In an ideal world, Burbank DUI arrests would never happen. But we don’t live in an ideal world. Far from it. Instead, we live in a world in which Burbank DUIs are all too pervasive. What’s more, prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges, police, and the public all operate with false beliefs…
The experience of getting pulled over under suspicion of driving under the influence of Burbank (or elsewhere in the Golden State) can be explosive. Drivers and passengers are often terrified about what might be in store. Even if you consumed no alcohol, narcotics, or prescription medications, you’ve certainly heard stories…
The number of ways a Pasadena DUI accident could lead to injuries and fatalities is vast. Probably infinite. But there are certain types of accidents that are very unlikely to occur. For instance, DUI snow-cat arrests are zero every year because of Pasadena’s year-round warm weather. What about horses? Could…
Most people believe, without a shred of a doubt, that “a Burbank DUI would never happen to me… or anyone I respect.” This kind of thinking is understandable. After all, DUIs are only something that careless celebrities and recidivist alcoholics get. Right? Think again. In fact, the diversity of Burbank…
It’s one thing if you or a neighbor or a co-worker gets arrested for Glendale DUI. That, in and of itself, is kind of disturbing. But what if one of the nation’s top safety experts gets arrested for driving on the wrong side of the road while under the influence…
In a recent blog post, we enumerated the many unpleasant, repugnant penalties for Long Beach DUI. We won’t belabor them again, but they include jail time, massive fines, probation, mandatory installation of an IID, alcohol school, etc. But is that really the worst of it? In the worst-case scenario, you…
How much will your Pasadena DUI cost you, in terms of energy, freedom, and, perhaps most substantially, money? If you face Pasadena DUI charges, this question – and all the branches of thought that it generates – no doubt weighs heavily in your mind. A recent Fox Business news article…
If you’ve been arrested, and potentially convicted, more than once for driving under the influence in Burbank, you might find it useful to evaluate the fundamental problem that’s been getting you into trouble. As Will Rogers once famously intoned, “If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.” All well…
When you read in the paper (or on the blogosphere) about people getting arrested for driving under the influence in Glendale, you usually see those stories isolated of context. This is unfortunate, since the only way to extract useable lessons (including lessons about “what not to do”) is to contextualize…
Last Tuesday, Long Beach DUI checkpoints, patrols, and enforcement got a financial shot in the arm, when the LBPD received a California Office of Traffic Safety grant of $300,000, courtesy of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. According to a special report in the Long Beach Press Telegram, these funds…
