Can I Be #Arrested for #Buzzed Driving? Find Out What this #DefenseAttorney Can Do for You

Newsflash from your Hollywood Attorney:

You may have viewed the growing number of public service announcements pushing the message that buzz driving is the same thing as drinking and driving. For many viewers this is confusing. What really is buzzed driving? Can you really get arrested for buzzed drinking and driving? When it comes to drinking alcohol and driving, how much alcohol is too much?

What is buzz driving?

“Buzzed driving” is basically defined as driving while intoxicated. However, the intoxication level may not be over the legal limit to be considered driving drunk under the California Vehicle Code. Drinking enough alcohol to give you a buzz may possibly cause impairment, however, the impairment may not be enough to cause you to receive a DUI charge under the per se statute, California Vehicle Statute 23152(b). It may fall under another section, California Vehicle Section 23152(a), if the level of impairment is affecting your ability to safely operate a motor vehicle.

The Legal Limit in the U.S.

The legal limit for intoxication varies according to the driver’s age and occupation. For instance, if you are a commercial driver, the legal limit is 0.04 percent. There are two limits for individuals under 21 years old according to state law. It’s either:

•0.02 percent.

•Zero tolerance. This refers to an individual not have any alcohol in his or her bloodstream.

Otherwise, the legal limit is under a 0.08 percent.

California Law Regarding Buzz Driving and DUI

California’s primary DUI is defined in the vehicle code section 23152. It is illegal to drive while under the influence of alcohol when your blood alcohol concentration level is at 0.08 percent or higher.

The second part of that law pertains to buzzed driving. According to the law, it is also illegal for anyone under the influence of any alcohol to operate a motor vehicle. A driver can be stopped by police and arrested for drinking and driving even if he or she is buzzed.

Wet Reckless Charge

If you’ve been charged with DUI for being buzzed while driving, there is a possibility you can be plead to a lesser charge. The plea is called “wet reckless.” A wet reckless plea means you were driving recklessly because you had alcohol in your bloodstream. Essentially you plead guilty to having alcohol in your system while you were driving. However, you contend that you were not under the influence of alcohol.

For many individuals arrested for buzzed driving, a wet reckless plea can get their initial DUI charge reduced. Yes, there are still penalties for a wet reckless conviction. However, they are not as severe as DUI penalties.

If you’ve been arrested for DUI, you have legal options. To learn more about those defense options, contact the Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin today. As a former prosecutor, Jonathan Franklin knows both sides of a DUI case. Thus, he’ll aggressive defend you against a DUI charge, whether it is negotiating a favorable plea agreement or taking your case to trial.

Ramifications of a 2nd #DUI Arrest and How a this #Lawyer can Help

Newsflash from your Hollywood Attorney:

DUI ConvictionA DUI conviction can have severe consequences though it is certainly not the end of the world and something you can recover from. However, if you are convicted of a second DUI within a two year period, then you could be considered a habitual offender, and your DUI charge can carry much harsher penalties and consequences.

If convicted, you can expect the penalties to be stiffer this time around. You can expect a mandatory jail sentence of up to 30 days, fines of up to $2,800, attendance of DUI school and alcohol program, and probation of three to five years. A judge may also order to have an ignition interlock device installed on your vehicle. Your license will also be suspended for up to two years with eligibility to apply for a temporary driver’s license after one year.

The ramifications are obviously severe and can also have a serious impact on your finances, family and career. Due to the severity of the consequences, you should contact a Los Angeles DUI attorney to serve as your legal counselor both in and outside the courtroom.

While having a prior DUI on your record certainly doesn’t help, it doesn’t mean that the prosecutors have an airtight case against you. Your lawyer will carefully review the evidence and look for any holes in the prosecution’s case. While no defense attorney can guarantee a dismissal, you stand a much better chance of an outcome in your favor if you have a lawyer standing up for your rights.

Labor Day weekend is quickly approaching. For many Americans that means an extra day off, backyard and beach barbecues, visiting friends and family, and the unofficial end of the summer season. Unfortunately, it also means a sharp increase in driving under the influence (DUI)-related traffic fatalities.

Starting Thursday, August 14, 2014, and continuing through Monday, September 1, 2014, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the California Highway Patrol and other law enforcement agencies throughout the state will be aggressively targeting drunk and drugged drivers as part of a nationwide effort to end impaired driving and save lives. The Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign will pair increased public awareness with high-visibility enforcement, resulting in fewer drunk drivers on Los Angeles roads.

The Avoid the 100 Los Angeles County DUI Task Force will be aggressively looking for impaired drivers throughout the region with plans in place for 64 DUI/Driver License Checkpoints, Multi-Agency Strike Teams, 27 roving DUI Saturation Patrols, DUI Warrant/Probation Sweeps and DUI Court Stings targeting suspended drivers who were ordered by the judge not to drive.

Don't Suffer Let Me Help You with Your Driver’s #License #Suspension #DUI

Newsflash from your Hollywood Attorney:

After a drunk driving arrest, you may think that your most important task is the recovery of your vehicle. While that is an important step in getting your life back to normal, your troubles have just begun. You face some tough decisions about your legal representation.

