Memphis DUI Lawyers Protect Your Rights

May 29, 2008

In April Memphis law enforcement participated in a massive cooperative law enforcement action called “Operation Sudden Impact”. Targeted at terrorism , in Memphis alone there were 71 arrests and 202 traffic citations issued.  This type of sweeping patrol pattern reflects a consistent law enforcement rationale of using traffic stops as the primary means of investigating other crime.  The Highway Safety Desk Book, written for police officers by The National Highway Safety Transportation calls this a “two for the price of one” approach to law enforcement because it is cost effective for precincts to operate in this manner. 

In order to convict for a DUI the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the driver is driving above the legal.  Breathalyzer tests should not make a DUI charge a DUI conviction. Tests can be inaccurate, flawed, and administered improperly.  Officers may have acted improperly in proceeding with an investigation into your case.  A lawyer can help insure that your rights are fully protected and that you have a skilled advocate to tell your side of the story.  Our Memphis DUI lawyers understand what all of the testing methods are, and most importantly what they are not.
