Video evidence

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Charles D. Scott (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Offices of Charles D. Scott PLLC
The video in the intox room is intended to prove that the breath test was administered according to the established rules and procedures. For example, was there a 20 minute observation period?, were you offered a breath test?, did you refuse the breath test?. Anything you may have said in the form of admissions could be used against you.  Miranda applies to interrogation, questions such as "have you been drinking?", how many drinks have you had?", etc.  The video in the intox room may have admissible evidence recorded.  A lawyer could file a motion to suppress evidence if you were being questioned and not read your Miranda rights. If all that happened is that you were shooting the breeze with the officer, probably not any interrogation taking place and as such no need to read Miranda, and nothing harmful on the video. The case law says that you don't need to be read Miranda before taking a breath test because it is not interrogation,  and your are not entitled to a lawyer when making the decision to take or refuse the breath test.

Is it necessary for a lawyer to be present for a first offense DUI.?

David William Olson
Answered by attorney David William Olson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Offices of David W. Olson
Absolutely, you should consult with an experienced attorney, who would have many questions about the many issues inherent in any DUI matter.  Those questions would address details of the initial stop and detention, whether there was probable cause to justify the officer's request for a breath test, how it was requested, and many other issues.  It would be very unwise to receive the extremely damaging blemish of a DUI conviction on your record and to suffer its consequences without fully investigating and testing the prosecution's case.  Remember, you are presumed to be innocent, and although mere probable cause is required for an arrest, the much higher standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt is required for a conviction. Regarding your driver license, you do have both the ability to challenge the suspension and to seek a hardship permit.  There are time limitations, however, and these issues would also be addressed during the consultation that you should seek.

If your friend got a DUI in your car, can your car get inpounded?

Harley Ives Gutin
Answered by attorney Harley Ives Gutin
DUI/DWI lawyer at Gutin Wolverton
That can happen. Typically on a DUI plea or conviction the Court orders that the car the defendant was driving be impounded for ten days as that is required under the law. Most judges will either waive that requirement or allow another car to be impounded. Impounded means not used for ten days. The impoundment of the car can be a company comes out and puts a lock on the car. If the car was impounded (literally) during the arrest then there could be other issues such as drugs found in the car or some other reason the car was impounded.
