Alabama Holiday Travelers Beware

Posted on November 16, 2007 by Steven Eversole

Thanksgiving Holiday Travelers in Birmingham, Hoover, Pelham, Trussville, Homewood, Tuscaloosa, Vestavia, Mountain Brook, Gardendale, Fultondale, Leeds, Moody, Pell City, Huntsville, Montgomery, Florence, Scottsboro, Mobile and throughout Alabama should be aware that Alabama is  again "taking back the highways."  Governor Bob Riley and the Alabama Department of Public Safety have joined forces once again to flood the Alabama roadways with police officers looking for any excuse to make money.  They intend to target speeding, failure to yield the right of way, following too closely, driver inattention, and DUI.  These speed traps are just another means of raising revenue.  I guess the Governor has decided that the people of Alabama are more secure by having its police on the roadways instead of protecting our communities.  And I have a question, how do you target driver inattention?  Make sure you don't drive through a fast food joint for a burger on the way to grandma's house this thanksgiving, it might get you a ticket.  If you are charged with an Alabama DUI, a speeding or other traffic ticket this Thanksgiving, make sure to call an experienced Alabama DUI and Criminal Defense attorney and lawyer.  Remember, refuse to take a field sobriety test, a breath test or any test administered by an Alabama police officer or their agents without the presence of your attorney.  Know your rights and fight back!  The nanny state of Alabama, lead by the MADD Mothers Against Drunk Driving and money hungry bureaucrats, is at it again.

Alabama Man Having Seizure Tasered & Accused of DUI

Posted on November 14, 2007 by Steven Eversole
An Ozark, Alabama man was tasered and accused of a DUI while having a seizure.  Police in Ozark, Alabama used a taser on a sober man having a seizure behind the wheel of his parked car last week.  Police fired their tasers at the man three times.  Now, the police say the man smelled of alcohol and have charged him with a DUI even though his blood work has shown no signs of alcohol.  I see this kind of police misconduct and abuse of power every day.  Is it any wonder the people have lost faith in these people.  I do not believe a word a police officer utters out of his mouth.  Every time someone is arrested for drunk driving in Alabama, I hear the same refrain: "he smelled of alcohol, his eyes were bloodshot, he appeared disheveled, blah...blah..blah..."  These cops must have bloodhound noses.  Isn't it quite convenient that every time someone is arrested for a DUI the police give the exact same reasons for arrest? Does anyone really believe that the Alabama DUI charge is anything but an attempt to deflect blame for tasering a man in a medical emergency three times?  And can someone please tell me the law the man broke in the first place?  Did these cops feel endangered by a man having a seizure?  If it wasn't so maddening it would be funny.  I hope this municipality gets its ass sued off.  These officers should be immediately fired and charged with battery.  Anyone want to bet these SOB's get charged or disciplined?  I bet not.  The law is different for those with power and for those without.  This is just one more reason why anyone accused of an Alabama DUI or any Alabama crime needs an experienced Alabama DUI & Criminal Defense Attorney.

Another Hypocrite Arrested for DUI

Posted on November 1, 2007 by Steven Eversole

HaHaHaHaHa........ another hypocrite in power arrested for a DUI.  A South Dakota department of highway safety official was arrested yesterday for a DUI.  Normally, I would never laugh at someone charged with a DUI.  It is a serious charge, the dui laws are ridiculous, and I make a very good living defending those accused of driving under the influence.  However, I delight in highlighting hypocrites and abusers of power.  Plus the irony is so overwhelming I have to comment on it.  Everyone should remember, "judge not, less ye be judged."  There's a maxim to live by.
