DUI Defense Lawyer Strategies - Part 2

The machine (instrument) has been tested over and over again at the same time as a blood draw with the same results as breath so what is your point HGN proven if six clues are seen 77 % bac is over .10

He is not talking about falling down drunk. He is talking about a defendent who had two drinks and was pulled over for a broken bulb, touching a center line etc. in the middle of the night and required to perform field sobriety tests on loose gravel in the darkness with cars roaring by.

You are an idiot. This guy talks business.

[BiologyGuy1]

@MrMapleleaf2006 This guy sounds like a falling over drunk.

DWI is easy money for the cops and they get a big chunck of a DWI fine. Policing for profit.

Our local police department just got $63.000 in Obama stimulus money. They announced they will use it for overtime for DWI enforcement. They know how to triple their money.

@DocMcCrae Someone told you a huge story, and you bought it. Police officers dont get any of the money that the state/county makes from tickets and pullovers including DWI.

[DocMcCrae]

@BiologyGuy1 I don't know where you are from, but in my state the police department, judge, county jail and police retirement fund all get some of the money from DUI convictions. Plus they get nice perks (kickbacks) from the tow companies, bail bondsmen and company that installs the alcohol detector in the accused's vehicle.

@DocMcCrae LIke I said, someone told you a funny story....

[DocMcCrae]

@BiologyGuy1 Hey dipshit. I know what I'm talking about. Since you appear to be a know-it-all about every state and their judicial system you must be as smart as Obama. I can't say what your state does but I know what mine does.

[BiologyGuy1]

@DocMcCrae Look drunk, just post to a site that lists state law, and where it shows proof that police make a profit from pulling people over. Have a nice day alcoholic loser.

[DocMcCrae]

@BiologyGuy1 Nice try queerguy. I don't drink, so that makes you wrong again.

[BiologyGuy1]

@DocMcCrae Sure you dont, maybe not anymore. That would leave most to ponder why you are critical of police officers arresting people for DUI.

[JJMillertime]

@BiologyGuy1 Its common knowledge cops get paid overtime for having to appear in court to testify, genius lol. Just google, CHP overtime pay from court appearances. So yes.... if they dont write tickets they dont make as much money.

[awbacker]

@BiologyGuy1 Police officers do not directly, that is true. But all tickets are split up according to state law, and county law, and the funds for different offenses go to different recievers/organizations. DUI and alcohol offenses have a lot of special rules for how the fines are divided, with some going to the testing lab (fee assesed regardless of if it was performed or not), the citing agency, and all _sorts_ of other factors. This will varry greatly by state, chp/local, etc.
