New Jersey DWI – DUI Lawyer – Driving on a Revoked or Suspended License

March 15, 2016 by

Losing one’s driving privileges is often much more devastating than people anticipate.  You are not able to drive to work—New Jersey does not allow for any temporary, provisional or “work” licenses – you are not able to drive to school; you are not able to drive to the supermarket to purchase food for your children, or take them to the hospital in the event of a life-threatening emergency.  Quite simply, there is no flexibility in the law when it comes to a revoked or suspended driver’s license.  This especially holds true if you live in an area without public transportation, or have no family to assist you.

You may be on the revoked list for many reasons—you may have a prior DWI conviction, you may have failed to pay drunk driving surcharges to the Motor Vehicle Commission, or your license may have been suspended or revoked in another state.  Regardless of the reason for your suspension, if your license has been revoked, you cannot operate a motor vehicle in New Jersey during the period of your suspension for any reason.

Nevertheless, many people decide to drive without a valid license, gambling with their future, and betting that they won’t get caught.  Thousands of drivers on the revoked list are pulled over for routine traffic stops every year in New Jersey.

New Jersey License Suspension

If you are caught driving on a suspended license, you could face enormous fines, a mandatory 90 day jail sentence, steep motor vehicle surcharges, and an additional period of license suspension.  You will also face expensive collateral consequences that can financially hobble you for years (including expensive taxi rides and lost job opportunities).  These are consequences that you will have to face even if you are not aware that your license has been suspended.

There are several strategies that can be employed if you are charged with driving on a revoked license, that at the very least can give you a fighting chance against the imposition of an additional period of license suspension or jail time.  First, the governing statute N.J.S.A. 39:3-40 does not prohibit alternatives to jail time, such as community service, so under certain circumstances it is possible to request an alternative punishment during sentencing.  Second, charges for driving on a suspended license can be reduced through plea bargaining (whereas plea bargaining is not an option for DWI offenses).  Additionally, you may be able to avoid jail time if you entered a plea without being represented by an attorney, or in violation of your constitutional rights or New Jersey Court Rules.

New Jersey DWI/DUI Lawyer: What Happens If I Am Convicted of Drunk Driving in Another State?

March 8, 2016 by

Getting arrested and facing charges for drunk driving can be a very frightening and intimidating experience. You do not know what to expect. These feelings of anxiety may increase if you are arrested out-of-state and far from your home and family. If you are a New Jersey resident, in addition to having to deal with the charges in the state where you were convicted you will also face serious consequences in New Jersey.

Once your out-of-state DUI has been reported, you will probably have your license suspended in New Jersey and face expensive surcharges from the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC). In addition, if you are convicted of drunk driving in New Jersey any time during the ten years following your out-of-state conviction, you will face enhanced penalties in New Jersey as a repeat offender.

Suspension of Your Drivers License

Once you are convicted of DUI out-of-state, the record of your conviction will be reported to the Chief Administrator of the MVC through the Interstate Drivers License Compact (the Compact). The Compact is an interstate agreement between 45 states to exchange information about license suspensions and traffic violations, including DUI offenses. The Compact’s motto is “One Driver, One License, One Record.” The only five states that do not participate in the Compact are Massachusetts, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia and Tennessee; all other states, including the District of Columbia, participate.

When you are convicted in a state that participates in the Compact, your driving record will be affected just as if you had committed the offense in New Jersey. Out-of-state non-moving violations like parking tickets, tinted windows or a loud exhaust pipe will not be reported to the New Jersey MVC. But serious charges like a DWI/DUI will be reported.

For example, if you are convicted of a DWI/DUI in New York or Pennsylvania, your license will be suspended in New Jersey for:

  • 180 days if it is your first DWI/DUI offense
  • 2 years if it is your second DWI/DUI offense
  • 10 years if it is your third (or greater) DWI/DUI offense

All prior convictions (whether out-of-state or in New Jersey) count as prior offenses for determining how long your license will be administratively suspended.

Motor Vehicle Surcharges

Surcharges are fines assessed by the New Jersey Surcharge Violation System. If you have too many points on your license for moving violations, or if you are convicted of a DWI, you are liable for a surcharge in addition to any court fines and penalties you have to pay in the state where you were convicted. Once your out-of-state conviction is reported to the MVC, you will have to pay $1000 per year for the next three years. If the conviction is your second within three years, or your third offense, you will have to pay $1500 per year for the next three years.

