Las Vegas DUI cases are winable. Patrol officers are making more DUI arrests in the Las Vegas valley. Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas are having budget shortage problems and are apparently requesting that more traffic stops and maybe even arrests for DUIs be made. This is causing suspected drunk driving citizens with low BACs to be arrested for DUI, whereas a few years ago they probably would not have been arrested for DUI in Las Vegas.
A true Las Vegas DUI lawyer must thoroughly examine the drunk driving evidence in each case. There are often flaws to expose in the prosecution's case which can help drivers avoid a DUI conviction in Las Vegas.
Below are issues that Jerry Donohue can exploit to beat a DUI charge in Las Vegas:
- Lack of Probable Cause for the vehicle stop;
- More than one officer is necessary;
- You refused to submit to the Field Sobriety Tests;
- You refused to submit to the Preliminary Breath Test;
- The Field Sobriety Tests have a high "false positive" rate;
- An appearance of intoxication can be from non-alcohol reasons such as high blood sugar or over the counter medications;
- The Officer lacked Probable Cause to arrest you for DUI;
- Contaminates in the breath skews the Intoxilyzer breath machine results;
- Chronic heartburn or GERD can skew the breath machine results;
- Exploit the margin of error in the blood and breath machine's results.
