Taimoor Rana is seasoned criminal defense attorney specializing in DUI related cases. He shares his expert legal opinion here How to Discredit Retrograde Extrapolation in a DWI Breath Test Case »
1
- When a driver agrees to submit a DWI/DUI breath test, then the state’s star witness at the trial would be the technical supervisor and the state’s expert on the breath test machine. The state’s expert’s testimony will be the calculation of the driver’s alcohol concentration at the time of driving and how many drinks took him/her to that point. This specific scientific theory is called retrograde extrapolation.
As the prosecutor will ask the technical supervisor to determine these numbers for the jury. The technical supervisor at the witness stand will punch numbers into a calculator. All of sudden testimony looks dramatic when the state’s expert will be asked on cross examination whether he and the prosecutor discussed his testimony before he took a stand. After being asked, he will be forced to admit that he calculated the numbers ahead of time. Click here to read more »

How Can You Defend Drunk Drivers »
Most people are outraged about the fact that lawyers defend drunk drivers. But according to most of the lawyers, they don’t defend drunk drivers: they only defend citizens who have been accused of being drunk drivers.
Defending someone who has been accused by the police of a crime, especially when it’s DUI, causes the image of criminal defense attorneys to deteriorate. And no doubt, every defense attorney gets tired of the question that he is asked at every party: “How can you defend guilty people?”
The answer to this question is quite complex, as it involves the issues of possible innocence of the driver, inaccurate or false evidence against the offender, overcharging by the prosecutor, ensuring a fair trial, protection from unfair laws and harsh or illegal punishment.

Due Process and Automatic DUI License Suspensions »
So last night you were stopped by the cops and then they arrested you for drunk driving. And just after the Breathalyzer showed that the reading of a blood-alcohol level was .12%, the officer take away your driver’s license and gave you a piece of paper on which it was mentioned that your license was immediately suspended.
Here several questions comes in your mind that you might be wanted to ask, you may ask that what happened?. Are they allowed to do that? I thought I was believed to be innocent, and it is necessary for the state to prove my guilt that should be beyond a reasonable doubt before that they can punish me. And I remember something about "due process": Are they able to suspend my license for DUI before giving me a chance to defend myself?

Understanding Search and Seizure Law: What if a Search Violates the Fourth Amendment? »
Here I am explaining you that in case if the search violates the fourth amendment than what could happen.
The Exclusionary Rule.
If, upon review, it has been found by the court that an unreasonable search has been occurred, then any evidence seized as a result of that search could not be allowed by the court to use as direct evidence against the defendant in a criminal prosecution, state or federal. This rule has been established by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1961and it has come to be known as the “exclusionary rule.”
After this day, the exclusionary rule has been criticized by many commentators on the basis that it unfairly lets the criminal go free just because the constable has erred. But the supporter of the rule argued that excluding illegally seized evidence is necessary to restrict police from conducting illegal searches. According to this deterrence argument, if the resulting evidence can’t be used to convict the defendant then the improper searches won’t be conducted by police.
