Most Americans trust and respect police officers. If you think that you will be able to go into a courtroom and overcome this ingrained belief you are, most of the time, dead wrong. Americans do not like drunk drivers. If you think that you can win an OVI case by calling the police officer a liar, you will probably lose. One of the biggest mistakes an attorney can make is to position your case so that the jury must choose between believing the officer’s version of events or your version of… [read post]

My practice is proud to serve the military community in and around Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. One of the recurring questions we get from military personnel is whether or not a federal or out-of-state DUI can be used to enhance a DUI they get here in Ohio. At one time they did not. Now, however, the offenses received in another state or on federal property do count. See Ohio Revised Code 4511.181(A). DUI defense attorneys challenged the ex post facto application of R.C. 4511.181(A) but… [read post]

If you thought that public shaming was a barbaric practice relegated to the distant past, you have not been driving through Ohio.

Use of the “scarlet letter” plates became mandatory in 2004. O.R.C. 4507.02(F)(2) and 4503.231.

ODH and the Disappearing Intoxilyzer 8000 Records One of the proposed benefits of the adoption of the Intoxilyzer 8000 was to be the consolidation of breath test records in one place.

Implementation and maintenance of the Intoxilyzer 8000 is the responsibility of the Ohio Department of Health and specifically the ODH's Bureau of Alcohol and Drug Testing. The Ohio Department of Health has started a web site… [read post]

What happens if a police officer pulls me over for a possible DUI?
You should always cooperate with a police officer. What you need to be careful about is answering questions that could incriminate you. If the police officer asks you about drinking, make sure you don’t say “Yea you caught me, I am drunk.” You need the police officer to go through the motions to prove that he has enough reason to have a suspicion that you are driving under the influence. This gives the police officer more of an… [read post]

The implementation of the Intoxilyzer 8000 continues to be an embarrassment to all Ohioans. Not only is the machine rife with problems, but the Ohio Department of Health has botched both the writing of the rules of implementation. Now they plan on shutting down the key component of the Intoxilyzer 8000 scheme, the Breath Instrument On-line Database. The shutdown is due to complications, missing tests and disappearing data. This raises the question as to how the Ohio Department of Health will… [read post]

This Durham/Cary/Raleigh DUI lawyer foresees law enforcement officers searching cell phones incident to a DUI arrest. Generally, speaking the law is that if an officer makes an arrest, no matter the charge, he may proceed to search the arrestee's vehicle for incriminating evidence. But can the arresting officer search through a cell phone for incriminating text messages, phone records, and voice messages? The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals recently determined that the "manifest" need to preserve… [read post]
