Every Case Depends on the Evidence
The result is not determined only by the reading on a machine.
After a DUI or impaired driving charge, many people believe the outcome is automatic.
In reality, the case depends on the evidence collected during the stop and testing procedure.
Understanding what is reviewed helps you know what happens next.
The Reason for the Stop
Police must have lawful grounds to stop the vehicle.
The circumstances of the stop become part of the case.
The Roadside Demand
Officers must follow specific steps when requiring a sample.
Timing and wording can matter.
The Testing Procedure
Breath testing has technical requirements.
Records and observations are examined together.
Statements and Observations
Notes, statements, and reports are compared with the testing evidence.
Why This Matters
Advice depends on reviewing the full file, not just one number.
Speaking with a lawyer allows the situation to be assessed properly.
