1) DUI DeKalb County, I-20, August 26, 2009: Alleged DUI Driver changed lanes without a blinker on I-20 in DeKalb County just south of Decatur, Georgia on April 15, 2009.  The other vehicle was in the alleged DUI Driver's blind-spot and probably passing in the right lane.  A Georgia State Patrol Officer in the speciality DUI unit called the Nighthawks who had just left a Mother's Against Drunk Driving meeting observed the alleged illegal lane change and stopped the driver on the side of I-20. Further, the trooper admited that his units DUI arrests were down in 2009 from 2008 and there had been discussions about how to increase DUI arrests.  Traffic was heavy, it was windy, and the traffic noise was very loud.  The trooper approached the vehicle and claimed the driver had slurred speech but the video show otherwise.  The driver exited his vehicle properly, walked to the rear of his vehicle properly, produced his license without trouble and did not visibly sway while speaking to the officer on video, although the trooper claimed that the alleged DUI driver swayed.  Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test (HGN) or eye jerking test was performed. An effective DUI lawyer cross-examination and the video clearly evidenced that the HGN was not performed according to the trooper's training and even if it had been, the HGN was only 77% accurate.  The walk and turn and one leg stand were performed poorly but the state could not prove that the unreasonable conditions on the side of I-20 were to blame as opposed to alcohol.  The alleged driver tested positive for alcohol consumption on the handheld breath test.  The Driver refused to take a state adminstered test of his breath under the implied consent law.  After reviewing the video, the Jury came back NOT GUILTY ON THE DUI and guilty on the failure to maintain lane.  The Defendant paid a $200.00 fine.
