DUI (.051 BAC) REDUCED to SPEEDING TICKET – State v. Ms. R. (DMC No. 5916) (South Mountain Justice Court TR05-53302CR): Ms. R. was going 65 in a 40 mph construction zone when the officer moved out of the way and then pulled her over. Ms. R. asked to call an attorney and the officer said “if you call your attorney now, we will arrest you and the field sobriety tests are not admissible in court anyway”. She submitted to the test and was arrested. Due to the officer’s Denial of Ms. R.’s Right to Counsel, we got her DUI reduced to a Simple Speeding ticket with a small fine.
