Dayton OVI Checkpoint Tonight! (July 3rd on Rt. 48)

ABC/FOX 22 and WHIO News are reporting that the Montgomery County Sheriff, Ohio State Highway Patrol and the Montgomery County OVI Task Force will be back at the Harrison Township/Rt. 48 location again tonight.  The low-man power OVI checkpoint will be accompanied by active saturation patrols.  The city of Dayton is stepping up its enforcement of motorists this long weekend. We spoke to dispatchers who say they're utilizing some grant money that's allowing them to run extra patrols throughout the busy travel period until Monday.  As for Montgomery County? They're not done yet, either-- several saturation patrols will be out for...

DUI Science; there are only three standardized field sobriety tests

Extensive government testing was begun in the 1970's to determine a scientifically valid way of helping police officers detect intoxication in drivers under suspicion of drunk driving.  The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) guidelines were set up to help make these tests more accurate. After extensive testing, NHTSA determined that three tests were specific for alcohol intoxication: the HGN (horizontal gaze nystagmus), the walk & turn test and the one leg stand test. They are now called ‘standardized field sobriety tests.Many officers rely upon other tests to determine intoxication.  These tests may include:The Rhomberg stationary balance test wherein...

A metal detector can detect guns.  Does that mean that every person who sets off the metal detector has a gun?  The standardized field sobriety tests can detect lack of coordination due to intoxication.  Does that mean that all lack of coordination is indicative of intoxication?  Here a completely sober person fails the Walk & Turn portion of the standardized field sobriety tests.  If you think that you have been wrongly labled as intoxicated contact Dayton DUI Defense Attorney Charles M. Rowland II at 937-318-1DUI (318-1384).Completely sober person fails Walk & Turn...
