If you have been arrested in Oakland for Driving Under the Influence (DUI), and Oakland DUI, you have several things that you need to do immediately. Here is a start: First, do a chronology of the day and day before. Most people are arrested in the early morning hours, so you will want accurate information including the day before from the time you awoke and got up and ate breakfast all the way

The California Supreme Court just ruled in an appealed case, People v. McNeal, that a defendant in a criminal DUI trial charged with violations of California Vehicle Code Section 23152(a) has the right to provide evidence that the breath test may be flawed scientifically to the result for impairment because a persons blood to breath ratio, which is presumed as an average to be 2100/1, which may

Protest of Oscar Grant at Oakland, California can cause a change of venue. While most people are outraged at the shooting of Mr. Grant by the BART Police, they may actually be hurting themselves in seeking justice by the riots and now heavy protesting during the Preliminary Hearings that have just occurred. The demonstrations are so strong to convict the Officer who shot Mr. Grant of Murder

You just can't trust the Government. The Government has all the power because they have the money, and we have been taught that the police are here to help us. Sadly, this just is not always true. Recently, I went into trial where the arresting officer had died. Yet, the Government decided to proceed the charges of Driving Under the Influence by bringing in five (5) other police officers.

A new law goes into effect January 1, 2009 in California. Vehicle Code Section 23154. If you are under 21, you are required to take a Preliminary Alcohol Screening (PAS) test if stopped by the police and they believe that you have been drinking and you are driving. This is optional for people over the age of 21, and in fact, the law requires the police officer tell you that you have the

It is September 1, 2008, and the news reports show that one (1) person has been killed with alcohol related driving. This is the same as last year. Over-all, however, police have arrested fewer people for Driving Uner the Influence (DUI) this year as opposed to last year. This year, so far, there have been 209 people arrested for being allegedly DUI. Last year at this time the police had

The DMV hearing process is not exactly known for being a fair and impartial process. In fact, the Hearing Officer is also the Prosecutor trying to take you driving privilege, and then is suppose to be a fair and impartial judge; sure!!!! Nowhere in civil law does the Judge act as a Prosecutor. Nowhere in any civil case is hearsay allowed. Nowhere in California is a non-lawyer allowed to make

The police have already begun using funds for roadblocks, check point stops, for the Labor Day Weekend and it is only August 29, 2008. Remember, the best rule is don't drink and drive; have a designated driver. Have your license, registration and proof of current insurance already out and ready for the officer if you run into one of these check points. The Officer may ask you where you are

January 14, 2007 If you are stopped for a DUI investigation, and you are in California, "Don't answer a bunch of questions about where you were coming from and where you are going. Don't answer questions about when you slept last and how long you slept, when you ate last and what you ate, what time you started drinking, stopped drinking, where you were drinking, what you were drinking and how

Recent DUI trials, especially GERD cases, have shown that the District Attorney (DA) will make a big deal out of the fact that you had people around with you when you were drinking, and none of those were willing to testify for you. In closing arguments, the DA will tell the jury if there was any truth to what the Defendant said during the trial, and he had witnesses, they would have testified,
