Today marks the first day of Summer. A time of year most of us spend our activities outdoors. Bar-B-Q’s. July 4th Celebrations. Summer festivals / concerts. Golfing. Fishing. Boating. Star gazing. Lawn darts. Landscaping. Gardening. Name it. Most of us are outside enjoying the warm weather and lack of rain. Suffice it to say, increased alcohol consumption is no stranger to many of these Summer pastimes. And it is certainly not a correlation lost on law enforcement either. You can be sure to expect to find Washington State Patrol, Clark County Sheriff’s Deputies and the various police departments from Vancouver, Camas, Washougal and Battleground enforcing the rules of the road and looking for DUI violators.
That said, we are all human and we all make mistakes including police officers. A DUI arrest does not necessarily have to result in a Driving Under the Influence conviction. Fact: Innocent conduct can be misconstrued as an illegal activity. I am a criminal defense attorney in Vancouver, WA dedicated to defending your rights under the law. Call me today to schedule a free, in-person consultation. I will walk you through the various diagnostic tools I use when I examine a drunk driving case — starting with the vehicle in motion to the BAC datamaster room. Don’t be embarrassed to pick up the phone and make the call. It could just be one of the most important phone calls you’ll ever make.