A DUI arrest triggers two legal actions-a criminal DUI charge and an administrative proceeding that will likely result in a driver’s license suspension. You will need a Driver’s License Suspension Lawyer who can address both problems.

The Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin is an experienced DUI / drunk driving defense and criminal defense law firm. We represent clients in both the criminal proceedings and driver’s license suspension and restoration actions, including those involving commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs).

Contact us at 310.273.9600 to schedule your free consultation. Our goal is to help you deal successfully with both the criminal defense and the DMV aspects of your DUI arrest.

Do Not Delay Hiring a Beverly Hills Drunk Driving Defense Attorney

Following a DUI arrest, you have 10 days in which to request a DMV hearing regarding your driver’s license. If you do not ask for a hearing, you will get an automatic license suspension. Attorney Jonathan Franklin has extensive experience representing clients in both the criminal proceedings and in the driver’s license hearing related to a DUI arrest.

Our firm may be able to prevent your driver’s license suspension. If not, we will seek to help you obtain a temporary driver’s license that will enable you to go to and from work and perform other necessary tasks.

Driver’s License Restoration

The California Department of Motor Vehicles does not automatically restore your driver’s license. You have to ask for it and demonstrate to their satisfaction that you deserve your license. The Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin can also seek the full restoration of your driver’s license following a DUI conviction or a license suspension for traffic violations.

For a free consultation with the Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin, contact us at 310.273.9600. Our phones are answered 24 hours a day.

"Glee" Gets Copied by China "My Youth High Eight Degrees" Questioned for Plagiarism

Newsflash from your Hollywood Attorney:

A hit new Chinese musical TV drama is coming under fire on the country's social media for "copying" Fox's global smash Glee reported China Daily on Wednesday.

My Youth High Eight Degrees, which debuted with good ratings on Zheijiang Satellite Television two weeks ago, stars Chinese stars Wu Xiubo, Qu Ying, Zeng Zhiwei as well as several contestants from reality talent contest Voice of China like Li Qi and the Mushroom Brothers.

The drama is set in a university and tells the story of an eternally optimistic glee club director played by Wu Xiubo who leads a gang of misfits with hidden musical talents, whipping them into shape and competing in the national choir competition. Sound familiar? Well, Chinese social media users are already calling out the producers of Eight Degrees for lifting the plot, setting and characters directly from Glee.

China Daily collected a series of messages from Sina Weibo users that blasted the makers of Eight Degrees for copying and for its completely implausible set up given the Chinese school system.

Sina Weibo user pengpeng87821, who is verified as the editor of News Center at Qionghai Radio and Television Station, wrote: "Isn't this a spinoff of Glee? Not only is plot the same, the characters, conflicts and stories are all so similar. Are there really no good writers in China? Why must we copy others?"

Sina Weibo user Evelyn said: "They have brought the script straight off Glee, but things like that are not likely to happen in Chinese schools."

Shanghai Canxing Culture & Broadcast Co., one of the co-producers of Eight Degrees, defended the show and responded to the plagiarism accusations by saying they worked with American producers of Glee on developing the script. "The structure of this drama was set through bilateral discussions. There are many similarities in the plot, but our version reflects the pursuit of music by China's youth today," the company said in a statement.

Chinese entertainment companies have been regularly accused of plagiarizing Western TV and film properties, including film posters -movie-poster-rip-offs and whole jokes from popular U.S. shows.

Don't Take Chances Know this 1st - #Breathalyzer, Blood, Urine, and Field #SobrietyTests #DUI #DRUGS

Newsflash from your Hollywood Attorney:

A DUI charge or conviction can stand or fall on the reliability and accuracy of a breathalyzer, blood, urine, or field sobriety test. Since a field sobriety test is used to establish probable cause for making an arrest, if conducted improperly, the DUI charge against you may be thrown out of court. Alternatively, if a breathalyzer wasn’t calibrated properly or blood drawn and tested according to proper procedure, their results may be deemed unreliable and inadmissible in court. At the Law Office of Jonathan Franklin, we understand the technical and forensic issues involved in breathalyzer, blood, urine, and field sobriety tests.

If you’ve been arrested for DUI, don’t assume you’re automatically guilty because a DUI test came back positive. To schedule a free, confidential consultation to discuss your case, contact Beverly Hills DUI Lawyer Jonathan Franklin today.

Administering the Field Sobriety Test
The vast majority of police departments use the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Student Manual when administering field sobriety tests. There are, however, multiple instructions regarding where and how a test should be given, what to do if a suspect tries to balance momentarily on one leg, raises his arms more than 8 inches, or stops for a second or two. The manual also states a field sobriety test should be given on dry, flat pavement. As your attorney, Jonathan Franklin inspects the area where a test was administered and reviews dashboard video camera footage if available. In reviewing how a test was given, Mr. Franklin identifies departures from instructions and protocols as outlined in the student testing manual in order to ask the court to dismiss the charges against our clients.

