arresting officer checked the first two spaces on the DA - 1205 form , indicating that I had tested positive above 0 . 08 . Considering that the form clearly states " MARK ONE ONLY " and on his sworn report , he is indicating that I tested above 0 . 08 , which cannot be proven because I refused to take a Breathalyzer , will this help me ? ? He also did not sign the temporary license section at the bottom of the page , even though my license / privilege was not suspended , canceled , or revoked at the time of my arrest . This has left me with nothing .

You should hire a qualified DUI expert to help you with your case. Any time you want to mount a technical attack as...

My license has been suspended for 1 year, but according to the new law I am eligible for an ignition interlock permit after 120 days of hard suspension. I went to rehab for 6 months, I did the DUI school, I did the evaluation, I paid my fines. I can't afford an attorney just to go in front of the judge to ask for a certificate for interlock device.

Call the judge's office and ask to appear before the judge at the judge's convenience and then tell the judge that you...

I will fail the test for marijuana that I used before my court date and my first pretrial meeting is a week after court. Do they expect me to be clean? If I pee clean will they take it easier on me?

If you fail your first test, you could be put in jail.

My 17 yo daughter was pulled over for failure to maintain lane and determined to be under the influence. They conducted a field sobriety test and she failed. She was arrested and sent to the ER to have a mandatory blood test to check for drugs or alcohol. The officer asked her if she had taken anything. She responded that she had taken her prescribed anti anxiety medicine, Vistaril. She had the prescription bottle with her and showed it to the officer. It stated on the bottle that "may cause drowsiness" and "use caution while driving, etc". After being released, she told me that she had taken her Dad's Clonazepam.(total of 3 mg.) She had not slept for 3 days due to a break up with her boyfriend and had not been eating. She is being treated for anxiety by a primary dr and a therapist.

Cases involving driving under the influence of drugs can be some of the most difficult cases for the State to win,...
