Our Chicago DUI Lawyers found yet another tale from the “war” on drunk driving.  This time it’s an 82 year old Alberta, BC native who had her car towed, was fined, and lost her license, not because she had been drinking, but because she couldn’t blow hard enough into a breathalyzer.  Bravo, Mounties. B.C. senior snared [...]

Our Chicago DUI Attorneys have written about prior “No Refusal Weekends” here in Illinois.  (See DUI No Refusal Weekends In Jeopardy and Kane County No Refusal Weekend Is Back). The State of Texas, it seems, has taken “No Refusal” to a whole new level.  Threats of being strapped down to a chair and stabbed by a needle [...]

Our Chicago DUI Lawyers have long argued that Breathalyzers are faulty. See Faulty Breathalyzer Leads to Nearly 400 Improper Convictions, More Faulty Breathalyzers Used To Convict People Of DUI, DUI Breathalyzers Found To Be Faulty, and A Decade Worth Of Bogus Breathalyzers Tests Discovered. No surprise to us that, once again, hundreds of DUI Arrests [...]

Our Chicago DUI Lawyers found this interesting tidbit from the latest PR on the City of Chicago Budget: Impose increased fines for neighborhood safety violations, including DUI… The problem with this is that these fines the City is referring to are assessed at the time of arrest before any trial has taken place or any charges are [...]

Our Chicago DUI Lawyers have blogged numerous times about about the police helping other officers who are stopped under suspicion of DUI  (See Off Duty Cop Gets Pass On Suspected DUI).  This latest story out of Houston, TX takes it to a whole other level.

This isn’t the first time our Chicago DUI Lawyers have heard about multiple DUI arrests for the same person in one night; but when the second arrest is 15 minutes after the first arrest – that has to be some kind of record. WASHINGTON, Pa. – Police have charged a man in western Pennsylvania with drunk [...]
