DUI Task Forces on the Lookout - DUI Defenses Abound
As Christmas and New Year’s Eve approach, California law enforcement officials will be
- conducting DUI saturation patrols,
- operating DUI / sobriety / driver’s license checkpoints, and
- on the lookout in general for people who are driving under the influence.
But make no mistake about it. This means that this is a perfect time to challenge your arrest, as there are several good DUI defenses that could help acquit you of your charges.
This is because sober and intoxicated drivers alike will be stopped, investigated and, potentially falsely arrested for this offense. And because of this heightened alert, officers may jump to conclusions, make overzealous arrests and engage in sloppy investigations. As a result, this is actually a good time to try to fight a DUI arrest.
Skilled drunk driving defense attorneys are experts at looking at cases to spot potential DUI defenses. So don’t assume that just because you were arrested over the holidays means that a judge/jury will find you guilty as charged. DUI defenses abound…especially when an officer may incorrectly assume you are driving under the influence and may therefore engage in an investigation that doesn’t comply with legal procedures or protocol.
