Vehicle Forfeiture: Where Does The Money Go?

Have you ever wondered where the money goes following a vehicle forfeiture?Does your police agency have some really cool sports cars, tricked out SUVs or ruggedly expensive off-road vehicles? Chances are they got it via Ohio's vehicle forfeiture law. Pursuant to R.C. 4503.234(C)(1), the agency that arrested a defendant has a virtual right of first refusal on any forfeited vehicle. All they have to do is satisfy the lienholder or the innocent non-owners interest if they have protected their interest in the vehicle.If law enforcement does not want the vehicle it will be sent to auction.

The Ohio OVI Breath Test – How To Fight And Win

Posted by Dayton DUI

in DUI Process

You may think that any person who takes an OVI breath test and blows above Ohio's .08 legal limit is guilty of OVI. This is not the case. Watch the Video. Ohio employs a device called the Intoxilyzer 8000. This device has many problems in its operation. In fact, after a lengthy hearing on the Intoxilyzer 8000, a judge in Marietta ruled that the machine was not reliable [Story HERE]. Prosecutors hide behind a 1984 Ohio Supreme Court decision that said because the machines were officially certified by the state, they cannot be challenged by expert witnesses. Until this ruling is overturned...

Yes, that is a thing.AA is open to people of all beliefs, but it is undoubtedly a spiritual program that asks people to have faith in certain principles. One of the most basic requirements of the program is that people believe in a higher power. The second step talks about how members came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. While the third step describes how they made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him. There...

Problems With The Intoxilyzer 8000: You Blew Too Much!

Posted by Dayton DUI

in DUI Process

The Intoxilyzer 8000 measures how much breath you provide by something called a 'pressure transducer.' Instead of directly measuring the volume of your breath by a pressure switch, like the old Intoxilyzer 5000 did, the 8000 indirectly measures breath. Did you blow during an arrest? Watch this video. Not only is it needlessly complicated, it simply doesn't work! The flow sensor systems in Florida's Intoxilyzer 8000's are so unreliable that FDLE ordered that police STOP KEEPING RECORDS of the system in monthly checks. In 2011, a system-wide check showed that 40% of the machines in Florida couldn't accurately measure breath volume!...

Ruling Could Doom Ohio Stoned Driving Rules

Posted by Dayton DUI

in Drugs & Alcohol

Stoned driving laws took a hit this week when Arizona ruled that per se limits on marijuana could not be applied.Ohio has adopted a draconian impairment law that punishes drivers for having a metabolite of marijuana in their system. In effect that means that you are stoned driving if you smoke or ingest marijuana the metabolite "hydroxy-THC" that will remain in your body long after the "high" has dissipated. This means that you may be "impaired" for purposes of the law, but not in any way be impaired by the drug. If you visit Colorado to legally use recreational marijuana...
