Diabetics get mistaken for Drunks by Virginia's breath tester

Virginia to Diabetics: We Don’t Care

Research indicates that as many as one in seven drivers are diabetic.  This figure includes drivers who may be affected but do not have an official diagnosis.  Despite this fact, Virginia’s latest breath tester can’t tell the difference between diabetes and intoxication.  Now, diabetics who drive in Virginia are being wrongly convicted of DWI.  Worse, it appears that Virginia knew about this problem at the time it ordered the machine… and chose to cover it up.

When Virginia initially requested bids for a new evidentiary breath test device to determine blood alcohol content it correctly required the machine to distinguish among alcohols.  This requirement was intended to prevent wrongful convictions.  When the manufacturer Virginia wanted to hire admitted that its product could not meet this specification, officials quietly dropped the requirement but nonetheless trained operators, taught judges and represented to prosecutors that the machine performed as specified.

Drinking alcohol is called ethanol.  Diabetics naturally produce another type of alcohol – isopropanol – in certain stages of the disease.  Even though Virginia’s breath tester is only supposed to measure blood alcohol content of ethanol it registers isopropanol on the breath of diabetics.  This reading results in false evidence which in turn results in wrongful DWI convictions.

An ancient expression about the measure of a society’s morality is how it treats the sick.  Diabetics have enough challenges without the threat of wrongful DWI conviction.  Join me in challenging Virginia to cease this shameful practice.

Keefer Law Firm, PLC is on Facebook

Bob Keefer: Woodstock Virginia VA DWI DUI & Drunk Driving Lawyer: Deputy does not get fired for perjured testimony to convict DWI defendants.

Polk County Florida prosecutors have dropped DWI charges against over 50 suspects due to Deputy Tex Thomas'  admissions that he used canned facts and failed to wait the mandatory 20 minutes to ensure accurate breath test results.  If the 20 minutes is not followed the suspect may receive an inflated BAC number due to mouth alcohol.

Thomas was not fired and prosecuted for perjury but he was taken off the DUI enforcement squad.  I.

Virginia DWI DUI & Drunk Driving Lawyer Bob Keefer: Virginia's new Law making failure to use ignition interlock a separate offense.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 18.2-272 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 18.2-272. Driving after forfeiture of license.

A. Any person who drives or operates any motor vehicle, engine or train in the Commonwealth during the time for which he was deprived of the right to do so (i) upon conviction of a violation of § 18.2-268.3 or of an offense set forth in subsection E of § 18.2-270, (ii) by § 18.2-271 or 46.2-391.2, (iii) after his license has been revoked pursuant to § 46.2-389 or 46.2-391, or (iv) in violation of the terms of a restricted license issued pursuant to subsection E of § 18.2-271.1, is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor except as otherwise provided in § 46.2-391, and is subject to administrative revocation of his driver's license pursuant to §§ 46.2-389 and 46.2-391. Any person convicted of three violations of this section committed within a 10-year period is guilty of a Class 6 felony.

Nothing in this section or § 18.2-266, 18.2-270 or 18.2-271, shall be construed as conflicting with or repealing any ordinance or resolution of any city, town or county which restricts still further the right of such persons to drive or operate any such vehicle or conveyance.

B. Regardless of compliance with any other restrictions on his privilege to drive or operate a motor vehicle, it shall be a violation of this section for any person whose privilege to drive or operate a motor vehicle has been restricted, suspended or revoked because of a violation of § 18.2-6.31, 18.2-51.4, 18.2-266, 18.2-268.3, 46.2-341.24, or a similar ordinance or law of another state or the United States to drive or operate a motor vehicle while he has a blood alcohol content of 0.02 percent or more.

Any person suspected of a violation of this subsection shall be entitled to a preliminary breath test in accordance with the provisions of § 18.2-267, shall be deemed to have given his implied consent to have samples of his blood, breath or both taken for analysis pursuant to the provisions of § 18.2-268.2, and, when charged with a violation of this subsection, shall be subject to the provisions of §§ 18.2-268.1 through 18.2-268.12.

C. Any person who drives or operates a motor vehicle without a certified ignition interlock system as required by § 46.2-391.01 is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor and is subject to administrative revocation of his driver's license pursuant to §§ 46.2-389 and 46.2-391.

Chris Browning, Chief Investigator for the Alabama Attorney General Troy King, was arrested for DUI on January 24, 2009 for DUI.

Browing had been the AG's chief investigator since January 1, 2007.

Browning had previously been chief of police for Fairhope.

Browning will not receive special treatment according to the AG's office.

I guess they eat their own.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZjLsyFzDlA&feature=related


On January 3, 2009 around 2AM, Sam Shepard, actor, playwright and Pulitzer Prize winning writer, was charged with DUI in Illinois.

Shepard was stopped for speeding which is not a NHTSA clue for impaired driving.

Shepard's reported breath alcohol content was more than twice the .08 level.

Shepard has appeared in Black Hawk Down, Swordfish, and the Pelican Brief. 

Shepard lives with Jessica Lange and their two children.

Waynesboro DUI Lawyer Bob Keefer: Even Chargers Wide Receiver Vincent Jackson gets charged with DWI DUI

Vincent Jackson, a 25 year old NFL Chargers receiver was charged with DUI in early January, 2009.

The team announced that despite the charge he will play in Sunday's AFC divisional playoff game at Pittsburgh.

Jackson also faces charges that by driving drunk he was violating his probation for a 2006 DUI conviction.

Jackson claims that the blood test will prove his innocence. 

Jackson is among the best young receivers in the NFL. 

