Spent the last few months battling in court over officers who "assumed" without facts. My son fell asleep at the wheel of his truck one morning while going to work. He crossed the medium and hit an empty (thank God) parked car. When the officer got to the site, my son was getting out of his truck, dazed. The officer booked him as DUI, took him to the local hospital for a consented blood test, then took him to jail. When I bailed him out the officer told me they were not looking at alcohol but for drugs. This happened the middle of Dec. and we had a court date the middle of January. My son plead not guilty but requested to retain the right of an attorney until the blood evidence returned. The judge instructed him to return to court 02/01 with legal council although he knew the blood evidence would not be back. $500. for an attorney, and blood was not back by 02/01, continued till 03/01. Blood evidence came back 0 alcohol and 0 drug. The police officers notes said no evidence of alcohol/drugs in the vehicle nor on his person. During all this ordeal I sat through alot of traffic court hearings. In my state, if you can prove it was 70 mph speed limit, they will drop the 3 miles over. 100 ft signal before lane change, whats up with that?? As you said, you are SOL about the license being expired. Bring proof of insurance that was current on the day of the traffic violation with you to court, judge should throw it out. Remember us when you become the police officer, my father and brother were both on the force so I do have encouraging memories. Luck to you.
