- It is known by any experienced criminal attorney that when dealing with a drunk driving offense truth, justice and fairness can be rare commodities in our courts. This thing has has become such a common phenomena that now a label has been acquired by it and that is: "The DUI exception to the Constitution". When it comes to cases that involves driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, it looks like there is a distinct bias in favor of "streamlining" procedures and facilitating convictions.
It might be suggested by the cynics that this may have something to do with political considerations with the desire of some judges to get reelected. We will discuss that about that in a moment….. Right now, let’s take a look at an example of what kind of thinking goes on in a DUI case in the judicial mind. In fact, let us take example from the highest court of the most populated state in the country: the Supreme Court of California.

What is the DUI Exception to the Constitution? »
Here on this website we will tell you about the other side of the story….
For years we had hear about the “slaughter on the nation’s highways”, we have also read tragic stories of people dying as a result of fatal hit by drunk drivers.
Pressure groups such as MADD have gained wild success in fomenting public hysteria and, and no politician could ever had such courage to oppose them, they have been pushing through ever stricter DUI laws and most harsh punishments. As a result of all these things, we are given a repeated assurance that the number of “alcohol related” traffic fatalities have continued to decrease dramatically.
