Why #Police #Mistaken Bad #Driving for #DUI

Newsflash from your Hollywood Attorney:




Have you ever notice an individual speeding, rolling through a stop sign or swerving while driving? It’s easy to assume that the driver is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. That is not always a true assumption. He or she may just be a poor driver. In fact, there are several types of poor driving behavior that are unrelated to drinking alcohol or consuming drugs. Yet, they are as dangerous—maybe even more dangerous—than driving under the influence, or DUI.

Here are several examples of poor driving that can be mistaken for DUI:

Distracted Driving

There is no doubt you’ve heard about distracted driving. There are commercials and public service announcements devoted to this type of poor driving because of the increase in smartphone and cellphone use. Distracted driving has become more dangerous than driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

A study conducted by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, or VTTI, showed how likely drivers are to be involved in a car accident. The study revealed drivers were 23 times more likely to be involved in a crash who texted while driving.

Why? Any time a driver’s mental, manual or visual attention is taken off the driving task it leads to the same drunk driving behavior. Police may stop a driver under the belief that a traffic violation occurred and the driver was intoxicated, when in reality the driver was distracted and not paying attention to the road.

Mechanical Failure

Faulty steering, brake or another type of mechanical vehicle malfunction can cause a driver to lose control of his or her vehicle. Also, mechanical failure can cause erratic driving patterns or even car accidents. An investigation may show that a driver’s behavior was not caused by alcohol or drugs, but his or her defective vehicle or vehicle part.

Fatigued Driving

Driving while tired has similar effects of driving while under the influence. An individual may be unable to focus on driving. For instance, he or she may swerve in or out of her or his own lane. There is also a chance of the driver falling asleep while driving and causing a car accident.

A recent study conducted in Australian found that sober drivers kept awake for more than a 24-hour period actually drove worse than drunk drivers. The study also found that there was basically no difference between chronic and acute sleep loss. They both can severely impair a person’s driving abilities.

Carelessness

Of course, no driver is perfect. A simple careless act or mistake could cause an assumption that a driver is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. You may be accused of drunk driving. However, your blood alcohol concentration, or BAC, wasn’t high enough to fall within California’s 0.08 percent or more per se statute. Your carelessness or simple negligence may be to blame.

The Seriousness of a DUI Arrest

You may be pulled over and arrested for DUI. However, your driving mistakes have nothing to do with consuming alcohol or drugs.

Bad driving may result in a traffic violation like running a red light or texting while driving. These violations are punishable only with fines and points added to your driving record. A DUI is more serious and nothing to take lightly.

In California, DUI is either a felony or misdemeanor depending on the circumstances involved. If you are convicted, you could face prison or jail time, depending on the facts of the case. This is addition to probation, community service, court fees and fines you may also pay.

If you are accused of DUI, it’s time to start fighting. You may know that you were not drunk. However, the prosecution is determined to prove otherwise. Contact the Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin to start resolving your DUI

What a #California #Prosecutor Doesn't Want You to Know about Your #DUI Case

Newsflash from your Hollywood Attorney:





After a driving under the influence arrest, you probably feel hopeless. You believe the police have so much evidence against you that you’ll have to plead guilty or face a conviction. You think that the prosecutor has a slam dunk case against you. Remember this: You’ve only been arrested and/or charged with DUI. You’re not convicted of any crime. There are four other things to remember about your DUI arrest and/or charge:

• You do not have to plead guilty.
• You can challenge the DUI charge.
• You can hire a DUI defense lawyer to fight for and protect your legal rights.

There are facts that a prosecutor does not what you to know that could change the outcome of your case in your favor.

Here is the information a prosecutor may not want you to know:

The Police Can Damage the State’s Case by Making an Arrest without Cause

According to the U.S. Constitution, a police officer must have reasonable suspicion or probable cause to:

• Conduct a traffic stop.
• Start a DUI investigation.

In other words, running a red light or weaving in and out of your lane are types of potential infractions that an officer may try to rely on to justify the stop over your vehicle and subsequent DUI investigation. An officer cannot stop you just to ask you a question or because he or she thinks you look drunk.

Field Sobriety Tests Aren’t Always Accurate

Field sobriety tests are hyped up to be mistake proof. They are allegedly so easy that a sober person can complete them flawlessly. Do not believe the hype. Field sobriety tests are not always accurate or simple to complete. There are many reasons why someone would fail one or all of the field sobriety tests and not be drunk. For instance, a clumsy person could fail the walk and turn field sobriety test. There are other reasons why these tests are not always accurate like a:

• Medical condition you have.
• Police officer’s inability to provide correct, specific instructions.
• High heeled shoes.
• Physical inability to perform one or more of the field sobriety tests.

Breath Tests are Just as Inaccurate as Field Sobriety Tests

The government brags about how accurate the chemical testing such as Breathalyzers are that there is a penalty for not taking the test. What a prosecutor does not want you to know is that certain things can make a Breathalyzer inaccurate. In other words, your blood alcohol concentration, or BAC, is not near, at or above the legal limit. Also, there can be a margin or error that can be factored into the equation in an effort to ascertain your correct BAC. Here are the things that causes a Breathalyzer to produce a false high reading:

• Your diet.
• Various foods.
• Amount of food in your stomach.
• Mouthwash you used.

Obtain Representation for Your DUI Charge

You were arrested for DUI and you have a right to be represented by a defense attorney. At the Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin, you will find the representation you need to aggressively defend yourself.