Sentencing Enhancements

Violation of any law that is “substantially similar” to New Jersey’s own DWI statute will constitute a prior conviction if you are later convicted of a DWI in New Jersey. This is true even if the state where you were convicted is not a signatory to the Compact.

New Jersey DWI – DUI Lawyer Edward M. Janzekovich – Mixing Prescription Drugs and Alcohol—A Dangerous Combination

March 1, 2016 by

When an individual is arrested for driving under the influence, law enforcement may opt to charge them with driving under the influence of alcohol, a drug, or a combination of both. A person can be found guilty even if the amount of alcohol consumed would be less than the legal limit of .08 percent. This is because the combined effect of drugs and alcohol can produce a synergistic effect—such that even if either substance alone might not impair the driver, their combined effect renders a driver profoundly impaired.

In New Jersey, you can be charged with a DWI even if you are under the influence of over-the-counter drugs or prescription medication that has been legally prescribed to you. Many recent studies demonstrate that common medications, particularly allergy medications, may impair a person’s driving even more than alcohol.

Common medications that can result in a drug-impaired driving charge include:

  • Sleeping pills, such as Ambien
  • Allergy medication, such as Benadryl
  • Cough syrup, such as Nyquil or Codeine-based syrups
  • Prescription painkillers, including Tylenol 3, Vicodin and OxyContin
  • Anti-anxiety medications, such as Ativan, Xanax and other benzodiazepines
  • Antidepressants
  • Muscle relaxers

In the typical scenario where both drugs and alcohol are involved, police will first arrest a motorist for driving under the influence of alcohol. Then, after administering field sobriety tests and a breathalyzer test, if the breathalyzer results and field sobriety test results do not correlate (because the driver appears to be more impaired than the breathalyzer results indicate), police may seek blood or urine samples to determine whether the driver is under the influence of drugs.

Many drugs stay in a person’s system for long periods of time, and can be detected in a person’s blood or urine long after the impairing effects have worn off. Therefore, to be convicted of a DWI in New Jersey for drug use, a driver will most likely be subject to a series of tests conducted by a drug recognition expert. If such an expert is not available at the police station when the driver is tested, the test results may become inadmissible in court.

New Jersey DWI – DUI Lawyer Edward Janzekovich – DUI – DWI Checkpoints

February 23, 2016 by

In general, police officers in New Jersey can only stop a vehicle if they have a reasonable suspicion that an offense has been committed. They must also be able to specifically describe the grounds for their suspicion. Despite this constitutional protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, police may randomly stop drivers at sobriety checkpoints (also called roadblocks) even if they have no reason to believe that anyone in the vehicle committed an offense. Because random checkpoint stops are such an intrusive law enforcement technique, the police must be able to show a rational basis for establishing the roadblock. There are strict requirements for both setting up and executing roadblocks.

What To Expect At A Sobriety Checkpoint

As you approach a road block, you should see signs and lighting designating the checkpoint area. You will be required to slow down and wait for your turn to be processed through the checkpoint. Police officers will detain drivers in a pre-selected pattern (for example, every driver or every fifth driver). Drivers cannot be stopped on their appearance alone.

If you are stopped, you will be detained for a brief period of time. Police may ask basic questions, request documentation and look for signs that you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If you exhibit these signs, you will be asked to move your car to a separate area where you will be asked to undergo a field sobriety test.

Roadblock Requirements

The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures. This means that if police do not follow the proper procedures for setting up and executing a roadblock, any evidence obtained may be inadmissible in court—including breathalyzer or blood test results. Courts will consider various factors in determining whether a roadblock was proper, including:

  • Whether notice of the time, date and location of the roadblock was published in advance
  • Whether advance warning was given to individual approaching motorists (use of lights, signs, etc.)
  • Whether statistical data demonstrates that the roadblock was set up in a particularly problematic location for drinking and driving
  • Whether public safety and awareness are fostered by the checkpoint
  • The time of day when the roadblock is conducted
  • Average length each motorist is detained
  • Whether less intrusive measures could have been used to combat drunk driving in the area

Police officers and state troopers do not have the authority to select a DUI checkpoint location or time. They must first receive a directive from their commanding officer.

What Happens if I Attempt to Evade a Roadblock?

If you are intoxicated and attempt to evade a properly established road block, this may give police sufficient reasonable suspicion to stop your vehicle.

