Was my DUI checkpoint stop illegal?

Gregory Casale
Answered by attorney Gregory Casale (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Gregory Casale, Attorney at Law
Alcohol checkpoints in MA are subject to very strict rules about who they can pull over and how the cars to be pulled over are selected. It sounds like they did not follow their procedure since the stops are supposed to be random, based upon a system of numbers or some other non-discriminatory manner. Since they singled you out, they probably violated the requirement and you may be able to have to stop thrown out. You will need a lawyer and you really shouldn't waste time in hiring one. I practice mainly criminal defense and DUIs are a large part of my case load.

Do I have to do jail time?

Cynthia Russell Henley
Answered by attorney Cynthia Russell Henley (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Cynthia Henley
Hire a lawyer. You have not stated why you were arrested except to post under DUI. They have to prove that you were intoxicated by alcohol or drugs - not just tired or anxious.

Can i get charged for a dwi still if the officer did not take me to jail that night?

Richard Keith Oliver
Answered by attorney Richard Keith Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Office of Rick Oliver
Yes, you can still be charged. If the arrest was only 5 days ago, the most pressing issue is the ALR. If the officer confiscated your DL, he will have sent that paperwork to Austin. So, the clock is ticking. You have only 15 days from the date of arrest to contest the 6 month suspension of your license. I specialize in DWI cases, and can tell you that I handle the ALR on every single DWI case I'm hired on, provided I am hired within that 15 day window. It gives us an opportunity to fight to prevent the suspension. Also, it's our only real opportunity to get live testimony from an officer prior to trial.  As for the arrest, here's what will happen. The hospital should have drawn the blood. It will then be sent to a lab to be tested for the BAC level. Once the report is issued it will be sent to the agency that requested the testing (the arresting agency and/or the DA's office). If the BAC is at or above a .08 either a warrant or a summons will issue for your appearance on the case.  Right now there's a pretty significant backlog for blood testing at the labs. So, it could take up to a couple of months before you hear anything back on the blood. But, don't wait. Again, you can still fight the ALR; and it's an important piece of the discovery process in a DWI defense.
