How is Impairment Measured?
Impairment in DWAI drugs cases is usually measured by a combination of physical observations, behavior during field sobriety tests, and results of chemical blood tests. Trained law enforcement officers may look for signs of impairment such as slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, or lack of coordination. A positive chemical blood test can also serve as evidence of impairment. Always remember, you have the right to legal counsel to ensure fair treatment.
At Cambareri & Brenneck, we are well-versed in the challenges and dilemmas criminal defendants face as they navigate our justice system. Our firm comprises former prosecutors with an intimate knowledge of how the accused are processed in the state of New York.
Can I Refuse?
At Cambareri & Brenneck we regularly examine whether or not:
- There have been rights violations against our client.
- Violation of search and seizure laws.
- There are misconduct issues.
- There are pieces of evidence that should be suppressed.
- There have been chain-of-evidence issues.
- There are witnesses (or other evidence) that dispute the state's version of events.
What Do I Do when Pulled Over?
When pulled over, it’s crucial to remain calm and respectful. Provide your identification, driver’s license, and registration when requested. You’re not obligated to answer any further questions without your attorney present. If you suspect that you might be charged with DWAI by drugs, assert your right to consult with your Syracuse DWAI drugs attorney as soon as possible.
When it is appropriate, Cambareri & Brenneck will advocate for our clients’ eligibility for these programs. For more information on the allegations against you, the possible penalties, and what our team is prepared to do to secure the most favorable outcome possible, call our offices today.
