The Client was stopped by law enforcement because the Officer had received notice from dispatch that she was driving impaired. Once stopped the Client informed the Officer that she was simply lost and was trying to use her phone and call her son to get directions. The video evidence demonstrated that not only might there be a problem with the stop of the vehicle, but the Client also did not appear to be impaired. Additionally, The Firm discovered a possible motion to suppress the roadside exercises based upon the fact that the Officer involved improperly coerced her to do them. After discussing these facts with the State Attorney’s Office, along with other mitigating factors, the State agreed to dismiss the DUI charge.
