When a guy is arrested on a drunk driving charge, they may not take it too seriously. They were out drinking with the boys and got stopped by the cops. No one was hurt and there was no property damage. The cops were very polite, perhaps even friendly. DWI is a serious felony and the person under arrest should say he wants to speak with a Criminal Attorney Baltimore immediately. The police have been carefully trained to treat people in a certain way to get the most information possible out of defendants. If the drunk person admits to drinking too much, then that’s a confession.
He will make the job of Attorney David E. Fink much harder, if he does make any admissions to the police. Many people have to call their spouses to have them post bail or call a lawyer. They don’t realize that they phone calls are not private. If they admit that they stupidly drank a dozen beers before the got behind the wheel, the police might be listening in. If they call their lawyer first, that conversation is protected. The lawyer will then remind them that they can’t say anything to anyone and that includes posting to their Facebook page. The police actually check this information source regularly because defendants post about their night out and then their arrest.
A DWI defendant might think that there isn’t much that a Criminal Attorney Baltimore can do if they failed a breathalyzer test. That’s not the case. The breathalyzer equipment itself can be quesitionned. If it has not been maintained or serviced properly, it can give inaccurate readings. The officer also has to administer the test in the correct manner and then ensure that the chain of custody is maintained. There are many expert witnesses that specialize in questioning the validity of breathalyzer tests. The lawyer will also attempt to have evidence thrown out and the charges reduced, by showing that the police did not have probably cause to stop a vehicle. They must cite specific behaviors that indicated a person was drunk. Coming out of a bar after several hours does not constitute probable cause. Visit website for more details.
