QUALITY ASSURANCE
BREATH TESTING PROGRAM.
In Nassau County a person arrested for a DWI is not permitted to
have a second breath test if they request it, nor will the Police
administer a blood test to them if they request it. This is the
policy even though it is the most accurate test. Scary, when one
considers that A PERSON CONVICTED OF A FIRST TIME DWI OFFENSE
FACES UP TO ONE YEAR IN JAIL as well as other severe
consequences. Under the law, a person has a right to
have a blood test from a doctor of their own choosing.
It is imperative that you
hire a DWI Defense Law Firm that Concentrates in DWI Defense Law.

SHOULD I TAKE A BREATH TEST WHEN ASKED TO DO
SO BY THE POLICE? In the United States and inclusive of every
State within, a defendant never has to prove that they are
innocent or sober by doing anything. In other countries like Iran,
North Korea and China, Defendants have to prove they are innocent.

If a motorist refuses to
submit to a chemical test after being arrested, upon his
arraignment, his or her driver's license will be immediately
suspended by the court. The driver's license will remain suspended
for 15 days or until the date of the DMV hearing, whichever comes
first.

Being arrested for Driving While Intoxicated
(DWI) or impaired by drugs doesn't have to be a devastating
experience. While a conviction for DWI can lead to a revocation of
your driver's license, increase in cost of auto insurance, jail
sentence, probation, forfeiture of your automobile, and loss of
your reputation, most DWI cases in New York State can be
successfully defended by an experienced DWI defense attorney.

GETTING YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE
BACK. Under New York's Prompt Suspension Law, a motorist's
driver's license must be suspended by the court if the reading is
over .08. This driver's license suspension will remain in effect
as long as the DWI case is pending. However, it is possible under
certain circumstances to expedite the return of your driving
privileges.

CIVIL FORFEITURE OF
VEHICLES-PROTECT YOUR CAR
Under Nassau County Local Law

Office will bring a civil action against you and the owner (if you
borrowed it) of the vehicle you were driving seeking forfeiture of
the vehicle if the arrest was made by a Nassau County Police
Officer. Under the current DWI Laws in Nassau County, any
conviction for an alcohol offense involving driving a motor
vehicle permits the Nassau County Attorney to seek forfeiture of
your vehicle.

Breathing technique: A person's breathing
technique (the way a person blows into a breath testing machine)
will effect the accuracy of the reading produced on the machine.
To produce a .10 on a Intoxilyzer 5000, the machine actually
detects less than 1 millionth of a fluid ounce of alcohol in the
breath sample. This amount is smaller than a pin head.

JUST BECAUSE
A PERSON IS ARRESTED FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS DOES
NOT MEAN THEY ARE GUILTY. DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS CAN
BE SUCCESSFUL DEFENDED.

TRIAL BY JURY: By applying the presumption of innocence and
reasonable doubt a jury will often acquit an accused DWI driver.
The grossly unfair treatment by the Legislature and by District
Attorneys Offices of DWI Drivers charged with DWI prosecutions, as
opposed to other crimes, is appalling when one considers the lack
of recent efforts that the NY State Legislature and County
District Attorney Offices have made in the prosecution of Drug
Cases.

One only has to look at the newspaper,
Newsday, to see the enormous amount of money that a Police Officer
can make from stopping and arresting people they accuse of driving
while intoxicated or impaired. The amount of money a Police
officer can make in stopping, arresting, and then testifying
against a person accused of drunk driving is not only mind
boggling, but is highly relevant to their credibility and the
guilt or non-guilt of the accused.

The first and foremost safeguard is
called duplicate testing, which is the testing
of two separate breath tests which should be taken from a suspect
within 5 minutes of each other. This is the cornerstone of
quality assurance in breath testing. Duplicate testing
should not be confused with replicate testing which is merely the retesting
of the same sample. Duplicate testing has been used throughout
the Country for several decades, and was used by the New
York State Troopers, Nassau County Police Department, Suffolk
County Police Department, as well as every major Police Department
in the State even though the Statute did not require it. It is
done to ensure quality control in breath testing programs and was
deemed a necessary safeguard in preventing false high readings, or
inaccurate results of a breath test.
http://nydwihelp.com/social_media.htm
The Nassau
District Attorney’s Office, as well as District Attorneys Office
across the state and country, are searching Social Media Web pages
like Facebook, MySpace, among others Social Media Websites to
gather information against people arrested for DWI and other
crimes to use in the prosecution of those accused of a crime.
Many times this will include downloading pictures of suspects and
their friends, and potential witnesses depicting these individuals
drinking alcohol or engaging in some other behavior which may be
deemed inappropriate or embarrassing with the purpose of using it
to cross examine the defendant and his witnesses. Although
the Prosecutors are not permitted to contact or communicate with
Persons that are represented by the a lawyer, allegations have
been leveled at various District Attorneys Offices of the practice
of “friending” those individuals they are prosecuting under
assumed names, to gather private and restrict information. There
is no prohibition from doing so to potential defenses witnesses
however.
