If Arrested for DUI
If you've been arrested for DUI understand you do have several different options and, as Fullerton criminal attorney Michael L. Guisti explains, one of which is whether you were really DUI at the time of your arrest.
The biggest problem with DUI testing equipment is it's notoriously faulty and so many possible things could cause a false DUI reading, says Guisti.
If you have cold that could cause a false reading if you've been taking a lot medicine, nearby radio equipment and cell-phone towers can cause false readings, and even what's in the air can cause false readings, explains Guisti.
DUI tests are notoriously flawed, but under Title 17 the way the tests are administered and blood tests are handled must follow very strict guidelines, and if police even slightly break the rules or it's found the test couldn't provide an accurate reading as outlined in Title 17 then your case is dismissed, explains Guisti.
It's very important to know if you've been arrested for DUI there is a hidden time-bomb, because you only have ten days from the day you're arrested to make an appointment with the DMV for your driver's license hearing, which your attorney can take care of, says Guisti.
They're a lot of things that can cause a false DUI reading, which is why you need to contact the professional Orange County DUI attorney at the Law Offices of Michael L. Guisti.
