The following actual case result achieved by Orange County DUI Lawyer EJ
Stopyro exemplifies how a DUI charge
gets reduced to a wet reckless. Here’s what happened:
While driving on the 405 freeway, Deborah was pulled over by
the CHP. The officer said he
paced her on his speedometer exceeding the speed limit by a few miles per hour.
The officer reported the usual signs of intoxication; a strong odor of alcohol
coming from Deborah, red eyes, slurred speech, and poor balance. Deborah failed
her field
sobriety tests and had a blood-alcohol of 0.15 percent. (About twice the
legal limit.)
Mr. Stopyro contested the legality of the initial stop. He
filed a suppression motion requesting that all the evidence be thrown out. This
motion forced the District Attorney to present competent evidence in court showing
that the speedometer of the patrol car used to “pace” Deborah had been properly
calibrated to ensure its accuracy. The DA agreed to reduce the charges against
Deborah to a single count of reckless driving if Mr. Stopyro withdrew the suppression motion.
