Over 100 DUI and Criminal Defense Legal Blogs

Here at David O Defense we are proud to announce that we have reached a new literary landmark by writing over 100 legal blogs!  In celebration of authoring so many literary DUI and criminal defense masterpieces we would like to revisit an oldie but goodie blog, “Know Your DUI Rights”.

Recognize this blog?  We hope you do, because the information in it is valuable and should be put into practice if ever needed.  It’s said repetition is one of the best techniques to anchor information into long-term memory, therefore we believe “Know Your DUI Rights” is worth repeating over and over.

Know Your DUI Rights

KNOWLEDGE is POWER! Know your DUI RIGHTS!

When questioned by law enforcement in Washington State about DUI make sure to exercise your rights.

1. Exercise your right to an attorney, either a private DUI attorney or a public defender.

2. Exercise your right to remain silent during the DUI questioning.

3. Do not consent to detention or search of any type of personal belongings, home, or vehicle.

4. Refuse to perform the DUI field sobriety tests!

5. Refuse to take the DUI portable breath test!

6. Do cooperate at the police station and take the DUI breath test or blood test, unless advised not to do so by your DUI attorney.

 

A special thank you to all those who have followed our blog, we hope you have found some of our writings informative and others entertaining!  We look forward to writing the next 100!

Vanessa Stiviano Is Dealing With A Lot, Including A DUI

Vanessa Stiviano Is Dealing With A Lot, Including A DUI

Vanessa Stiviano is dealing with a lot right now, including a court appearance today to prove she completed her community service for her 2012 DUI charge.

You may recognize the name Vanessa Stiviano or V. Stiviano if you watch Sports Center or read gossip magazines.  Stiviano is 31 years-old and her face is currently plastered everywhere for being the mistress to 80 year-old Donald Sterling, owner of the L.A. Clippers.  The same guy that shocked the world by making racist remarks to Stiviano for associating with black people.  Allegedly, Sterling told Stiviano she can do whatever she wants in private, including having sex with black men, but should not post photos of them on the internet or bring them to Clipper’s games.  Vanessa Stiviano is a mix of black and latina, but Sterling said he could overlook her ethnicity because she appears more like a “delicate white or delicate Latina girl.”

V. Stiviano’s DUI arrest occurred last year on September 22, in Los Angeles while she was driving a red Ferrari that Sterling gifted her.  The same red Ferrari that is now involved in the lawsuit that wife Shelly Sterling has filed against her unfaithful husband, claiming she is owed half the value of all gifts given to V. Stiviano, which include the Ferrari, a Range Rover, two Bentleys, and the return of a 1.8 million dollar duplex.

Today in court, Vanessa Stiviano reportedly proved she completed the 130 hours of community service, paid her fines, and completed all programs that were court ordered during the resolution of her DUI.

24 Year-Old Man Crashes Into A Moving Train While DUI

24 Year-Old Man Crashes Into A Moving Train While DUI

Unbelievable but true. On April 12  a man was arrested for DUI in Oregon for driving his vehicle into a train!  Allegedly a young man by the name of Kyle Randall, drove his car into a moving train around 5am.  The vehicle got caught up on the train and dragged 300 feet down the track, catching fire from all the friction.

Randall some how managed to escape safely from his car, without any major injuries.  But instead of calling for help, Randall decided to get familiar with the local neighborhood, knocking on doors to see if anyone would let him in so he could take a nap.  True story!  Unlucky for Randall no one allowed him to take a nap on their couch…..surprising.  Instead, one of the neighbors called the local police and reported him.

When law enforcement approached the area, they could see a large mushroom cloud of smoke in the distance, later discovering it was Randall’s car. Kyle Randall was arrested for DUI and was taken to the Marion County jail.  His BAC (blood alcohol content) was twice the DUI legal limit.  Oregon and Washington share the same DUI legal limit of .08 BAC.

At first glance, this case may look like major poo-poo for Randall.  However, an experienced DUI attorney will be able to look beyond the train wreck and explore all the legal issues.  Good news for Randall there are a lot of issues with this case.  Hopefully Randall has hired a great DUI attorney that will take the time necessary to develop and present them.
