Examples of Some DUI Defenses
Motion To Suppress Evidence [Motion 1538.5]
One of the best defenses that can be applied to a DUI charge would be that the officer in question did not have proper grounds to directly contact you. Basically if the judge that you are assigned to is convinced of this fact though motion 1538.5m then you case will be dismissed without the need of a trial.
Scientific Defense of Rising Blood Alcohol
With the rising blood alcohol defense, the law requires that your blood alcohol level is not greater than a level of .08% at the time of driving. The blood alcohol levels before and after driving is completely irrelevant, if you can prove that when you were driving, that you alcohol level was below the .08% threshold. In most cases, you can have an expert testify on your behalf, depending on your pattern of drinking. Even though you tested higher than the .08% threshold, but you were actually below the threshold at the time of driving. This also has been a very successful defense.