New Jersey DUI Lawyer Edward M. Janzekovich Represents Drivers Who Have Been Charged With DWI at Police Roadblocks

State and federal laws carefully protect the rights of citizens to be free from unlawful searches and seizures. If you were stopped at a sobriety checkpoint and arrested for driving under the influence, New Jersey DWI lawyer Edward M. Janzekovich will obtain all documents relating to the establishment of the road block, and analyze it to determine whether it was legal. I will also look at the circumstances surrounding your stop to determine whether police followed proper procedures and detained you for a reasonable amount of time. Unreasonable detentions raise different constitutional issues and may provide you with additional defenses.

Field Sobriety Tests in New Jersey

February 16, 2016 by

New Jersey DWI – DUI Lawyer Edward M. Janzekovich

Field Sobriety Test Attorney in New Jersey

When you think of getting pulled over for suspected drunk driving, you might think of police administering a breathalyzer test to determine whether you are intoxicated. Or you might think of the more “old school” field sobriety tests depicted in so many movies, where police ask a driver to walk in a straight line, follow a flashlight with their eyes, or count while standing on one foot.

In New Jersey, law enforcement officers are supposed to conduct both types of testing. A field sobriety test is often given first at the side of the road, so police can build probable cause to conduct a breathalyzer test later at the police station or take you to the hospital for a blood test. Another reason police have you perform field sobriety tests is because it is used to serve as “backup” evidence in case the breathalyzer results are later found to be inadmissible. However, the results of field sobriety tests are also often inadmissible, because so many factors can invalidate results.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has developed three specific tests that, if performed properly, are considered reliable evidence of intoxication, but only two of them can be admitted as proof of intoxication in New Jersey:

The Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) Test

In performing this test, officers will ask the driver to follow a small object, usually a flashlight or pen, with their eyes. In order for results to be accurate, the object must be held 12-15 inches away from the face and just above the eyes. Not all individuals are appropriate candidates for this test. An officer should check for equal pupil size and other indications that the driver may have a medical disorder, head injury or visual impairment, in which case the test should not be administered. In New Jersey, this test is not considered scientifically reliable and it cannot be admitted as proof of intoxication at trial.

The Walk and Turn

This test involves walking a straight line, heel to toe. Signs of impairment include not keeping balance while instructions are being given, starting before the officer instructs you to, stopping while walking, missing the heel to toe step, stepping off the line, using arms to balance, turning improperly or taking the wrong number of steps. Certain factors create good reasons for challenging the results of this test—for example if a person has balancing problems, is overweight, elderly, wearing high heels, has a knee injury, or if the test is conducted in a bad area such as poor lighting, garbage in the road, or an uneven road surface.

The One-Leg Stand

Officers will require a driver to stand with his or her arms down, and lift one foot six inches off the ground with pointed toes, looking down at the raised foot while counting out loud (one thousand and one, one thousand and two, one thousand and three, etc.) for thirty seconds. Signs of impairment include swaying, use of arms to balance, hopping or putting down a foot. Again, many people are not good candidates for this test. Advanced age, health conditions, inappropriate footwear or terrain all call the reliability of this test into question.

There is no statutory penalty for refusing to perform a field sobriety test, however if you do refuse, a judge is allowed to treat your refusal to do them as if you were too drunk to do them, so make sure you do the tests if asked.

On paper, these field sobriety tests seem simple enough. But are they? It’s late at night, you are tired, police cars are flashing lights, you are surrounded by police with flashlights pointed at you. It quickly becomes a very intimidating experience as you are wondering to yourself if you are going to lose your license and go to jail. This is exactly why if you find yourself in this situation, you need to contact us immediately.

New Jersey Appellate Court Rejects DWI – DUI Refusal Challenge

January 29, 2016 by

On January 28, 2016 a New Jersey Appellate Court rejects a DWI / DUI refusal challenge that the Standard Statement police are required to read is defective. The argument is that the Statement does not fully advise a person in custody for suspected DWI / DUI of the exact potential penalties they will be charged with if they refuse to provide a breath sample for testing to determine if they are drunk driving in New Jersey.

The defendant argued that “she should have been told that the mandatory minimum license revocation would be seven months,” and that “up to 20 years can mean anywhere between 0 days to 20 years.” She also challenged that she should have been told the mandatory minimum fine would be between $300 and $500, and that it would result in her having to install an ignition interlock device in her vehicle for a certain period of time.

In reality, the situation does potentially get even more confusing because in New Jersey – when a person is arrested for suspected DWI / DUI – most times, just prior to being read this Statement, they are also advised of their Miranda Rights, and the police then have them sign a rights card. Miranda says you have a right to remain silent, and the right to have an attorney. Then one minute later, you are read the Statement, which says you have no legal right to have an attorney, that you cannot remain silent, and that you must answer the question.

