If you are facing DWI Austin arrest or similar charges in other county or state, what you need to understand and realize is that you have got yourself into a very serious problem. DWI Austin arrest in a long wound legal procedure which costs time, money, energy, loss of face and sometimes job. It has life lasting effects.
The DWI arrest invariably leaves the DWI Austin victim with a sour feeling that this was one drink that he could have so easily done without! How true but too late... now that you're facing DWI charges, you rather deal with it. One thing about DWI Austin Arrest is that you cannot undo it. No matter what you do, if you are arrested by Law Enforcement Team or Patrolling Police under DWI Austin you have to face the consequences.
DWI Austin Laws - An overview: As far as DWI Austin Laws are concerned they are very strict and getting stricter by the day. Impaired driving has cost Austin many innocent lives. Vigorous patrolling during the peak hours is a norm. There are checkpoints now where the patrolling team stops all vehicles to check the status of driver's mental and physical faculties. There is another side to this. If you think you are drunk beyond the permissible BAC limits, there is a facility of hiring a driver who will drive you home in your own car. You are free to choose this option if you need the car to drive to office the next day.
How does DWI Austin arrest happen? DWI Austin or Driving While Intoxicated in Austin is not an easy job for the patrolling police also. They are given a set of guidelines which they have to adhere to. They are trained professionals doing their job. So if they stop you on DWI suspicion, it means they have enough proof for doing so. Either someone called them (not an anonymous caller) or you have been under observation for at least half an hour and that they have been observing your behavior and mannerisms.
On what grounds can you be arrested under DWI Austin Charges? If after various roadside tests or tests done at the police station your Blood Alcohol Content Level is found above 0.08 you will be arrested. this is the point where things begin to get real complicated. And if you refuse to take these tests your driving license is suspended immediately. Either way trouble brews.
On what grounds can you challenge your DWI Austin Arrest? The police that arrested you under DWI Austin charges can be challenged on many grounds by a competent DWI Austin attorney. so make sure you hire the right people. e.g. The police cannot follow you home secretly without informing you. If they've done it, you can tell this to your attorney
and he will deal with it. Likewise these tests are not scientific and accurate - and the DWI Austin attorney is aware of all aspects of it to question the court during hearing. Did the police making arrest inform you about your rights as a citizen? Were the tests done in accordance with the Standardized NHTSA guidelines? Were the conditions proper? Were your physical disability (if any), age, psychological conditions, weight given due attention while DWI tests were performed on you?
Hiring a competitive DWI Austin attorney: Don't try to be your own attorney if you are not qualified. Let a professional do his job. A DWI Attorney Specialist firm will ideally comprise Attorneys, Paralegals, investigator, outside forensic toxicologist, an outside evaluation group. The investigator is ideally a retired officer who has past experience of handling DWI cases at various levels.
DWI Austin Arrest cost: At least 6 months of worries and approximately $8500 expense. This includes attorney's fee, additional insurance, surcharges, Applying for temporary license etc. Hiring an attorney, appearing in court, not being able to drive, a bad police record, etc are things that you cannot convert in money and the stress and inconvenience it can cause immeasurable trauma.
DWI Austin charges are something you can do without. If you are drunk don't take a risk of driving home or wherever. You rather hire a driver or a cab NOW than hire an attorney LATER!

Criminal and Civil Law Cases Are Different
Very few civil cases, with the possible exception of some of the big headliners recently, garner much interest simply because they are not as juicy as a criminal case. Big criminal cases often have a following of "groupies" that will show up in droves at a courtroom so they may watch the drama unfold.
While you might think the cases aren't that different, in actuality, they are quite diverse. Verdicts and rulings are areas in which you will see a significant difference. Defendants in criminal trials have a lot of things at stake, not the least of which may be their freedom. Criminal trials may also result in some serious types of punishment.
With crimes there are two categories, the felonies (with severe punishments) and the misdemeanors (less severe punishments.) For instance, first-degree murder may receive life without parole or death, depending on which state the crime was committed, etc. On the other hand, generally speaking, misdemeanor charges may result in fines, probation, community service, and/or jail time, etc.
In civil cases, the question isn't so much culpability, but liability. These cases deal mostly with issues involving personal injury, contract disputes, real estate squabbles, and divorces. The plaintiff sues the defendant to complain of a wrong that was done to them.
In a civil case, the plaintiff is responsible to build a case to show a civil wrong. Getting a verdict in a civil case doesn't require meeting the same high standards as criminal cases. In civil cases, all the plaintiff has to do is convince the jury it was reasonably possible the defendant was responsible for the complaint. The burden then shifts to the defendant to prove they are innocent.
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the differences between civil and criminal proceedings, but if you wish to know more, feel free to research it online.

