They impounded my car, took my dog to a pound, had me pay a bail bondsman because I'm from out of state. I had to front my own bail too. My dog was nearly euthanized because he bites strangers...that bothers me more than anything. I admit I was speeding (but I always do) and I had a bottle of beer open in the vehicle (not good). But I took the breathalyzer 5 times at the station and they got a zero reading on every one. They still held me in a cell for 16 hours. The DUI was dismissed in court...I showed up in person. I am from Providence, Rhode Island. I got my $1700 bail money back, but I paid $20 for my dog, $260 for my car and some $250 for the bail bondsman. I paid for the speeding ticket and the open container ticket, but I didn't deserve to be arrested for a DUI.
Can you sue, sure, but you'll likely lose. I wouldn't want to go through that either, but you sort of stepped in it...

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,...
