DUI Attorney Bexley Ohio (Video For Rent) A DUI in Ohio is a very serious charge — even for a first offense OVI conviction. Penalties could include mandatory jail time, fines, loss of your driver’s license as well as other consequences to your employment. Whether your case is in the County Municipal Court or in a mayor’s court, speaking with an attorney about your options for your Bexley DUI charge is highly recommended. Many Bexley DUI attorneys provide free initial case reviews. You should at the very least review the basics of your case with an attorney so that you understand the potential penalties you are facing and your possible options going forward. Even if you don’t decide to hire a Bexley DUI attorney, it is good to know your options in court. WHAT ARE SOME POTENTIAL DEFENSES TO A Bexley DUI CHARGE? When a new DUI client walks into our office, one of the first things we ask is what happened. We want to know the facts underlying the stop, any search performed, any tests taken, any conversations between our client and the police, as well as examine any paperwork given to our client by the police. With this information, we begin to analyze potential defenses to the OVI charge. A few examples of possible OVI defenses include: (1) The Initial Stop or Search. One of the first things we look for is whether the initial stop by the police violated in any way our client’s constitutional right to be free of unlawful search or seizure. In the case of a traffic stop, did the officer have reasonable suspicion that you had committed a traffic or criminal offense? Was there an anonymous tip or another insufficient reason to stop you? Click here for more information about when the police are allowed to stop, pull you over, and/or question you. If not, the stop may have violated your 4th Amendment rights. The police are not allowed to pull you over just because they have a hunch that you look suspicious. They have to be able to point to specific facts supporting their suspicion that you have committed a traffic or criminal offense. If they can’t, then anything that happened once they stopped you cannot be submitted into evidence (including, for example, any field sobriety test results or breathalyzer results). (2) Breathalyzer Machine. Was there a problem with the administration or calibration of the breathalyzer machine? If the breathalyzer was not properly calibrated before or after your test, the result could be invalid. (3) Urine or Blood Tests. Driving under the influence of marijuana or other drugs is an increasing focus of Bexley police and Ohio State Highway Patrol. An increasing number of cases involve urine tests, which present unique issues to be examined by defense counsel. Were the urine or blood tests properly collected? Were they contaminated in any way? Was there any other food or medication that could have influenced the result? (4) Field Sobriety Tests. Was the officer properly trained in field sobriety testing? Did the officer demonstrate and administer all of the tests correctly? Did the officer properly administer the eye test? If the officer made a mistake in explaining or demonstrating the tests, the results could be thrown out. (5) Video, Reports and other Evidence. Once we obtain a copy of the video of the stop, does it clearly show the field sobriety tests? Was there some reason that the field sobriety tests were not recorded?
