Officers Arrested for Altering DWI Charges
ABC 11 in North Carolina reported that six police officers were arrested on charges related to changing DWI records and charges.
Each of the officers faces multiple felony charges. One officer is facing 65 felong counts!
So what does this mean for your DUI trial?
It means that there may be challenge to the evidence in your DUI case. There are strict procedures that poilce must follow during a DUI stop and during collection of evidence.
If these procedures aren’t followed – accidentally or purposefully – you may be able to challenge your case.
First, know your state’s DUI laws. Then, you may want to ask follow-up questions to a local attorney who can offer advice on the some of your options.
Above all, stay on your toes. You never know who was writing your ticket.

This is the second time in a month I’ve heard of police officers either tampering with documents or writing false citations altogether. I’m disgusted.

This is just shameful. Police are supposed to UPHOLD our laws, not tamper with them.
