Fishkill, NY DWI and DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

Many police departments do have dash cams in their patrol cars that record stops and arrests on video. A microphone is worn by the police office to pick up the audio portion of the arrest. There are two components to a DWI arrest, one criminal and one administrative. The administrative portion deals directly with your driving privileges.

While DWI cases often seem skewed in favor of the prosecution, there is some chance that an assertive defense showing that too few Field Sobriety tests were completed, and that for physical reasons you could not perform one of them, might be helpful in challenge the grounds for the arrest. Some counties are tougher, some easier, on dropping DWI down to Reckless Driving, but it can be accomplished at least some of the time. Please keep in mind that if the cop has grounds to believe you were driving while impaired by alcohol, you can still be charged, even if the chemical tests are suppressed.