Despite his abilities, this DUI arrest may cause his team to consider letting him go. 

This attitude of conviction before trial is wrong.

Luray DWI Lawyer Bob Keefer: Even Judges get charged with DUI DWI

Judge John F. Kelly, a 65 year old Pima Superior Court Judge, was charged with DUI on December 5, 2008.

Judge Kelly had the misfortune to spell of alcohol at a sobriety checkpoint.

Judge Kelly had demonstrated no signs of impaired driving; he just smelled like he had consumed alcohol.

Judge Kelly’s blood test came back 0.063, a result below the .08 bac legal limit.

The prosecutor has moved to dismiss the charge and I am certain that is appropriate; however, would the state be so quick to dismiss against an ordinary innocent civilian.

I hope so.

I also hope that Judge Kelly remembers how innocent people get arrested for DUI in the new zero tolerance world of DUI enforcement.

Harrisonburg DUI DWI Lawyer Bob Keefer: Even Police Officers charged with Felonies are presumed innocent unlike those accused of DWI DUI

Lieutenant Hendrickson, a 47 year old Newport News Police Lieutenant, has been charged with several sex charge felonies in York County, Virginia.

 Police Lieutenant Hendrickson was charged on Monday, December 29, 2008 with felony abduction with intent to defile, abduction, penetration with an inanimate object, and misdemeanor sexual battery.

 Police Lieutenant Hendrickson is being held at the Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail since the Court decided not to release him on bond given the seriousness of the charges. 

 Police Lieutenant Hendrickson has been a member of the Newport News Police Department for almost 23 years.

 The police department has placed Hendrickson on leave with pay.

 I am sure that Police Lieutenant Hendrickson deserves to keep his job with pay while charges are pending and to be treated like he is presumed innocent until proven guilty; however, I just wish ordinary citizens charged with misdemeanor DUI got the same presumption of innocence.

Harrisonburg DWI DUI Lawyer Bob Keefer: Shenandoah Valley law enforcement agencies will have lots of police on the roads for New Years

First Sgt. Bryan Hutcheson of the Virginia State Police will have extra state police patrols out to catch drunken New Years parties who choose to drive.

In 2008 17 people have died on Harrisonburg and Rockingham County roadways. 

First Sgt. Hutcheson pledged to do what he could to prevent impaird driving that could lead to injuries or death.

The Rockingham County Sheriff Department also announced that they would have increased patrols for New Years Eve.

Harrisonburg Police will also employ saturation patroling to give incentives to party goers not to drive impaired.

Spring Hill DWI DUI Lawyer Bob Keefer: Even a Deputy Sheriff gets charged with DWI DUI

Jason Chance, a 31 year old Wicomico Sheriff’s Deputy was charged with DUI after he struck a parked car.

 
The DUI charge was dropped and Deputy Chance pled guilty to negligent driving and failure to stop after an accident.

 
Sergeant Chance has resigned after a seven year career with the Sheriff’s Department; he was a decorated officer and a former school resource officer.

Chance was tested hours after the crash and he blew a .04 breath alcohol result.

Spring HIll DWI DUI Lawyer Bob Keefer: Even New York Yankee Pitcher Joba Chamberlin gets charged with DWI DUI

 Joba Chamberlin is a starting pitcher for the New York Yankees.

On October 18, 2008, Chamberlin drank in a Lincoln Nebraska strip club, got into an argument with a Red Sox fan and then was stopped for speeding in his BMW.

Of course, speeding is not a NHTSA clue of impaired driving; however, once the officer smelled alcohol on Chamberlin he was going to jail.

Let’s hope he gets a good DUI lawyer.

Waynesbor DWI DUI Lawyer Bob Keefer: Virginia cited as one of the five toughest states on persons accused of DWI DUI

In a November, 2008 news conference, Mark V. Rosenker, National Transportation Safety Board’s acting chairman, said that half of the country’s 17,000 alcohol related deaths in 2007 involved hard core drunk drivers.

Rosenker did not explain that alcohol related did not mean caused by an intoxicated driver.

Rosenker did not explain that the government has tried to conceal the actual 2007 death toll of 6,000 people, including drunk drivers, killed by drunk drivers.

NTSB has recommended eleven measures to stop drunk driving including regular sobriety checkpoints, lowering the blood alcohol content for a second offense and limiting plea bargains in DWI cases.

Rosenker did not explain that sobriety checkpoints impinge upon the liberty of innocent people while being one third as effective in stopping drunk drivers as roving patrols.

Rosenker did not explain how lowering the blood alcohol content for second offenders was necessary to stop hard core drunk drivers who drive with high BACs.

Rosenker did not explain how the Courts would handle trials for all DWI defendants when common sense negotiations were prohibited.

Virginia is one of five states that have adopted enough of the steps to be endorsed by NTSB.

Weyers Cave DUI Lawyer Bob Keefer: Innocent People without a good lawyer get convicted.

Steven Barnes was released by court order in November, 2008.

Barnes had served 20 years in prison for the 1985 rape and murder of teenager who attended school where he did.

Barnes was convicted on forensic evidence that soil on his truck tires was similar to soil on his truck tires and an imprint on the outside of his truck matched the fabric pattern of the victim’s pants.

This is junk science and cost this fellow his youth.

Ne w DNA evidence proved that he did not rape or kill his classmate.

This was another victory for the Innocence Project.

You need to remember that being innocent is not always enough; you also need a good lawyer.

I am sure that Barnes talked to the police in an attempt to clear himself prior to his wrongful conviction.

Lesson:  Don’t talk to the police; it will always hurt you.