Cops and Lying
It is fascinating to me that a cop would ever consider lying about a case. Granted, there is not a lot of information in this posting that let's us know what the lie was, but as a former prosecutor for the Travis County Attorney's Office, I understand that it must have been quite a substantive lie or misrepresentation for the DA's office to VOLUNTARILY OFFER to vacate the conviction. Normally, a criminal defense attorney would be the one moving to have a conviction vacated, NOT the DA!
KXAN reported that an Austin police officer is under investigation for allegedly lying about a case that led to the criminal conviction of an Austin man.
Ernest Smith was convicted in September on drug charges, but the district attorneys office learned something was wrong, and it had to do with one Austin cop. It's unclear exactly what this officer may have lied about, but it was big enough for the district attorney to do something it rarely does.
The district attorneys office initiated a conversation with Smith's defense attorney and offered to vacate a judgment on his conviction based on new information. Essentially, Smith's conviction from September is going to be withdrawn. APD and the DA are not sharing too much information with KXAN either but we do know this... Sources say that officer lied about something in the drug case, so District Judge Bob Perkins dropped the case entirely some three months after Smith was convicted.
But friends of his say it's too late. That's because Smith is still in jail on unrelated drug charges. It's also unclear how this might affect the other cases this accused officer is involved with.
It is fascinating to me that a cop would ever consider lying about a case. Granted, there is not a lot of information in this posting that lets us know what the lie was, but as a former prosecutor for the Travis County Attorney's Office, I understand that it must have been quite a substantive lie or misrepresentation for the DAs office to VOLUNTARILY OFFER to vacate the conviction. Normally, a criminal defense attorney would be the one moving to have a conviction vacated, NOT the DA!
Now, why is it fascinating to me that a cop would lie in a case? Simply put, we have nothing to gain by lying. If a case is not strong enough to warrant a conviction, then the person should not be convicted. It does not reflect negatively on the officer that one of his "collars" or persons arrested is not convicted, unless of course said officer is on an "ego trip" and takes the lack of conviction personally. Consider the following scenario (written in an imaginary police report):
1) Officer responds to a disturbance at an apartment complex, where it is reported a Suspect is selling drugs.
2) Officer meets with the Suspect first and justifiably conducts a "pat-down" or "frisk" of his outer clothing to ensure there are no weapons present that could endanger the officer.
3) Officer feels a lump in the Suspects pocket and based off the officer's "training and experience" realizes that the substance is an illegal narcotic. Now, we have invoked the "plain-touch" rule... a close cousin to the "plain-sight" rule...
4) Officer reaches into the pocket and pulls the contraband out and arrests the Suspect for possession of the narcotic...
5) Valid arrest?
Setting aside any political or personal agendas, the above scenario is almost a textbook setting for what happens to officers on an almost daily basis. Agreed? I will guarantee that somewhere in this great State of Texas that there is at least one person arrested under facts like these every day! Now, fast forward to trial...
The Officer testifies to the above facts but during the direct examination of the prosecutor, the officer embellishes a little bit on the story. In fact, the Officer says, "Ya, the Suspect resisted me when I tried to handcuff him. In fact, he pushed me in the chest, and because of where his hand hit my sternum, it caused pain."
At this point, the officer has testified to elements that would warrant filing assault on a peace officer on the Suspect. But, it is critical to determine whether the facts of the resisting were in the report? What about the pain? The injury? If not, trust me, it did not happen. That is the most basic of training that police officers receive in an academy... write in detail and be thorough. Do not omit facts.
So what, you may be asking, what does this do to the officer? Won't the Suspect still be convicted for the drug possession, even if the the resisting charge is dropped or never filed? Yes, probably... but I challenge you to consider this, "Should Suspect be convicted or should he receive a stiffer punishment based off the facts now presented?"
Now I could go on for pages debating the last question, but I won't... I want you to think about it.
To summarize, what happened here is the officer may have merely made a mistake by omitting the facts from the report, and if that is what happened, that is what he should have explained. Or, he could have truthfully stated that he did not remember the details and left the case alone ... but above all things, the officer should not lie about the facts of the case or enhance them with more detail ....
After all, what does the officer bring to the witness stand: Credibility? Integrity? A willingness to "protect and serve"? Or, is it more of a desire to "win at all costs"?
I challenge anyone reading this, especially cops, to consider what it is that they stand for and why they do the job that they do... as an officer, I assure you, I care more about my credibility and integrity than I do a desire to "win" a case. In the end, it does not matter to me if the person I arrested is convicted. For me, what counts is that I did my job and that I did not violate anyone elses rights. And as for the person that I took to jail in a given shift, that person is not sub-human... they just made a mistake ... or they just got caught... but to lie or even stretch the truth a little bit... that brings an entire system of justice crashing down on itself...and brings the officer's credibility down, jeopardizing every case he has ever touched!!!
In the end, I am a Texas attorney. I am also a Texas cop. And, I do believe that the system works, when all the parties to the system fulfill their respective roles. But, I also am excited when I see that someone, taking advantage of his position or authority, loses credibility and is dismissed or disciplined. Yes, I am a defense attorney. Yes, I am a cop. But first and foremost, I am an honest person who believes in doing what is right and just under the law, and I challenge others to do the same....

But, I always felt that my skill best resided within the criminal justice system. So, I took it upon myself to obtain a perspective that most criminal defense attorneys lack-the law enforcement officer's point of view.
I was hired by the Williamson County Sheriff's Office in October, 2005, and donned a uniform to patrol the County's roadways as a certified Texas peace officer.
