| Man Violates Probation As He Drives on a Suspended License |
| Posted By Admin |
|
Ruben M. Vasquez, who at 28, had two convictions for drunken driving was seen by an officer walking in a swerved manner.
Vasquez had just come from a hearing where a judge checked to see if he was meeting the terms of his probation consisting of not driving due to a suspended license.
The officer followed Vasquez for three blocks and then observed him getting into the passenger side of a van.
Vasquez then got on the driver's side and pulled away from the curb.
Vasquez was pulled over immediately.
Vasquez was arrested and his van impounded. Vasquez is likely to stay in jail until February of 2012 for violating his probation.
Authorities heavily monitor those people with at least two DUI convictions by staking out in front of their homes and following them to make sure they do not drive to and from their court hearings.
Last year, the unit made 104 arrests out of about 400 to 500 re-offenders they were monitoring. Vasquez's arrest marked the 100th of 2011.
Having your license suspended as a result of a DUI and then driving on a suspended license is a misdemeanor and does result in jail time.

| Accident Involving Two Drivers DUI, Leaves Three Children Injured |
| Posted By Admin |
|
Three children were placed under the care of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services this morning after a van in which they were passengers in collided with a car in Van Nuys. According to authorities, both drivers were driving under the influence of alcohol.
Sgt. Don Kelly of the Los Angeles Police Department's Valley Traffic, said the children were not properly secured in the van but fortunately none were seriously hurt.
The parents of the children had been drinking and called a friend to drive them home, but the friend had also been drinking, said R. Shaffer of Valley Traffic.
Not only were the children placed in danger with a drunken driver, but they were not properly seated as well. A 4-month-old girl was in a tub used to wash feet instead of a baby car seat. A 2-year-old boy who had not been placed in a child safety seat suffered a red bruise on his cheek, and a 4-year-old girl sitting between her parents on a back seat had lump on her left cheek, Shaffer said.
The Mustang driver, who was also driving under the influence, was taken to a hospital for treatment of more serious injuries, he said.
Both drivers will face DUI charges. The driver of the van will also be booked on three counts of felony child endangerment because "it was his responsibility to make sure the children were in the proper restraints when he was driving," said Kelly.
Investigators were also talking to the Department of Children and Family Services in regards to whether the mother should face charges in connection with the case.

| Former Sheriff's Deputy Gets Sentenced Doubled For Showing Up to Court Under the Influence |
| Posted By Admin |
|
A former sheriff's deputy who previously showed up drunk in court to face a DUI charge, had his sentence doubled today in court by an Orange County judge. He was sentenced to 32 months in prison.
Allan James Waters, 38, was supposed to receive a sentence of 16 months in state prison for his DUI conviction, but after appearing in court under the influence of alcohol, the judge withdrew the offer. James has been in custody since June 10 after a judge determined he was not fit to be sentenced.
Waters pleaded guilty April 7 to felony driving under the influence causing bodily injury, two felony counts of selling a substance in lieu of cocaine, nine felony counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud and a sentencing enhancement for causing great bodily injury to a 78-year-old woman.
During the June 10 hearing, court baliffs noticed Waters was showing signs of intoxication. He had unsteady balance and smelled of alcohol. One of the terms for his bail of $100,000 was that he was prohibited from consuming alcohol.
The prosecution requested an increase in bail, and Waters was taken back into custody on $250,000 bail. The judge postponed the sentencing at that time, but not additional charges were filed for this incident. At Friday's hearing, Judge Frank Fasel withdrew his previous sentencing offer of 16 months in state prison, due to the defendant's conduct. Water's accepted the new offer.

