DUI – NOT GUILTY AFTER TRIAL

Client stopped for illegal lane usage and weaving within his lane of traffic. Officers suspected that my client may be under the influence of alcohol. They have my client perform field sobriety tests. The initial stop, detention and subsequent arrest were captured on the arresting officer’s squad car video. The officer had my client perform the field sobriety tests while his overhead oscillating lights are on. I get him to admit that pursuant to his training, oscillating lights can cause disorientation with individuals and should be turned off while field sobriety testing is being given. Judge agreed and after trial found my client NOT GUILTY of DUI.
