Recently a former client asked us to represent him in a Driving Under Restraint (DUR) case. Several months earlier, the client unknowingly caused his driver's license to be revoked by pleading guilty to a second Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAI) case. In the case we were asked to handle, the client had been driving to work when he was stopped by a police officer. The officer said he made the stop because the year and month stickers on our client's rear license plate were obscured by his bumper. We had our client take pictures of his license plate from different distances. The pictures showed that the stickers on the license plate were visible and clearly legible, as required by statute. When the case went to court, we provided the pictures to the District Attorney who agreed that the officer had stopped our client without a reasonable suspicion and dismissed the case. As a result of our efforts, the client avoided a mandatory jail sentence and an extension of his revocation. If you have a question about this or some other legal issue, please give us a call so we can discuss your situation.
