Boise DUI Lawyers probably cringed when they saw the small amount of bail required for a rapper stopped in Louisiana over the weekend. Juvenile, aka Terius Gary was pulled over for driving 75 mph in a 65 mph zone. That wouldn't make a DUI lawyer flinch but what follows will. The officer smelled marijuana and discovered that Gary was driving on a suspended licenses. Gary was charged with simple possession and DWP, but here's the kicker - he was released on a $750 cash bond!
If you are charged with a DWP in Idaho and you have possession of marijuana, any Boise DUI Lawyer will tell you that you will not get off that easy. DUI attorneys in Idaho regularly argue for reduction in bail for their DUI, DWP and possession clients. Even if you aren't a flight risk, even if you have a stable job, even if you have a family with whom you actively participate, you will get a much bigger bond in Idaho for a DUI or DWP and possession.
This Boise DUI Lawyer want to know, "how much did his ticket for speeding cost?" Undoubtedly, a lot less in Louisiana than in Idaho. This Boise DUI Attorney also wants to know, "what is the penalty for DWP and possession in Louisiana?" Probably a lot less than in Idaho. Maybe I would move to Louisiana and practice DUI law there; maybe if it weren't for the hurricanes and bugs. On second thought - I will stay in Boise, practice DUI and criminal law here and remain a Boise DUI Lawyer. All you Boise DUI Lawyers out there agree with me?

Boise DUI Lawyers and Felony DUI
Boise DUI Lawyers woke up to headlines of a Felony DUI that occurred in Boise on Tuesday. Felony DUI and an associated DWP are no laughing matter. A second time offense and an excessive DUI indicate to judges in Idaho that the person who was driving under the influence of alcohol has a serious problem and it is in the best interest of the population at large to get these people off the street.
The dilemma for a DUI lawyer in Boise is defending the person charged with excessive DUI and preserving their rights as well as protecting the population from repeat offenders. As a Boise Criminal Lawyer I often get comments from people asking me how I can defend a criminal. We all have rights and we all make mistakes. Often it is not a question of guilt, such as the person involved in the felony DUI on Tuesday. She clearly was driving under the influence of alcohol and in an excessive amount. What it comes down to is preserving her rights. We have to put our selves into her shoes and ask if we would want our rights protected. We live in a country where we are given many rights as opposed to many other countries where there are little or few personal rights. A lawyers duty is to preserve and protect your rights and to make certain that the government or the police don't do something that is contrary to those rights.
So clearly, the excessive felony DUI charge that the woman in Boise received on Tuesday was warranted, but how can lawyers help her? They can help her by protecting her rights, by making certain she gets a fair trial and by helping her get the help she needs so that she does not once again commit the same crime.

Boise DUI Lawyers and Evidence
Boise DUI Lawyers are confronting a new type of evidence against their clients. Facebook not only has become a social networking phenomenon but it has also become a credible source of evidence to be used against someone in a DUI or DWP case. People routinely make facebook posts about how much they had to drink and where and when they drove or how they drove with a suspended license.
The breathalyzer and field sobriety tests issued during a DUI stop in Idaho are often sufficient to convict someone on a DUI. If, however, there are issues as to probable cause, that evidence can be excluded and possible reduce your DUI to something like inattentive driving. However, if you make a post on facebook that shows that the police did have probable cause to stop you for a DUI your facebook post could be the noose around your neck.
