A DWI or DUI VIDEO Can They Be Challenged?
Call it fate. Again, I was looking for a good DUI video example that could be challenged in court. I found it, but this DUI video has become more
popular than the point I was trying to make!
The DWI video on this page is entertaining and worth a quick gander. But the King of All DUI Videos is this one. Prepare to be impressed!
That's right, not just amused, but impressed.
With the proliferation of dashboard video cameras in police cruisers, it is common for DUI arrests to be captured on
video.
The DUI video such as the one shown below will generally contain some portion of your driving, the traffic stop, the interraction with the officer, and the
field sobriety tests.
This evidence can be helpful to a DUI defense. However, it can also contain strong evidence for
the prosecution. Because of this, it is important to be mindful of the camera if suspected of DUI. The DUI video can help you
or hurt you, and should prompt all parties to be on their best behavior.
Throughout the DUI stop and arrest, the officer will be making observations. Everything the officer witnesses may be used
against you in court on the DUI charge. Aside from the traffic offense and field sobriety tests, the officer will likely
talk to you about where you were, how much you have had to drink, or just generally chatting about whatever comes to mind to further
assess your mental ability.
Locate Sobriety Check Points and Speed Traps BEFORE You Get To Them!
Because the officer can use anything observed to help convict you of DUI, it is generally best to politely refuse to
speak until you have consulted with an attorney. An experienced DUI or DWI lawyer can scrutinize the video for any evidence
that could work in your favor. The DUI video may reveal evidence that is frequently challenged in court.
