A man who had been accused of murder went to a lawyer seeking defense. He didn't want to go to jail. But his lawyer told him, "Don't worry. You'll never have to go to jail with all that money." And the lawyer was right. When the man was sent to prison, he didn't have a dime.

The North American Police Work Dog Association (http://www.NAPWDA.com) was formed in 1977 and is composed of law enforcement officers throughout the United States and several other countries. Their mission is that they are Dedicated to Assisting Police Work Dog Teams Throughout the World. They conduct in-service training workshops in various states throughout the year and hold a major national workshop in a different state yearly. Officers and their K9's attend these workshops for problem solving, legal updates, new techniques in various phases of police work dog use and certifications to their standards. If you have a drug case involving the use of a drug-sniffing dog, this may be a good place to look for standards, protocols and certification standards. If anyone knows of any studies that support banning the introduction of evidence from these dogs, please contact Attorney Charles M. Rowland II at 937-879-9542.

Rapper/urban mogul wants to help keep A-listers from being arrested for DUI. Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs wants to start a limousine service for celebrities to help keep them from being arrested for drunk driving. Combs said his recent involvement with the branding and marketing of Ciroc vodka led him to the idea. According to a spokesman for Combs, the rapper is interested in making sure everyone parties responsibly. Combs, founder of Bad Boy Entertainment and host of MTV’s Making the Band, is said to be targeting ‘famous’ celebrities. Just last year, A-list celebrities such as Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Vivica A. Fox, Nicole Richie and Mischa Barton were charged with driving under the influence.

On I want to make this clear: I have never posted a message on the Dayton Daily News site and the offending blog posts were not made by me. I have requested that the Dayton Daily News do an investigation to see who made these posts. What we are left with is one of two possibilities. Either the KBA leadership lacks the mental acuity to discern these were mean-spirited posts designed to insult me, or they don’t care about the truth and wish only to spin the story to smear a political opponent. Having been on the receiving end of seven-plus years of this treatment, I have come to conclude that truth is the last thing the KBA- PAC is concerned with. Nevertheless, I have never sunk to the level of responding…until now. This is a dirty type of politics that has been unknown in Charles M. Rowland II

Lumidigm, a New Mexico company, has developed fingerprint sensor that detects blood alcohol content (BAC) in suspected drunk driving cases.
The company has been testing the handheld equipment with the help of the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department. Darren White, speaking on behalf of the sheriff’s department, is encouraged by the potential of a new tool to determine if a motorist is driving while intoxicated. He felt the evidence gathered would also improve the prosecution’s chances of securing a conviction for DWI. In the current United States Defense Appropriations Act, two million dollars were allocated for the development of a handheld fingerprint scanner. The technology is then expected to enter the private law enforcement sector. Matthew Ennis, an executive with Lumidigm, projects the use of biometric technology in automobiles within a few years that can provide security and detect elevated blood alcohol content.

"If we can't think for ourselves, if we're unwilling to question authority, then we're just putty in the hands of those in power. But if the citizens are educated and form their own opinions, then those in power work for us. In every country, we should be teaching our children the scientific method and the reasons for a Bill of Rights. With it comes a certain decency, humility and community spirit. In the demon-haunted world that we inhabit by virtue of being human, this may be all that stands between us and the enveloping darkness."

Today, with the help of Dr. Steven Rubenzer, I passed my Forensic Sobriety Assessment Test and became the first attorney in the State of Ohio to earn my FSA Certification. This new certification seeks to go one step beyond the NHSTA "agenda driven" science and calls for the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests to be held up to scientific scrutiny. Dr. Rubenzer is the first person to publish a peer reviewed article on the SFTs entitled: The Standardized Field Sobriety Tests: A Review of Scientific and Legal Issues. For the DUI practitioner, this article appears in Law and Human Behavior. As I learn more I will post on these topics. Thursday, March 6

Vermont latest to eye lower drinking age |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||





It is legal to have a drink and drive. However, most of us know that an "odor" of an alcoholic beverage can lead to all sorts of problems. I have represented clients who have tried all types of masks when they are pulled over by police officers. Often, to avoid the hassle of field sobriety tests and the distinct possibility of an arrest, they will light a cigarette or cigar, chug mouthwash, or put in gum. Other more interesting tricks include chewing on a raw potato, putting pennies (or nickles) in your mouth or biting your lip until it bleeds.
