California DUI offers everything you need to know if you are arrested in California for driving under the influence of alcohol ( DUI ) — sometimes referred to as "drunk driving" or "driving while intoxicated" ( DWI ) — including answers to such common questions as: What crimes will I be charged with for a DUI in California ? What are the possible penalties for driving under the influence of alcohol ? Who are the best drunk driving lawyers in California? How can I save my driver's license ? How do those field sobriety tests work? Are those breath tests accurate? How can I estimate my blood-alcohol level ? What if I have a high tolerance to alcohol ? What happens if the police didn't read me my Miranda rights? What happens to my car insurance ? How can I get my driving record ? "What should I do if I'm stopped for drunk driving?" Nationally-known Southern California DUI attorney Lawrence Taylor, author of the legal textbook Drunk Driving Defense , 6th edition , offers 5 tips: Politely decline to answer questions without an attorney (only incriminating answers will be in the police report). Decline to take any field sobriety tests (not required by law and rarely helps you). Unless you are under 21, decline to take any handheld breath test not required by law. Agree to take a required "evidentiary" breath test (blood test if confident you are under .08%). Make sure your attorney calls the DMV Driver Safety Office within 10 days and demands a hearing to contest your license suspension. "Should I just plead guilty?" Atlanta attorney William C. Head, one of the foremost authorities in the country, explains the 5 myths and realities of defending against DWI charges today: Most people accused of this crime are guilty. Drunk driving is a minor offense. Any attorney can defend a person accused of DUI. These cases can't be won. DUI cases are just like any other criminal case.

Feature A Fish Farmer's Tale Could this be the next salmon?

Golden Conflict This judge has some 'splainin to do The Bitch Hypertactile The Bitch detects tragedy, deflects an army of skanks, and parses FPL-speak At Wet Willie's bar on Ocean Drive, a cheery Mike Goodwin, age 28, holds a big strawberry daiquiri in one hand and snakes the other through the air to imitate a drunk driver weaving through traffic. "If a guy's doing this down the road, take him to jail!" he exclaims. His friend Jesse Bakker, age 23, notes that he has never been pulled over for driving under the influence (DUI) and knocks on the shiny wooden bar. Not to worry. The risk of arrest for DUI in much of Miami-Dade County is the lowest in years. Busts have plummeted, not because there are fewer drunk or high drivers but because cops are making fewer stops. In fact, traffic deaths attributed to alcohol or illegal drugs are up slightly in the county despite a nationwide decline. DUI collars by the Miami-Dade Police Department have slumped like a souse after his tenth shot of tequila -- from 2553 in 1996 to 1653 last year, according to state statistics released in June. That's a 35 percent drop. This year's numbers are even lower so far. By contrast, arrests by Broward County police departments rose ten percent, from 5532 to 5937 between 1996 and 1997. Why the DUI dip in Dade? One explanation that even top police officials cite: Officers are still peeved about being portrayed as conniving money grubbers by the Miami Herald's "Collars for Dollars" articles last year. And they are annoyed at State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle for letting cops take all the heat from that five-part series. The investigation, published in July 1997, revealed that officers were earning tens of thousands of dollars in overtime pay to appear in court on DUI cases. Many times their testimony, and thus taxpayer expense, was unnecessary. According to the Herald, several officers would routinely back up others making a DUI arrest. Because the back-up cops were witnesses, they would all be required to appear in court. The cops/witnesses often spent two days per week awaiting and attending hearings. In response to the Herald series, the Miami-Dade Police Department disciplined 32 officers and demoted four supervisors. "We're always the scapegoats. We're always the punching bags," complains John Rivera, president of the Dade County Police Benevolent Association. He says officers have indeed cut back on DUI stops because they are still upset about the bad press and the officers' punishment. "If we do too many DUIs we're criticized for being money-hungry. If we don't do enough, then our performance evaluations are reflective of a lazy cop," he huffs. "There's a saying: 'No work, no problems.'" Jose Zarraga, head of the department's DUI office, says the drop in arrests has been a "hot issue" among his colleagues for months. "Boy oh boy," he guffaws. "I don't want it to seem like I'm insulting my fellow officers. For whatever reasons the officers had, they just felt it was incumbent on them not to make DUI arrests." The Herald series "impacted the officers considerably," he observes. Soon after the articles appeared, Miami-Dade Police Director Carlos Alvarez ordered his supervisors to limit the number of cops backing up DUI arrests, says Zarraga. And prosecutors began subpoenaing fewer of them. Moreover, some lieutenants, captains, and majors have "gone overboard" by ordering their subordinates not to make any DUI stops, "which is itself a violation" of the law, he laments. "That's unconscionable." Zarraga remembers riding the DUI gravy train two years ago. The midnight shift offered the best chance to cash in on such arrests, he explains. It was prime time for finding wasted drivers. And at shift's end in the early morning, he would head to the county courthouse for appearances by DUI defendants arrested months before. Zarraga concedes it was a lucrative -- though sleep-depriving -- system. In 1996 DUI-induced overtime inflated his $58,000 base salary to about $87,000. He now earns approximately $62,000 in his administrative job. The officers are particularly miffed at Rundle. Rivera and Zarraga say the vast majority of those caught up in the scandal were just following Rundle's orders to appear in court. "What the Herald failed to say is that the officers continued to come to court because the state attorney's office continued to subpoena them," Zarraga notes. 1 2 NEXT Contact Us | ©2005 New Times All rights reserved. | Privacy Policy | Bug Report | RSS
