In almost every DUI I have encountered, the arresting officer has indicated that the alleged drunk driver had "bloodshot" or "glassy" eyes.  We challenge the officer by pointing out that he has never seen the defendant before and has no idea whether or not the defendant was engaging in activity that would logically cause bloodshot eyes (fatigue, being in a smoky environment, etc.).  This would usually end cross-examination on this issue and the officer would be able to establish an important factor in deciding whether or not to remove the driver for standardized field sobriety testing.

Arrested for DUI? You Are Innocent.

If you tell your friends that you were arrested for punching someone in the face, their overwhelming reaction will be, "Wow, what happened?"  If, however, you tell them that you were arrested for DUI, those same friends will say, "Oh, I'm so sorry."  What is the difference?  When a person is facing a DUI charge, guilt is assumed.  How in the world did this happen?  How did our presumption of innocence, so valued in the American tradition of law, become so cheapened?  Perhaps we can look to the politically charged nature of the crime of drunk driving.  We can blame...
