Ohio OVI Law: State v. Ferry (headlights required)
Charles is a frequent speaker and a prolific writer on all matters related to OVI / DUI defense.
On June 2, 2008, the 11th District Court of Appeals issued a decision in State v. Ferry, 2008-Ohio-2616. The Defendant was stopped at 6:21 p.m. for not having his headlights on and was subsequently chared with a second offense DUI. At issue was whether or not the Headlights Required statute (R.C. 4513.03) was vague. The 11th District ruled that not only was the statute not vague, but that even if it were, the Defendant would not benefit from the exclusionary rule.
