DUI – OFFICER’S TESTIMONY BARRED FROM EVIDENCE

Client was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. Our office subpoenaed the in-squad car video of the police officer which would have captured the Defendant performing field sobriety tests. The Chicago Police Department failed to bring the video on the scheduled court date. We argued to the judge that sanctions should be imposed since they did not comply with our subpoena. The judge agreed and precluded the officer from testifying and the license suspension hearing.
