“Weed Day” How Did 420 Get It’s Name?

Posted by Dayton DUI

in Announcements, Drugs & Alcohol

April 20th is Weed Day. I am fascinated by the origin of the term "420" and how it became associated with marijuana. There are as many stories about its origin as there are people you ask. Just a short search on Google leads to the following "Weed Day" origin stories.It’s the number of active chemicals in marijuana. It’s teatime in Holland. It has something to do with Hitler’s birthday. It’s those numbers in that Bob Dylan song multiplied. It was like a police code for smoking in progress or something. In 2003, when the California Legislature codified the medical...

Posted by Dayton DUI

in News

Yes, you can get a bicycle DUI in Ohio. Ohio Revised Code 4511.01(A) defines a vehicle under Ohio law. It includes a bicycle. In State v. Shepard, 1 Ohio App.3d 104, 439 N.E.2d 920 (1st Dist. Hamilton County 1981) a bicycle DUI was upheld for a mounted cyclist. This case distinguished Jones v.

Dayton DUI – DUI Expungement

Posted by Dayton DUI

in Case Law, News

DUI Expungement No DUI expungement under Ohio law? One of the reasons I am proud to defend DUI cases, is that these cases are unduly stigmatized. For example, if you punch someone in the nose your friends will say, "Wow, what happened?" If, however, you say you were charged with a DUI, they will say, "Oh, I'm sorry." It is this assumed guilt that is like no other criminal offense. It erodes at our Constitutionally guaranteed right to be presumed innocent.What makes this presumption particularly frustrating is that DUI cases are notoriously hard for the prosecution to prove. An experienced attorney can find...

Martin Luther King Jr. Day: A Call To Action

Posted by Dayton DUI

in Announcements

Martin Luther King Jr. Day - A Call To Action I am celebrating this Martin Luther King Jr. Day by joining my voice with the chorus who recognize the "War on Drugs" is a racist construct that must be concluded. Our decades-old war on drugs is a racist conspiracy. It was designed to unfairly incarcerate blacks to profit government agencies and corporate America. In an article in the Huffington Post, Dylan Ratigan and Russell Simmons wrote, "A Federal law passed in 1986 allowed law enforcement agencies to seize drug money, and use it to supplement their budgets. Grabbing cash connected to drugs...
