i live in Texas. i was recently pulled over for dwi… i was given two road side tests and then taken to jail. i spent about 8 hours in a cell before i was even booked. the two tests i was given were the "follow the pen test" and "stick your leg out test". im assuming i failed both because yeah i went to jail that night.. but i never received the breathalyzer test. its not that i refused to take the test it, it was never even mentioned. like i said i didnt even get booked until 8 hours later. i pleaded not guilty and obviously im getting a lawyer. Scientific studies show that neither road side tests given to me are near 80% accurate…. what are my chances of getting off on this charge? i didnt have my glasses for the eye test. i’ve got an injured shoulder and back from getting too aggressive at the gym so that might help with the leg test… Any thoughts?
Ok im not a lawyer or anything but i’ve done some extensive research. The pen test can be misleading due to the fact the same clues to DWI are also shown in people who have high levels of nicotine in their system and can commonly be mistaken as someone being over the legal limit of .08 . i applaud your response and thank you for your advice but, i don’t expect your next response to claim you are some type of scientist or a doctor..You, as the officer before you, were trained by fellow officers and certefied within the police academy. My problem is that i WASNT over the legal driving limit and the breathalyzar would have shown that. Rather than collecting a resisting arrest charge i picked up my chips and cashed out.. When i was thrown in a cell and booked 8 hours later it deemed the breathalyzer useless… How is that my fault? i expected to receive this test with a jailor and instead they took down my name,threw me in a cell and forgot about me. telltale signs of a false arrest? why w

This is a complaint that we submited to the cheif of police but we would like to take it further. Do we have a case aginst the police officer?

"I have Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and a severely compromised immune system due to immunosuppressant drug therapy. This has gone on since I was one and a half years old. I have severe knee pain and my Rheumatologist stated I will need total knee replacement in the near future. I am physically deemed handicapped and have had my cars license plates handicapped for 6 years now. Officer Hall pulled me over and took me into custody June 20 in the early morning for suspicion of DWI. Upon asking me to step out of the car, I made him aware that I had taken my shoes off to drive because my arthritis is out of remission and it is easier on my knees to drive barefoot. He had me step out anyway, without my shoes and then continued to have me do the walk and turn test barefoot on the side of the highway. There are witnesses to this. In the NHTSA Standard Field Sobriety Test hand guide I am not an eligible candidate for this procedure and the officer neglected to take my disability into account. With a rheumatic flare I should not be walking barefoot on pavement without proper arch supported shoes and with my immuno-compromised state brought on by Methotrexate and Humeria, I was also put at risk for infection from whatever particles could have been on the roadway. The officer then retrieved my purse but still failed to let me have my shoes. I was taken to the county police station where I was still not given shoes and had to walk around the precinct and even into inmate bathrooms with bare feet, again putting me at risk for infection and illness. After completing the necessary paperwork I was put into the general inmate area. Not until then did a separate officer bring me a pair of shoes, but by this time I already had sores on the bottom of my feet. Upon entering, a male inmate who had been brought in around the same time as me asked if I had just been brought in for a DWI and if I had any physical impairment. I stated yes and asked him how he knew this. He explained that after I had been put into a side room that officer Hall was telling the other officers that I had an excuse for everything and was claiming that I had arthritis and a disability. He stated that the officers then began laughing about the situation and made jokes on my behalf. I think it is completely inappropriate to make fun of my disability and especially to do so in front of other inmates. It is my personal medical information and should not be talked about or be shared with other officers either. It is a violation of my HIPPA rights. By the time I was finally released I could barely walk because the precinct was very cold and I had not had proper shoes on for 4 hours. I am still having stiffness and problems stemming from that night. I believe it was unprofessional and cruel for someone with a disability to be treated in this way. I have been dealing with this chronic illness for 23 years and have serious medical conditions resulting from it. It is not something to laugh at or not take seriously. I feel that the situation was inappropriate and does not represent the standard I believe police officers should be held to."

*She was not drunk what so ever, he told her that "it didnt matter, you could blow .02 and im still giving you a DWI"…….. Which I dont understand either………
What are some examples of disability harassment?

Disability harassment involves unwelcome and offensive conduct in the workplace that is based on a person’s disability. Disability harassment can include negative or offensive remarks or jokes about a person’s disability or need for a workplace change, and other verbal or physical conduct based on a person’s disability.

*This is what I get for a basic definition of disability harassment……..

I got a DWI back when I was 19. I am 21 now and want to become a cop, maybe. So I was wondering if I could or not.

I think I get bail and bond confused. But is it posted when people are arrested for a DWI? if not, why?

i was in the car drunk and the bac level was (0.14) the coup wrote me a tickiet for dwi and parking sign posted i didnt drive but i got the tickiet in NJ state is there anyone know what should i do before go to court?

Someone just told me that a passenger can also get in trouble if the driver gets a DWI. I am just wondering if this is true or not.

I took blood 5pressure pills and blacked out driving from the pills. I ran off the road and hit a tree.I was the only one injured.I blacked out from the pills and ran off the road.I was by myself.I dont drink. The dr. had given me 5 pills to take at one time. I woke up 3 hours later in the hospital. they said I had a wreck. a few days later I got a suphena to show up in court as a witness. I went to court and they said they were ticketing me for dwi and failure to control a vehichle. They said they drew my blood and my alchohol level was .11. How do I defend myself. I dont trust the appointed lawyer. He said its my word against theirs. Who put alcohol in my blood? What is going on here..Please this is serious no silly answers please.

I live in New Jersey and about five months ago I received a DWI. I was driving home, swerved to avoid a deer, and hit a tree, totaling my car. Turns out, I was also above the blood alcohol limit.

Here is my question. I lost my license for 7 months and my insurance company claims I still have to pay car insurance even though I no longer have a car to insure. My lawyer says that insurance insures cars, not people, but my agent insists that there is some law in NJ that says if you live with someone who owns a car and has insurance, you are likely to steal their car and drive, and so you must pay car insurance during the duration of your suspension for that inevitable theft. I’ve never heard of that before. I have no car to insure, and no license, I’m not going to drive. Why should I pay insurance on a car I don’t own? I was wondering if anyone else can help?

Thanks
Rob

If you get convicted of a DWI in Texas, do you have to tell your car insurance right away or wait till they find out, and then raise the rates?

I have a friend that heard a rumor that you have to file some sort of SR24 (not exactly what it is) with your car insurance or if you get in an accident and they find out you have one on your record, they won’t pay for the car. I’m confused, but dont want to hang ourselves either.

I just had my 1st DWI this weekend. A very regrettable and shamefull move on my part. No one was hurt, thank God. Since I have a DWI now, will that keep my from getting into the Navy?

I live in New Mexico and I am 16 years old, and got a DWI. I don’t know what my BAC level is yet, but I’m guessing it was around .2
Can anyone help me with what I might be charged for and what my consequences will be?
I have a really good lawyer, too.
I know what I did was wrong, I went to jail. Trust me, I regret it. So please, no nasty comments.

Thanks

i got arrested for dwi in houston tx
can someone tell me how much it costs for first offense and what will happen?

My children have been in my care since I left him. He has not paid any child support. He has had them this past week, and we agreed that I was going to pick them back up tomorrow but no he is telling me that he is going to keep them. There is nothing on paper yet as far as who has custody, I cant afford a lawyer. He has a new DWI. How do I get my kids tomorrow if he will not open the door?

I got a DWI back in 08 (deeply regretted) is it possible to get it off my record early?