The team of lawyers at the Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin know how to use the secrets that prosecutors don’t want anyone to know to their advantage. Whether it is challenging the chemical tests or the reason why you were stopped, the goal is simple. Get your case resolved successfully, whether it is reduced, dismissed, settled favorably through a negotiated plea agreement or with a not guilty verdict after a 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.

Jonathan Franklin is a dynamic law firm providing aggressive criminal and DUI defense to clients throughout the Southern California area. This year saw a major, 14 percent drop in the number of DUI arrests compared to 2013. Save a Life, Don't Drink and Drive!

Information on DUI
If you are arrested in California for DUI (called DWI in other states), a series of legal events begins that can result in a jail sentence, a fine, and the suspension of your driver’s license. If you have already been convicted for drunk driving, the penalties for DUI increase. It is essential that you are represented by experienced counsel who can successfully deal with the various issues growing out of the arrest. In California, a person charged with DUI will have their license confiscated by the arresting officer. You will be given a piece of paper that functions as a temporary license. Your temporary license should indicate that your license will be suspended within 30 days unless you schedule a DMV hearing to resolve the matter. You have only 10 days after your arrest to schedule a DMV hearing. You will also have an opportunity to enter a pre-trial motion to suppress evidence or dismiss the charges against you if an officer failed to follow proper procedure or stopped your car without reasonable suspicion.

The Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin has helped numerous clients face and overcome the challenges that a DUI arrest presents. Contact us at 310.273.9600 to schedule your free consultation. We may be able to help you.

After a DUI Arrest in Los Angeles
We represent clients in drunk-driving cases, including:
First-time DUI
Felony DUI
DUI with injuries
Driver’s license suspension and restoration
Hit-and-run
Traffic violations

If you are a student at UCLA, USC, or any other local college or university, an underage DUI arrest can affect your ability to get a driver’s license and create other complications for you. If marijuana is found in your car as well, a drug possession conviction could affect your eligibility for financial aid. We can review your situation and case and discuss how best to resolve your underage or drug possession charge.

Achieving a Positive Outcome in DUI Cases in Los Angeles
Just because your breath or blood-alcohol tested .08 or above does not mean that conviction on the charge is a certainty. There may be procedural, mechanical, or biological factors on which a successful defense can be based. For example, the police may have made an improper stop. The breath or blood test may not have been conducted correctly. Or, the breath testing machine may not have been in proper working order.

The Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin will thoroughly investigate all of these factors and conduct a vigorous defense. Possible outcomes in this situation might include dismissal of the charge, a reduction of the charge, or victory at trial.

An Experienced Plea Negotiator – Los Angeles DUI
In some DUI cases, however, a trial may not be the best solution. It may be better to negotiate a plea agreement that enables you to move forward in your life without the expense or risk of a trial. Criminal defense attorney Jonathan Franklin is a former prosecutor and an experienced negotiator. He has a record of success in negotiating and obtaining reduced charges and mitigated penalties for clients in the Los Angeles and the Southern California area. When it is appropriate, he will seek such an outcome for you and present you with all of your options.

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.

Jonathan Franklin a Los Angeles #DUI #Defense Attorney Can Help With The Legal System

Newsflash from your Hollywood Attorney:





Getting arrested for driving under the influence in California can feel like the worst thing that has ever happened to you. However, it is only the beginning. Being arrested in California for a DUI starts a series of legal events that starts with the arrest and booking process and can end with a hefty fine, the suspension of your driver’s license and possibly even jail time. If this is not your first offense, the penalties for subsequent arrests become much more severe.

When faced with a possible DUI conviction, it is of the utmost importance to retain an experienced Los Angeles DUI attorney as soon as possible. A qualified attorney will take the necessary steps to preserve your rights while you work through the process. By California law you must schedule a DMV hearing within 10 days of the DUI arrest. If this hearing is not scheduled within 10 days you will lose your license. In the first stages of the process, your attorney will have the opportunity to enter a pre-trial motion to dismiss the charges in their entirety. That is one of the reasons acquiring one of the DUI lawyers Los Angeles residents depend on is so important. Quick action can be helpful in the legal system.

If you or a family member has been arrested in southern California for any of the offenses below, call a Los Angeles DUI lawyer as soon as possible.

• First-time DUI
• Felony DUI
• DUI with injuries
• Driver’s license suspension and restoration
• Hit-and-run
• Traffic violations

Students and DUI Convictions
You are at a particular disadvantage if you are a college student at UCLA, USC, or any other local college or university in the Los Angeles and the Southern California area, and are arrested for DUI. Underage students arrested for DUI not only face potential fines and jail time but also may find it difficult to obtain a driver’s license and, if intoxicants are found in your vehicle, you may lose your scholarship or other financial aid and become ineligible to receive aid in the future.

Positive Outcomes are Possible in Los Angeles DUI Cases
A successful defense can be achieved regardless of your blood-alcohol level. There are many factors that a qualified DUI attorney can build a successful defense on. For instance, the arresting officer may have used poor judgment and not had probable cause to stop you. Additionally, the machine used to evaluate your level of intoxication may not have been calibrated correctly or the staff member administering the test may have not conducted the test properly. This holds true for field sobriety tests as well.

Look for a lawyer who knows when a DUI case should go to trial and when a plea agreement may be the better alternative. The goal is to get your life back on track, and sometimes a plea agreement can be the best way forward.

At the Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin, this former prosecutor will complete a thorough investigation and will have all of the facts in order to provide you with a vigorous defense. For a free initial consultation with the Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin, call 310-273-9600.
