Today, Attorney Jonathan James won another DUI case in Winnebago County. Even though our client had a BAC that was above the legal limit, Attorney James had filed a pretrial motion to suppress the evidence collected during the DUI investigation citing the arresting officer’s lack of probable cause to initiate a traffic stop or arrest our client for DUI. During the 2 hour hearing, the arresting officer admitted he did not know many of the procedures that are supposed to be followed when conducting standardized field sobriety testing and had very little recall of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s manual on DWI Detection and Field Sobriety Testing, commonly referred to as the NHTSA manual. Additionally, video obtained from the officer’s squad car showed that our client never committed a traffic violation prior to the officer initiating the traffic stop. At the end of the hearing, the court ruled the officer did not have probable cause for the traffic stop and ordered the arrested quashed, which led to a dismissal of all charges that were pending against our client.
