How our DUI lawyers get charges dropped and win acquittals in North Bay court
We use numerous defence tactics to win DUI cases. Some include:- Charter and evidence law violations
- Police arrest misconduct applications
- Challenging the Crown's proof of impairment
- Proving the accused was not in care and control of the vehicle
- Using expert witnesses to testify in your favour
Sometimes the police’s DUI investigation is influenced by “tunnel vision” which causes them to disregard exonerating evidence.
The police may wrongly disregard indicators of sobriety. The arresting officer does not know your normal personality disposition and may wrongly misinterpret your behaviour as drunkenness. The accused’s sloppy or disorganized behaviour at the roadside may be a result of anxiety, fatigue, stress, or something other than alcohol or drug impairment.
In defending DUI cases we often rely on CCTV footage such as officer bodycam, dash cam, in car cameras, police station CCTV video, and other media. This may prove that the officer’s account of what happened is constructed to exaggerate suspicious behavior. They may embellish their notes to make you appear worse than you were. When compared with video and other evidence on cross examination, this can sometimes raise doubt as to the officer’s account.
