Arizona DUI Lawyer Daniel Jaffe
Phoenix, AZ - Arizona DUI taskforce patrols will be out around the Phoenix area and throughout Arizona this weekend prior to the 4th of July. Patrols will continue through the mid-week 4th of July holiday.
The task force has a single goal. They want to make as many DUI arrests as possible.
"If you leave a bar behind the wheel, don't be surprised if you are pulled over for making a wide turn," said Phoenix area DUI defense lawyer Daniel Jaffe. "It happens all the time, and even more so during saturation patrols." See Mr. Jaffe's profile at http://duiarizona.com/
Jaffe, who has already done 10 DUI jury trials this year alone in the Phoenix area, knows that officers often do whatever it takes to have a look at motorists. "It's like fishing. Pull them over for a wide right turn. If there's no alcohol on board, then they throw them back and stop the next person."
All too often the motorist stopped has been drinking.
In Phoenix, usually it means a trip to the Phoenix DUI Van. See http://duiarizona.com/
Then, assuming the case is a misdemeanor, the person is usually released with the instruction that they are free to get a blood test to prove their innocence. For those that try to get a blood test, it is usually a problem.
"Emergency rooms are busy, and their lowest priority is your non-medical emergency" says Jaffe. "By the time you are at the ER asking for a blood test, you have a legal emergency, not a medical one. The doctors and nurses are too busy sewing up wounds from bar fights, gunshots and accidents to worry about helping you prove that you weren't DUI."
The best advice anybody can give to avoid the taskforce patrols is not to drink and drive.
