DUI Defense is many times a thankless job. Drinking is looked down upon by a religious right. Once positive organizations, such as MADD, now use this as fodder to further an out of control agenda which influences jurors, judicial officers and prosecutors alike. Of recent, there is a great movement for truth in this country. Not a fabricated truth, but "The Truth" and not ommissions nor misleading information. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie . Check out Attorney Lawrence Taylor's latest blog post: http://www.duiblog.com/2008/12/29/which-are-more-important-breathalyzers-or-slot-machines/. If so much is put into slot machines, why not machines that run on the same or similar technology given more stringent checks and balances?
I am appalled that the State of my birth, Florida, is playing games with the source code of the intoxylizer machine. They pretend not to own or have knowledge of the very essence of what determines, in many circumstances, a permanent blemish on a young persons (or any persons) life. It saddens me that good people are mislead and flat out deceived by our own state government.
I dont personally know Attorney Lawrence Taylor (although I have personally met him). I first met Lawrence Taylor in Austin Hall at The Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass. , where the National College for DUI Defense presents their annual meeting. Year before last he gave the final speech and it was impressive to say the least and inspired everyone in the room. Why we do what we do, captured my heart and my attention. I follow his blog and give you the link so you may follow as well.
