4. Drinking After Driving
If you consumed alcohol subsequent to driving and prior to arrest, then the Mendocino police officer's observations of your behavior later, and the alcohol test results later, cannot be an accurate reflection of your level of alcohol or impairment at the time of driving. This allows a Mendocino County DUI attorney to point to often fatal proof problems for the Mendocino County prosecutor and for the Santa Rosa DMV.
This defense is strongest for your DUI lawyer when your test results show low blood alcohol levels and/or if you offered a credible drinking history at the time you were interviewed by the Mendocino police, and if there are disinterested witnesses to the after-driving consumption.
