Dwi
Hi Guys,
Last night I got pulled over by a rookie cop and ended up arrested for dwi, after "failing" the sobriety test. Funny part is that I was sober and only had 1 cup of wine during dinner, 2 hours prior to be pulled over. I asked the officer to do the breathalyzer test but he said it was not available and that would do it at the station. Once there they draw my blood and sent me to jail. Took me 18 hours and 500 bucks to get out of there.
Do you guys have any idea what route should I take here? Any good and budget friendly lawyer I can contact?
Thanks

Good, and budget friendly, are not terms I would ever want to use together when talking about my lawyer. That said, I would find a good lawyer, and pay him what he asks. DWI is serious business and you don't want one on your record. Especially if you really weren't drunk.

Do not drink and drive. What did you blow?

I didn't drink not even close to the limit. He didn't let me do the breathalyzer. I asked for it cause I know I would come under the limit if not zero.

Not. They said it takes a couple days to get the results.

If you asked for a breathalyzer, and they were unable to give it, then you have nothing to be concerned about. A rookie lawyer could clear that charge with the dashcam evidence.
I'm about as FTP as they come, but the story (as told) does sound a little suspect. Good luck!

I asked more than once. I remember the second time I was already inside the car.

Why would I lie here if I'm looking for help. Otherwise I would say that I was drunk and how could I get a break, but that's not the case. I seriously had only one glass of wine.
Guess is bad luck and wrong place at the wrong time. Let's see what the lawyer will say.

What test did you fail?

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

If it was the backwards alphabet thing, I'd be pissed because that's hard sober.
