IOWA MAN BLOWS WHOPPING .627 ON BREATH-TEST MACHINE, STUNS POLICE

In late September a DUI arrest wowed officers in Iowa when the suspect in question blew a .627 BAC on a State-administered breath test. Multiple officers confessed that the result was the highest reading they had seen in their entire careers, some spanning 20 years. According to one officer, he was told in DUI training that an individual with a BAC of over .40 percent is considered clinically dead. more.

Advice as to who you decide to hire as your Decatur DUI lawyer: 1) Don’t hire a DUI lawyer based solely on price. Sometimes the cheapest lawyer--especially if they plea you to a DUI you don't deserve at the first opportunity--can be the most expensive. Cost per hour is the best way to compare lawyers. If a lawyer charges $1000, but only spends an hour on your case, that's $1000 dollars an hour! We, unlike bargain basement firms, spend an average of 10 hours on every DUI case 2)  Ask any attorney that you speak with whether he/she has tried any DUI jury trials and how many not guilty verdicts he/she has received in the past 2 years; 3)  Ask any attorney that you speak with whether he/she has studied police field sobriety training manuals and breath test machine, owner's and area supervisor's manuals. If not, they cannot adequately cross examine DUI police officers or breath test operators. A DUI lawyer who can't answer these questions is not ready for a real DUI jury trial and is not worth your time and money.

Internal Affairs Misdirection: DeKalb County Police Commissioner Evades DUI Arrest

AUG. 8, 2012 - As reported by 11 Alive News, DeKalb County Police commissioner Stan Watson was visibly drunk and allowed to leave the Tanqueray Lounge on Glenwood Road before returning and requesting that someone drive him home. The commissioner became unruly after accusing a woman of stealing his wallet. A off duty cop working at the lounge attempted to calm the commissioner and wrote in his police report that the commissioner “was in no condition to drive,” but Watson left the lounge anyway and drove off in his car. The cop working at the lounge contacted a superior officer, and soon afterward Watson returned to the parking lot to request that someone drive him home. more
