<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Because DUI Marijuana Enforcement
is rapidly increasing, we are seeing more and more DUI Marijuana cases in the
County of Orange and throughout the State of California. If you were charged
with DUI Marijuana, especially if you use marijuana frequently, do not just
plead guilty because if you are charged again in the future with a DUI, you
will not be charged as a <a href="https://www.oc-duilawyer.com/First_Offense_DUI_Penalty.html">First

According to another Orange County Sheriff’s Department Press Release, deputies from the Orange County’s Sheriff’s Department (OCSD) conducted an undercover “Court Sting” operation at the Harbor Justice Center in Newport Beach, California on Monday, March 14, 2016 – this is not the first time that the OCSD has conducted these types of “Court Sting” Operations. As some of you may recall, on Monday, June 1, 2015, (which was discussed in another one of my <a href="http://oc-duilawyer.blogspot.com/2015/06/just-another-reason-to-hire-dui-lawyer.html" target="_blank">DUI blogs</a>), the deputies conducted a similar undercover “Court Sting” operation at the Harbor Justice Center in Newport Beach, where, like here, offenders who had been told of their license suspension due to DUI or who had never been issued a driver’s license were staked out.</div>

Drinking is very much a large part of St. Patrick Day
celebrations and often leads to incidents of drinking and driving, which should
be avoided. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So if you are going to be celebrating this St. Patrick’s Day, or
even over this St. Patrick’s Day Weekend, be mindful of the dangers associated
with drinking and driving. If you have consumed too much alcohol, call a taxi,
Uber or Lyft, or even a good sober friend, to drive you home from wherever you
may be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day!</div>

had been deployed, apparently from hitting the tree; thus prompting an <a href="https://www.oc-duilawyer.com/Illinois-DUI-Tree-Grille.html" target="_blank">Illinois DUI Charge</a>.</div>

There was a story in the Chicago Tribune about a young man
named <a href="https://www.oc-duilawyer.com/DUI-Hit-Run-Blog-I.html" target="_blank">Matthew Lucchini</a>, who at only 26 years of age was charged with
misdemeanor DUI, misdemeanor leaving the scene among other things, and it
caused me to post this blog about the charge of <a href="https://www.oc-duilawyer.com/DUI-Hit-Run-CVC-20002.html" target="_blank">Hit & Run</a> in California.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
California Vehicle Code Section 20002 makes it a misdemeanor
to fail to stop at the scene of an accident with property damage only and
requires, like California Vehicle Code Section 16025, that the driver supply
his or her name and address and that of the owner of the vehicle if different
from that of the driver involved in the accident. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In addition, CVC § 20002 requires that: “[u]pon locating the driver of any
other vehicle involved, if requested,” presentation of:</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<ol>
<li>Driver’s license.</li>

<li>Vehicle owner’s driver’s license or other identification, if present.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A failure to comply with the above-referenced requirement will expose the driver to a Hit and Run Charge or, if done in connection with a DUI Charge, a DUI Hit and Run Enhancement.</div>

Recently there has been a flurry of activity about the issue of whether lowering the legal limit from 0.08% to 0.05% is the answer to the question of whether this will reduce the number of DUI offenses or whether pushing for harsher DUI Penalties is the answer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Both positions have merit. This post examines the pros and cons of each perspective.</div>

Some would argue the declining
numbers are as a result of more educated drivers avoiding DUI by not consuming
alcohol before driving; however, there is contrary argument, which is that
there is little to no DUI enforcement these days and this explains the
reduction in the number of DUI arrests not the educational components.</div>

The National Transportation
Safety Board (NTSB) has been encouraging states to lower their current
legal blood alcohol content limits for drivers from .08% to .05%, or even
lower, claiming that the change would save lives.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
What is most intriguing about the
NTSB recommendation is that the “Mothers Against Drunk Driving founder, Candace
Lightner, who led the successful national campaign in the 1980s to crack down
on drunk driving after her daughter was killed in an alcohol-induced accident,
doesn't support the proposal,” stating: "I don't believe it is a practical
long-term solution," she told U.S. News. "You could go to 0.0 and
that would save lives. You could go to a 40 mph speed limit and that would save
lives, but you have to look at what's realistic."</div>

Two stories have prompted me to write this blog about those wrongfully convicted and to answer the question I am frequently asked, which is: “How can you defend drunk drivers?” or "How can you defend criminals?"</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The reality is that there are several legal concepts that often go unnoticed by the public at large and even juries, one of which is the “Presumption of Innocence.” Another is “Proof Beyond a Reasonable Doubt”. And I believe another significant one is the "Circumstantial Evidence" instruction. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
All of these rules of law that apply to jury deliberations are oftentimes glossed over by judges and prosecutors alike, thus leaving the jury to their own devices and oftentimes leading them to apply the wrong standard of law to their deliberations. Public opinion does not help in the cause to reduce the number of wrongful convictions.</div>

As we progress through the debate as to whether DUI is increasing or decreasing and analyzing all of the statistical data from 2015 as we deal with the issue of DUI in 2016, I wanted to post a blog about the Infancy Stages of <a href="https://www.oc-duilawyer.com/Marijuana-Breath-Testing.html" target="_blank">DUI Marijuana Breath Testing Devices</a> and what you can expect to find as we as a society begin to move toward legalizing marijuana.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this blog , the different types of devices being test are reviewed and the states leading the charge are listed, namely Colorado and Washington; however, many states, including California, are looking toward these two states to determine which breath testing devices they choose as they too make their decision as to which device or devices to use in California.</div>
