This tricky technique is described in DWI Detection and Field Sobriety manuals like this:"PRE-EXIT INTERVIEW TECHNIQUES" " A basic purpose of the face-to... Read Full Story
Much ado has recently been made about the number of New Hampshire drivers arrested for DWI who choose not to blow into breath testing gadgets after their DWI arrests. It has been noted that 81% of drivers arrested for New Hampshire DWIs refuse to blow into the police breath gadgets.

As the powers that be scratch their heads and... Read Full Story

Some drivers are faced with a dilemna when they are stopped by police and interrogated about drinking and driving: should the driver tell the police about prescription medication use? The police will be curious about this, and the question about prescription medications usually precedes field sobriety testing. Answering questions about prescription medications may seem logical and innocuous to the law abiding citizen; answering these questions at the roadside is perilous though. It is... Read Full Story
Most people use their boat in the case of fishing in ponds, lakes, or other small bodies of water. But when they want to have under your boat in large bodies of water, make sure you have the insurance needed to pay for the trailer, water damage or other incidents that may occur. Bass boat insurance, which includes towing or removal of water is important, as many marinas and rescue companies charge by the hour. This means that while the ship can be saved, we owe a lot of money. Car Towing... Read Full Story

Two of these cases were dropped because the cop was suspended based on far-fetched testimony in another one of my cases in August... Read Full Story

This seems incredible to citizens who have been snared in a New Hampshire DWI roadblock, with the obviously huge cost in terms of large numbers of police officers, vehicles, signs, advertising and self-promotion, breath testing gizmos, etc. Why do the police choose not to videotape these massive seizures of innocent...
