Defense against DUI Charges in Vista

DUI defense often concerns the illegality of the stop. A police officer may stop a driver only on probable cause for believing the driver has broken the law. Where no probable cause exists, all evidence taken is inadmissible against the driver.

DUI defense may also deal with violation of procedures used in drug or alcohol screening. When the police conduct field sobriety tests, they must follow exact procedures. Even so their conclusions can be attacked as subjective and biased. They must also follow exact procedures in conducting breath tests and blood tests. Breath tests are particularly open to challenge. A suspect's physical condition, burping, colds or fever can all undermine tests. So is a failure to calibrate the breathalyzer. Blood tests are also open to question if alcohol is used to clean the skin before taking the blood sample, the sample is not refrigerated properly or there is a broken chain of custody.
