Pulled Over for DWI. No Breath Test. No Field Sobriety Tests.
Charged Anyway.
A.B. had worked with us before on a speeding ticket.
So when he was pulled over on suspicion of DWI, he already knew one thing:
He wasn’t navigating it alone.
He followed our prior guidance and declined:
- Field sobriety tests
- A roadside breath test
Even without chemical evidence, the officer moved forward with a DWI charge.
When There’s No Test, The Video Matters.
We obtained and carefully reviewed the dashcam footage.
The report claimed “erratic driving.”
The video told a different story.
What appeared suspicious at first glance was something far more ordinary:
A.B. had attempted a lane change and nearly clipped a vehicle that was sitting in his blind spot.
A common driving mistake.
Not intoxication.
The Result
We presented the full context to the court.
- The DWI charge was dismissed
- No high-point impact to his license
- No criminal conviction
A.B. walked away with his record clean and his driving privileges intact.
The Takeaway
A DWI charge does not require a failed test.
But without proper review of the evidence, assumptions can go unchallenged.
Video matters. Context matters. Strategy matters.
