Officer's Squeeze of Contents of Pocket During Pat Down Search Found to Be Illegal, Resulting in Suppression of Evidence
Posted by: dpakula on Tuesday, August 14, 2007 - 07:51 PM
	There are constitutional limits to how far a police officer can go when conducting a pat down search for weapons during a traffic stop. For purposes of officer safety, an officer is allowed to conduct a limited pat down search if he or she has reason to believe the suspect may be armed. However, the search can become illegal if the officer continues the pat down after ascertaining that the subject is not armed. Our firm recently won a suppression hearing in a drug possession case by proving that the police officer exceeded the scope of a permissible pat down search by squeezing our client's pocket. As a result, the possession charge was dropped.

Sleep Deprivation Defense Prevails in DUI Victory
Posted by: dpakula on Sunday, June 24, 2007 - 04:03 PM
	Appearances can be deceiving. If you have been wrongly accused of driving under the influence (DUI), don't believe those who may tell you that it's not worth fighting because it will be your word against the police officer's. Our client's recent court victory proves that your reputation and dignity are worth fighting for, and you can win. The key to our victory was the "sleep deprivation" defense. For details of how we won the jury trial, please read on.

New Pretrial Diversion Program for DWLS Offenders Instituted in Broward County
Posted by: dpakula on Monday, February 05, 2007 - 07:18 PM
	About a year ago, I reported that the Broward State Attorney began a new policy that made it more difficult for those charged with a third DWLS to avoid habitualization. In the article, which can be accessed below on this web page, I predicted that the State Attorney's new policy would eventually collapse due to pressure from Broward County judges who were not too pleased with the prospect of creating additional habitual traffic offenders. Sometimes my predictions come true and sometimes they do not. In this case, I was right on target. On January 26, 2007, Chief Judge Dale Ross signed a new administrative order that creates a new pretrial diversion program for DWLS offenders. Its effect will be to save many defendants from a five-year HTO revocation of their drivers licenses.
