Without the breathalyzer the only thing they will have to go on is the officer’s testimony which will leave the “reasonable doubt”. Expect the criminal charges to be dismissed and the mandatory suspension of your license. Unless something else is going on that I don’t know.
They usually have a video recorder in the processing or waiting room that they will admit as evidence to show you was drunk. As long as you were not slurring and staggering you should be ok.
3 beers and you were at .06 which is legal. BUT who knows what you would have blown. Could it have been 4? 5 beers? Then you absolutely did the right thing.
DO NOT tell your lawyer anything but this… You had 2 beers. Tell him 5 and some may have this moral dilemma about letting you take the stand and perjuring yourself. Unless they were in the room with you it was 2 beers. The cop will say the obvious, I smelled alcohol, he was slurring, and he was weaving, etc etc. Expect the cop to lie his ass off because that what he will do. ADA’s will actually TELL a police officer what the story is before he testifies. Doesn’t matter what the story is, the ADA will tell you. [/B]
This sounds about right except the cop also gave me the roadside sobriety test.....
If they had a camera that will be worthless to them. I didn't say anything or even move that much. The only thing I said was "Yes" to understanding my rights and "No" to answering any questions. Even in the cops car when he was asking me why I was driving drunk I was only responding with "I haven't been drinking sir"
What happens when I tell my lawyer and judge I only had 2 beers, then the cop goes on about how I couldn't walk a straight line? I mean, I can't really walk a straight line anyway w/ out tripping alittle bit (lol).
Oh yeah also, don't forget, I'm under the legal age to be drinking.