Police have confirmed that Ryan Dunn, 34, died early Monday morning in a car crash. Dunn was one of the stars from the show 'Jackass', and was known for pulling off some crazy stunts to the delight of his fellow thrill-seeking buddies.
The collision occurred at about 3:00 AM Monday morning, when Dunn's 2007 Porsche careened over the road's guardrail and into the wood before bursting into flames. It has not been confirmed if drunk driving was involved, however Dunn tweeted a photo of himself and two friends drinking just hours before the accident.
"Preliminary investigation revealed that speed may have been a contributing factor to the accident," police said in a press release. At this time the report categorizes the incident as an 'Auto Accident' rather than a DUI.
Both bodies suffered severe burns in the wreck and were initially unrecognizable. Police have confirmed that one of the victims was Dunn. The identity of Dunn's passenger will be revealed pending autopsy due out later today.
"Ryan was a wonderful person he really was the sweetest and nicest guy- he was like my extra son, everybody loved him," April Margera said.
A DUI charge can affect a person in many ways, whether it be emotionally or in their everyday life. A car accident involving a DUI can be an even more frightening experience.

| Faulty Breathalyzers Cause Prior Convictions to be Reexamined |
| Posted By Admin |
|
In January, Ventura county deputies first noticed a faulty reading on breathalyzer devices. They continued to see problems in seven more devices. Authorities said the Ventura county sheriff's department will remove all 125 machines from service, and prosecutors will reexamine some convictions. Capt. Mike Aranda said deputies are required to take two tests to confirm a breathalyzer's results and did not get consistent readings on the tests. "We were diligent," he said. "We were the ones that discovered the defects in the machines."
The Alco-sensor V breathalyzers were purchased in December with a state grant. According to Aranda, the sensors cost about $4,800 each. Chief executive of Intoximeters, Rankine Forrester, said testing showed similar results to those reported by Ventura officials, and the company was working on correcting the issue. "We are testing it to death to make sure we have corrected it before we implement it in the field," Forrester said. "It's a process. Obviously it's not in our interest to have instruments that produce erroneous readings."

| U.S Senators Are Requesting Apple to Get Rid of DUI Checkpoints Alerting Apps |
| Posted By Admin |
|
Senators are requesting that Apple and other companies remove the internet applications that inform motorists of DUI checkpoints. On Tuesday, four democratic senators wrote a letter to Apple, Google, and Research in Motion to persuade the companies to remove apps that provide users with information about DUI checkpoints.
"With more than 10,000 Americans dying in drunk-driving crashes every year, providing access to applications that alert users to
DUI checkpoints is harmful to public safety," according to the letter, which was signed by Sens. Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, Frank Lautenberg, and Mark Udall.
The senators asked the companies to remove the apps.
"One application contains a database of DUI checkpoints updated in real-time. Another application, with more than 10 million users, also allows users to alert each other to DUI checkpoints in real time," they wrote. "Giving drivers a free tool to evade checkpoints, putting innocent families and children at risk, is a matter of public concern."
Some History:
In 1993 the Michigan Supreme Court held that DUI roadblocks were unconstitutional, stating that warrantless stops were a violation of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. American citizens are not supposed to be stopped without reasonable suspicion to believe that they had committed a crime.
The United States Supreme Court later reversed that decision in Michigan V. Sitz. According to Chief Justice Rehnquist, the stops were violations of citizens' rights- but found that these were only minimal violations. The importance of ensuring safety on the highways outweighed the minimal violations. The court left to the states the role of determining how to minimize those violations.
In the landmark case of Ingersoll v. Palmer, the California Supreme Court set the guidelines mentioned in Sitz. The mandatory procedures included "advance publicity".
Advance publicity is essential to the maintenance of a constitutionally permissible sobriety checkpoint. Publicity not only reduces the minimal violations, but it also increases the deterrent effect of the checkpoint.
In State ex rel. Ekstrom v. Justice Ct. of State, supra, 663 P.2d 992, at page 1001 it explains the value of advance publicity: "Such publicity would warn those using the highways that they might expect to find roadblocks designed to check for sobriety; the warning may well decrease the chance of apprehending 'ordinary' criminals, but should certainly have a considerable deterring effect by either dissuading people from taking 'one more for the road,' persuading them to drink at home, or inducing them to take taxicabs.

The penalties involved with a DUI can be very serious and it is important to have an experienced DUI attorney on your side. At the
Hedding law firm, we have a combined 75 years of experience and have been successful in dozens of cases like these.
Any one of these goals, if achieved, would have the salutary effect of interfering with the lethal combination of alcohol and gasoline. Advance notice would limit intrusion upon personal dignity and security because those being stopped would anticipate and understand what was happening." |