Breathalyzers and Blood Alcohol Content
Like any other piece of equipment, breathalyzers must be regularly maintained to ensure they function properly. If a breathalyzer isn’t calibrated correctly, its results may not be accurate. Additionally, how a breathalyzer test is given can affect the results. For example, did a police officer wait 20 minutes before administering the test? Did he or she change the mouthpiece between tests? Were you asked if you had used mouthwash recently? Were told to take multiple deep breaths and blow as hard as possible into the device? As your attorney, Mr. Franklin can inspect the maintenance record of the breathalyzer used in your arrest and can check to see if it has ever registered a false positive in another DUI case.

Blood Tests and DUI Charges
While blood tests may provide a more accurate measure of blood alcohol content (BAC), a number of factors can taint or compromise the sample taken. For example, did the person who took your blood swab your arm with alcohol first? Secondly, in order to prevent a blood sample from coagulating, tubes with preservatives inside are often used. These kits almost always have an expiration date. If a kit was used in your blood test, is there any proof that it was not expired? On a more technical note, whether or not the blood sample taken was mostly plasma or whole blood can also affect the results of a blood test. As your attorney, Jonathan Franklin raises these and other issues when there are grounds for questioning blood test results.

Urine Tests and DUI Charges
Urine tests are not as accurate as blood or breathalyzer tests because water can stay in a person’s body over a long period of time. This is a concern in cases where a person’s BAC is measured near or slightly over .08%. Additionally, like blood tests, urine tests can detect drugs in a person’s body. As a result, even if you don’t test positive for drunk driving, if trace amounts of illegal drugs are found in your system, you could still face criminal charges on driving under the influence. The fact that you last used one or two weeks ago doesn’t matter — you’ll still be charged with a crime.

Contact Beverly Hills DUI Attorney Jonathan Franklin
Just because you tested positive for drunk driving doesn’t mean you were drunk or that the officer had probable cause to arrest you. To schedule a free consultation to discuss your case, contact Beverly Hills DUI Attorney Jonathan Franklin today.

#DUI -- Law Offices of #JonathanFranklin Provides #Tips on Avoiding a DUI

Newsflash from your Hollywood Attorney:

It is important to remember to have a designated driver when hitting the road after consuming alcoholic beverages. It is also important to note that prescription drugs and any other drugs that impair a person's ability to safely operate a motor vehicle can cause that person to be arrested for Driving Under the Influence in the State of California. Extreme caution should be exercised before getting behind the wheel of a car after consuming alcoholic beverages, using any medications, or drugs.

If a person is arrested for Driving Under the Influence, it is not the end of the world. With the help of a competent attorney, a person can overcome the difficulties found in this situation. Drunk-driving arrests trigger administrative hearings that can result in the loss of driving privileges. A DUI Defense lawyer can help to retain the license or obtain a temporary driver's license. This hearing must be scheduled within 10 days of the arrest.

DUI Lawyer Los AngelesA first-offense DUI is typically a misdemeanor, unless there are aggravating circumstances, such as an accident with injuries, where the District Attorney's office may file it as a felony DUI. Regardless of the particular circumstances of the arrest, the State of California takes any DUI, even a first offense, very seriously. The prosecutor will seek a conviction unless presented with evidence or testimony that weakens or undermines the case.

DUI Lawyer Beverly HillsTherefore, drivers should be careful and not operate a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol, medication, or drugs.

If you find yourself in the unfortunate circumstance of a DUI arrest, the Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin will be open throughout the holiday weekend. Please contact 310-273-9600 to schedule a convenient time to discuss your situation.

#DUI #Checkpoints July 25-26 Plus Message from Your Defense Attorney

Newsflash from your Hollywood Attorney:

Even a single, momentary distraction while driving can cause a lifetime of devastating consequences.

DUI Checkpoint's for June 25-26, 2014

JULY 25, 2014
Police activity in Fremont, Ca.
Police Activity in Pasadena, Ca.

Redondo Beach Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/Drivers License Checkpoint on July 25, at an undisclosed location within the city limits between the hours of 7:30 p.m. to 2 a.m.

JULY 26, 2014
Police activity in Bakersfield

“Over the course of the past three years, DUI collisions have resulted in 66 injury crashes harming 92 of our friends and neighbors,” said Sgt. Chuck Prestia.

Officers will be looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment with officers checking drivers for proper licensing delaying motorists only momentarily. When possible, specially trained officers will be available to evaluate those suspected of drug-impaired driving. Recent statistics reveal that 30 percent of drivers in fatal crashes had one or more drugs in their systems.

A study of active drivers showed more tested positive for drugs that may impair driving (14 percent) than did for alcohol (7.3 percent). Of the drugs, marijuana was most prevalent, at 7.4 percent, slightly more than alcohol.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), checkpoints have provided the most effective documented results of any of the DUI enforcement strategies, while also yielding considerable cost savings of $6 for every $1 spent. Nearly 90 percent of California drivers approve of DUI checkpoints.

DUI Checkpoints are placed in locations based on collision statistics and frequency of DUI arrests affording the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence.

Locations are chosen with safety considerations for the officers and the public. Drivers caught driving impaired can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to include jail time, fines, fees, DUI classes, other expenses that can exceed $10,000 not to mention the embarrassment when friends and family find out.
