Driving Under the Influence and Police Car Cameras

It is a growing trend for police cars to be equipped with audio and video equipment capturing all police investigations. Such video can be extremely useful to people accused of DUI in Sacramento and all over California. For example, video footage may contradict what an officer puts in his or her report regarding an arrest. I have had DUI cases in Sacramento, Placer, Yolo, El Dorado, San Joaquin and Solano counties where the officer claimed the client was driving recklessly before being pulled over. However, the video showed their driving to be quite the contrary and within the bounds of the law. Such evidence led to charges being dismissed or reduced. Obtaining video footage from a police car is a somewhat complex process though. Thus, it is important to have an experienced DUI attorney, like Jonathan Turner, who knows the intricate steps of obtaining such squad car audio and video footage.
