Roadside Test Errors and Beating an OWI Charge in Detroit

It is widely recognized that roadside blood alcohol level tests and field sobriety tests do not yield accurate results, yet these tests still play a critical role in many drunk driving cases. Police will use roadside testing after pulling a suspect over to establish probable cause for arrest so that they are able to bring a suspect in for further evaluation. Mistakes made during this process, however, could lead to a lack of probable cause for an officer and a favorable case outcome for the defendant.

Expose Police Mistakes in a Michigan Drunk Driving Case

If the police officer gives the suspect incorrect instructions or fails to follow procedure at any point during a roadside evaluation, it could render any evidence or cause gained inadmissible. For roadside breath tests, incorrect calibration or an expired license to operate the Breathalyzer machine could prove to be critical errors by the police. During a field sobriety test, an incorrect or confusing command, or ignorance of case-specific conditions such as a medical condition or a slanted roadside which may make it difficult to properly complete the test, could lead to the dismissal of any findings. Always consult with an attorney as soon as possible so that you can challenge every detail of your initial investigation and arrest.

Beating the BAC and Breathalyzer Test in Detroit

Incorrect calibration, failure to follow procedure, an expired operating license, or other considerations are all very important BAC test mistakes that need to be considered. Though the roadside Breathalyzer is the not admissible in court anyway, failure to establish probable cause could help you out in your case. In addition, police often support their initial findings with a secondary BAC test after arrest, usually a blood or breath test. Although these chemical tests are more accurate than roadside tests, mistakes are still regularly made, and an experienced lawyer will be able to seek out potential errors committed during this stage of the process. Failure to have proper medical supervision for a blood test, mistakes made in transferring evidence or incorrect records of where evidence was at all times, and misreading results can all lead to case dismissals or court victories if properly challenged by a knowledgeable attorney. Though it isn’t possible for you to consciously beat a BAC test, police regularly beat themselves by performing the tests incorrectly. Work with a lawyer early on so that you are ready to expose mistakes when they are made.

Rights Violations and Other Police Mistakes in Michigan DUI Cases

Other key errors, which can lead to a beneficial case result, include:

  • Failing to read a suspect his or her rights.
  • Inability to produce dispatch tapes.
  • Not disclosing witnesses.
  • Ignoring right to a swift trial.
  • Past disciplinary issues on an officer’s record.
