One way to beat a refusal is to show the cop failed to properly admonish or warn the driver of the consequences the refusal will have on their driving privileges and the fact he or she doesn’t have a right to speak to an attorney before deciding which test to take. This defense can be successful if the cop merely paraphrased the statutory advisal or omitted crucial language.
In one recent case, Matthew convinced the DMV hearing officer that his client was not properly admonished which resulted in a “set aside” of the one year mandatory suspension. Below is the actual decision of the findings after the DMV hearing Matt won:
In this case the client was stopped near Long Beach California in his Dodge Charger after driving recklessly and nearly colliding with the center median, according to the officer’s report. Matt presented evidence that his client wasn’t told the mandatory advisement of what the consequences would be if he refused a chemical test. Matt saved the client from a 1 year hard suspension that would have not allowed him to drive at all, even for work or school!
