After the officer made generic DUI observations, my client failed the roadside tests and was arrested. He refused the breath test. Result: Since Miami Beach police does not use video to film the arrest, it was easy to cast reasonable doubt on the roadside tests. My client was read the Florida Implied Consent, but the officer mentioned a urine test which the officer had no reason to ask for. The State was forced to offer my client a reduced charge to reckless driving. 22 Case No 06018283 MM10A - BROWARD COUNTY - JUDGE POLLACK Facts: My client was stopped by Deputy Brown for running a red light. Deputy Mohammed was called to the scene and offered roadside tests and she refused a breath test and a urine test. Result: This case is still pending and the State appealed the judge’s ruling that all evidence after the stop be suppressed. When I argued the motions in this matter, the Deputy truthfully testified that he had no recollection of the specifics of the roadsides that he had given my client several months earlier. Based on this, the judge suppressed the roadsides and the arrest. 23 Case No. 06025144 - MM10A BROWARD COUNTY - JUDGE FEINER 2nd DUI Facts: My client was stopped by Deputy Passman for failure to maintain a single lane. The Deputy also said that someone had called 911 to report that a man driving a blue Ford 150 was all over the road. The Deputy had my client perform roadside tests which he failed and refused the breath test. The Deputy also found illegal drugs in his vehicle. Result: This case is still pending and the State appealed the judge’s ruling that all evidence after the stop be suppressed. When I argued the motions in this matter, the Deputy truthfully testified that he had no recollection of any of the roadsides conducted. He could only read from his police report as to how my client did . Based on this, the Judge suppressed the roadsides, the arrest and the illegal drugs found in his golf bag. 24 Case No. 06004847 MM10A - BROWARD COUNTY - JUDGE POLLACK Facts: My client was driving on I 75 when his vehicle struck a work truck parked on the side of the road. The trooper took blood since my client was unconscious. The blood results had my client three times the legal limit .23. Result: This case is still pending. I deposed the paramedics who helped my client out of his vehicle and into the ambulance. The both said that in the ten to twenty minutes they helped my client he was conscious and responding to questions. They also did not remember any odor of alcohol coming from my client or any other DUI observations. I filed a motion to exclude the blood and the arrest because the trooper had no reason to take blood and if he did, he needed to read my client Implied Consent since he was not unconscious. The judge believed the paramedics testimony and suppressed the blood and the arrest. 25 Case No: 4223 EGV - DADE COUNTY - JUDGE Mc WHORTER - June 2007 2nd DUI within 5 years Facts: My client was involved in a slow pursuit police chase on Collins Avenue. When the officers stopped my client and pulled him from the vehicle, my client complained of chest pains and they thought he was faking a heart attack. He was taken to the hospital and blood was taken. He had a .217 blood alcohol level. Result: At trial I had explained to the State that the blood result would not come into evidence because the officer thought my client had faked the illness and in order for the blood result to be used the standard is that a breath test would be impossible or improbable. The State was afraid that I would be able to exclude the blood result, which was the entire evidence against my client, so they dismissed the case with the intent to re-file the case again.
