In many cases, drivers facing a Maryland DUI think that it is an open and shut case if they fail roadside tests or chemical tests. In reality, Howard County, Maryland DUI lawyers know that chemical tests and roadside tests are not always accurate.
With the help of Howard County, Maryland DUI attorneys, this fact can be proven and can potentially help you avoid facing conviction for a Maryland DUI.
Howard County, Maryland DUI lawyers are aware that certain steps must be taken for a chemical test or roadside test to be admissible. These steps include …
- If the officer had reasonable suspicion of a law violation before stopping you
- If the officer has probable cause for the arrest and for asking you to perform a roadside test
- If the officer informed you of your right to refuse to take a portable breathalizer test
- If the officer had probable cause for arresting you and requiring a chemical test to be taken
- If the officer provided your Miranda rights before interrogation
If the prosecution fails to establish that each of these procedures was properly followed, Howard County, Maryland DWI defense lawyers can get the test results invalidated.
By getting these tests invalidated, your DUI lawyer can make it much more difficult – if not impossible - for the prosecution to prove its case against you.
