Unconstitutional DUI / Driver’s License Checkpoint Santa Maria, California 9/10/10

California DUI Attorney — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 23:15:59 +0000

SANTA MARIA, California — Santa Maria Police Department conducted yet another unconstitutional and illegal DUI / Driver’s license checkpoint as part of California Office of Traffic Safety’s (OTS) “Year of the Checkpoint” campaign for 2010. The Santa Maria checkpoint was only one of more than 2500 (ostensibly) OTS-funded checkpoints which are due to be carried out within the state of California during 2010. (Following the money trail, the funding actually traces back to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which is an agency under the federal Department of Transportation (DOT), which is a cabinet position under the President of the United States.) If OTS’s “Year of the Checkpoint” campaign is successfully carried out, then California drivers will endure more than 208 of these unconstitutional / illegal checkpoints per month. “To my knowledge, California conducts more checkpoints than any other state,” said OTS Director Christopher J. Murphy. While DUI checkpoints were officially (if unconstitutionally) sanctioned by the Supreme Court’s Michigan vs. Sitz case, driver’s license checkpoints were not. However, a quick survey of police department websites reveals that most DUI / sobriety checkpoints are dual purpose; that is, police officers regularly check for driver’s licenses in addition to checking for driver impairment. Even though driver’s license checkpoints are not legal according to case law, most drivers are unaware of this fact and so the …

Understanding Felony and Misdemeanor DUI – Daniel M. Smith

California DUI Attorney — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 23:10:59 +0000

Understanding Felony and Misdemeanor DUI in California. Welcome everyone to the DUI Minute, a series of educational videos brought to you by San Diego Defenders. Hi I’m Dan Smith, your host, the supervising attorney for San Diego Defenders, and I want to remind you that today’s video is not to be construed as legal advice but merely as pointers to help you navigate through the DUI process. Today’s subject is what is the difference between a felony DUI and a misdemeanor DUI? Well to start with, a felony DUI is more serious and it sounds more serious. Generally speaking if you’re driving under the influence or driving with a greater then .08 blood alcohol content and you get into an accident for instance and somebody gets hauled off in the ambulance, generally speaking that is going to be charged as a felony DUI. I can give you another example: I had a client that was driving along and hit a parked car that was while the individual was changing his tire. The individual got a scrape above his eye, had to be hauled off, and got a couple stitches. That constituted an injury. If it’s a DUI with injury generally it will be charged as a felony. The second most common area that you will see a felony DUI charge is when you get to your fourth DUI; it’s not a place that you want to be in. But after you get past your third DUI the state can charge your fourth DUI as a felony, and they will be looking for prison time. A misdemeanor DUI again is your typical DUI you hear about from your …

The Ultimate California Drunk Driving Accident Legal Survival Book

California DUI Attorney — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 18:50:59 +0000

Product Description

I am California auto accident attorney Mark C. Blane and I began my legal career helping ordinary folks obtain justice from their injuries due to the negligence of another. I went to law school knowing I did not want to represent corporate interests; I wanted to be able to look a client in the eyes and help them in their time of need. If you or someone you love has been injured in any type of accident, I want you to know that you have my sympathy. As an injured accident victim myself, I understand the pain and feeling of helplessness that comes with being in an accident. I also understand the journey to recovery first hand.

I wrote this book to explain the mysteries surrounding a California drunk driving accident & injury case, and what you can do to educate yourself in the process. I want to make sure you understand your legal rights if you or a loved one was injured in a car accident by a drunk driver. The book discusses the legal rights of a drunk driving accident victim in the criminal and civil courts in California. It explains the laws on filing personal injury claims against the persons and businesses that serve alcohol to the drunk driver prior to an accident and discusses the victimâ€™s right to California Insurance benefits after an accident. The insurance laws in California that apply to car accidents are very complicated and change on an almost daily basis.
