State of Washington v. Z.C.
Outcome: Dismissed with prejudice and win at DOL hearing.
Description: Client was facing a minimum of 30 days in jail and 60 days of electronic home monitoring and a 2 year license revocation on a second offense DUI. The case was ultimately dismissed on my motion because the officer did not have lawful authority to stop my client and investigate him for DUI. Through investigation I determined that the officer was only using his emergency lights when my client failed to yield and not his lights and siren as required by law.
Court: Pierce County District Court
