Book Description

Publication Date: May 10, 2011

This book is the most accessible, down-to-earth guide that discusses a drunk driving charge (other terms include DUI, DWI, OWI). The Survival Guide is an essential product to store in every vehicle s glove compartment box. Learn various investigative techniques used by law enforcement officers to trick people into a confession and their eventual arrest. Also discover how prosecutors manipulate the system and evidence to get a drunk driving conviction. Everything you need to know is inside this easy-to-understand empowerment manual. The contents contain all the information you need to be informed about a drunk driving charge. The topics covers include the following: 1) Understanding the legal definition of driving under the influence; 2) Criminal punishment and driver s license sanctions; 3) What to do if and when you are stopped by the police and suspected of drunken driving; 4) What is necessary to prove intoxication; 5) Understanding field sobriety tests and all the inherent errors; 6) Understanding chemical testing and its fallibility; 7) Criminal defenses that are available to succeed in getting an acquittal, and 8) All the ins-and-outs of a substance abuse evaluation and assessment, such as drunk driving classes, education, and treatment. This book is the Ultimate Survival Guide of the new millennium. Drunk driving is considered the most socially abhorrent criminal offense of our time. Police departments are spending money at an exorbitant rate to deter this offense (and raise revenue for the state). MADD Mothers are nationally organized to influence state and federal legislation to impose harsher penalties (fines, jail, and license suspensions). It is time to fight back. Knowledge is power. Read this book and you will have all the necessary tools at your disposal to avoid a drunk driving arrest and conviction.
