Utah DUI and Ignition Interlock Devices
If a person is convicted of a DUI and the breath test was over a .16, most courts will require the person to put an ignition interlock device on any car they own and any car they drive. If a person has more than one conviction within 10 years, it is mandatory by state law to have this device. The device is basically a breathalyzer that will not allow a car to start if the driver has alcohol in their system. Kutv News did a story on this which I have posted below in the continue reading button. Here’s the problem that many clients experience with this device:

Should I plead to a Metabolite DUI?
I was discussing a case with a prosecutor today. He made the offer that my client plead to Driving with a Measurable Amount of a Controlled Substance in his system. This is basically the same thing as a DUI, except the prosecution does not have to prove any impairment or level whatsoever. The only thing they have to show is that the person had a small amount of the byproduct of a drug in their system. The only defense to this charge is that the person has a valid prescription for the controlled substance. Should the person plead to this charge? My answer is if there is another way around it, don’t plea to. I suggested a Drug Related Reckless charge. The prosecutor asked why? Here are my four reasons?

Utah DUI’s and Suppression Hearings
Many times, after being hired, I get the reports, the video, and any other evidence I can gather. I then look at that evidence to determine if there is a way to get the case dismissed as quickly as possible without going to trial. If I see an issue, I file a motion to suppress the evidence and ask for a hearing for the Judge to determine if evidence should be suppressed. Many people don’t understand this process. This is a video of a suppression hearing that took place in Logan, Utah. This case started in the North Logan Justice Court. That particular judge denied my motion. I appealed the motion to the District Court. The Judge at the District Court suppressed the evidence based on an illegal pull over. The Judge, in his ruling, stated "we are not a police state yet!"

Breath Tests Thrown Out!
I have a friend in the State of Washington named Andrea Robertson. Excellent Attorney. She sent me an email this week about a huge mess that is going on in Washington. The gist of the mess is that the State Toxicology Lab staff violated ethical boundaries (lied in quality assurance affidavits), were sloppy in their testing of samples, and did not do things according to their procedures. Andrea assisted Ted Vosk in mounting the allegations and bringing to light the horrible injustice that occurred because of the "good guys", the government. The order specifically talks about the corners cut by the head people.
Here is a copy of the order from the judges.

Utah DUI Charge or just talking on your cell phone?
The first thing an officer will look at when they are "hunting" for a DUI in Utah is the driving pattern. I have had numerous cases where the officer describes somewhat of a driving pattern in states my client swerves or weaves a couple of times. Many times, my clients will tell me they were talking on their cell phone. Talking on your cell phone may be dangerous and it may be against the law in some jurisdictions, but it does not mean that you are impaired by alcohol and/or drugs.
