The most common elements for DUI are

1) Blood alcohol level above the state's legally drunk rate (in CA it's .8)

2) You were driving

Element #1 is usually attacked by 1) arguing that the police did not follow procedures 2) the sampling device was not "refreshed" from prior tests before sampling you 3) too much time elapsed between the breath sample and analysis

Element #2 is hard to attack if you were caught driving. However, if you were passed out on the road while in your car, there are possibilities that may explain this. Perhaps, your friend was driving you and the car ran out of gas so he took off to get gas. In the meantime, in your drunked stupor and fear for your property you went to the driver side and passed out. This is just a possibility, and I am not advocating it


Most DUI cases are plead down to reckless driving or other lower charges that have less impact on your ability to drive and your freedom.
I WAS DRIVING ALONE PULLED OVER FOR DRIVING 80 ON A 65 ZONE. BLEW A .11 WITH THE FIELD TEST. AND BLEW A .12 AT THE POLICE STATION.

I PICKED UP THE OFFICER'S FULL REPORT AS PART OF MY 'DISCOVERY' PROCESS. AND THERE'S ALOT OF INCONSISTENCIES IN THE REPORT THAT I WOULD LIKE THE JUDGE AND JURY TO KNOW OF.
