REDUCED OR DISMISSED DUI
Can a DUI case be dismissed?
If an officer has NO probable cause, the evidence and the DUI case may get dismissed. An arresting policeman must have a reasonable suspicion or belief that you are engaged in criminal activity before stopping your vehicle. Speak with a local attorney immediately to see if your Bosie DUI charges can be reduced or dismissed.
Alcohol breath testing can be faulty or unrealiable, leading to DUI dismissal, such as:
Improperly administered by the police
Instrument malfunction
Poor observation of defendant prior to testing
Stomach, physical, or blood conditions
These are just a few of the possibilities where a DUI charge is dropped. If these, or other conditions are purposely manipulated or ignored, evidence that was illegally obtained or fabricated will be thrown out, or even possibly police misconduct. Depending on how severely this impacts the prosecutor’s case, he may choose to reduce or dismiss your charges.
