Understanding New Jersey DUI and DWI Regulations

Lawyers With Alcotest® and Breathalyzer Training

Carmine Villani has received the same training for overseeing a breath test as NJ law enforcement. This understanding of breath tests and how to correctly administer them is an important asset to his clients. A breath test has to be performed in an extremely specific way. A breath test that hasn't been executed the right way by the officer can lead to reduced charges.

Field Sobriety Test Practices

The standardized field sobriety test (SFST) is not a perfect system and is not usually enough evidence to accuse someone of driving intoxicated. Although, a field sobriety test can be used to show probable cause. Mistakes do take place even with training to administer standardized field sobriety testing. If the test is administered wrong, it can disprove the readings of a breath test and lead to charges being lessened.

Understanding Drug Recognition Evalutation

Drug recognition evaluation (DRE) is the procedure by which law enforcement determines whether a driver is using drugs. Errors do occur when an officer uses the DRE to make sure a driver is doing drugs and driving. If a wrong step has actually occurred, your attorney will fight the charges on the grounds that the drug recognition evaluation was not implemented according to the law. Villani & DeLuca DWI lawyers are trained in exposing bad results so that they can protect the rights of clients.

Breath Test Refusal

Have you
refused to take a breath test in New Jersey? Refusal charges can result in heavier fines and punishments than driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. According to the implied consent laws in New Jersey, you may not refuse a breath test if it is requested of you by law enforcement and they have already established probable cause.
If you were pulled over under suspicion of drunk driving, a police officer must have probable cause in order to administer a breath test. Without any actual probable cause, your charges may not turn into a conviction.

DWI Checkpoints

If you are pulled at a DUI road block in NJ, you will be required to answer questions about your name and residence and to provide your license and registration. However, roadblock laws don't require you to respond to further questions from law enforcement. An officer also may not inspect your vehicle without probable cause to do so.
The events that occur at a DUI checkpoint leading up to an arrest will make a large influence on the way a trial plays out. A qualified attorney will be able to inform you whether you were treated appropriately at a DWI checkpoint.
