Dismissal After Granting Of Motion To Suppress For Client Arrested For Second DUI Within 10 Years

N/A

OUTCOME: All Charges Dismissed/Probation Reinstated On Same Terms And Conditions

Client was arrested for violation of California Vehicle Code § 23152(a) and (b) [driving under the influence] after being detained and arrested immediately adjacent to a DUI checkpoint in downtown San ... Diego. This was Client's second DUI arrest within the past 10 years. Accordingly, Client faced much more severe penalties if convicted of his second DUI within the past 10 years, as well as significant jail time in a probation revocation hearing in East County for Client's first DUI case. After successfully challenging the legality of the arrest at the DMV Administrative Per Se hearing and getting the license suspension set aside, Patrick Dodger Paschall of Stark & D'Ambrosio LLP filed a California Penal Code § 1538.5 Motion to Suppress Evidence asserting that the police officers lacked objective reasonable suspicion for the traffic stop and detention and thus violated the United States Constitution's Fourth Amendment prohibition against unreasonable search and seizure. The court granted the Motion to Suppress Evidence and the prosecution subsequently dismissed the case for a lack of evidence. After informing the court in East County of the successful Motion to Suppress and dismissal, Client's probation was revoked but then immediately reinstated on the same terms and conditions. Consequently, Client received no punishment whatsoever despite being arrested for a second DUI within the past 10 years.