The take away from this, do not drink and drive, but if you are asked to provide a breath sample by a law enforcement officer, provide it, then hire a New Jersey DWI / DUI lawyer / attorney to help you. (you must supply at a minimum 2 good breath samples for the Alcotest to generate a test result and avoid a refusal charge.)

The Ignition Interlock Device – New Jersey DWI, DUI or Refusal to Submit a Breath Sample

December 2, 2015 by

DWI-DUI Charges in New Jersey

In New Jersey, if you are convicted or plead guilty to a DWI / DUI or Refusal to Submit a Breath Sample, most likely you will have to install an ignition interlock device in your car. The device essentially works as a bypass to the ignition of your vehicle which requires a breath sample to be supplied before the vehicle will start. It will also require periodic samples as the vehicle is operated for longer time frames to keep it running so as to ensure the operator is not consuming alcohol after the initial start up.

As a first offender with less than a .15% BAC (blood alcohol concentration), the sentencing judge is not mandated to have you install it, although he or she may depending on surrounding circumstances of your incident. Once your BAC reaches .15%, the judge is mandated to order the installation of the device into the vehicle principally operated. The device must be installed all through the period of suspension and an additional six months to one year (judge discretion) after you get your license back.

A first offender who refused to submit a breath sample will be required to install an ignition interlock device as well, with the rationale that the breath sample would have been a .15% BAC or higher. Another reason to provide a breath sample – but most people learn of this incentive after the fact.

As a second offender, it does not matter what your blood alcohol concentration was as long as it was a minimum of .08% BAC. The license suspension for a second offender is 2 years, and the device must be installed in the vehicle principally operated during the entire period of license suspension and an additional one to three years (judge discretion) after you get your license restored.

As a third offender, it does not matter what your blood alcohol concentration was as long as it was a minimum of .08% BAC. The license suspension for a third offender is ten years, and the device must be installed in the vehicle principally operated during the entire period of license suspension and an additional one to three years (judge discretion) after you get your license restored.

A common question is, why do I have to put this device in my car during the period of suspension if I cannot drive anyway. That answer is not clear. Other states have interlock laws and penalties for DWI, and it appears New Jersey copied the laws from other states. The discrepancy is that other states allow you to drive during the period of suspension for very limited reasons.

Other states will grant a very limited purpose license to travel to work or school, and most require you to install an ignition interlock device in your vehicle prior to being granted that class. New Jersey does not offer a temporary, hardship or work only license, as many other states do.

Police Can Search Your Car Without a Warrant…Again.

September 24, 2015 by

No Warrant Required

Today, the New Jersey Supreme Court just reversed its position on the Warrant Requirement for searches of motor vehicles. NJ Supreme Court ruled in 2009 that police must obtain a warrant to search a motor vehicle, unless exigent circumstances were present. State v Pena Flores (2009).

This morning they decided in State v Witt, that the exigent circumstances standard set forth in Pena-Flores was unsound in principle and unworkable in practice to obtain warrants. They ruled that: The Automobile Exception authorizes the warrantless search of an automobile only when the police have probable cause to believe that the vehicle contains contraband or evidence of an offense and the circumstances giving rise to probable cause are unforeseeable and spontaneous.

The Pena-Flores rule basically required police to request consent to search the vehicle from the owner/operator of the vehicle if probable cause was present, and if denied, they could apply for a telephonic warrant to search the vehicle.  Consent is no longer required.

Allowing a Drunk Driver to Operate a Motor Vehicle in NJ

September 8, 2015 by

 

Most people are aware that if they operate a motor vehicle while intoxicated, they can be charged with a DWI offense. But what very few people are aware of is that even if you are not driving the vehicle, you could still be found guilty of a DWI violation.

The New Jersey DWI statute is NJSA 39:4-50. Section (A) of this statute states: Except as provided in subsection (g) (school zone) of this section, a person who operates a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor, narcotic, hallucinogenic or habit-producing drug, or operates a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of.08% or more by weight of alcohol in the defendants blood or permits another person who is under the influence of intoxicating liquor, narcotic, hallucinogenic or habit-producing drug to operate a motor vehicle owned by him or in his custody or control or permits another to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of.08% or more by weight of alcohol in the defendants blood shall be subject : The penalties are all exactly the same regardless if you are driving drunk or allowing a person to drive drunk. The New jersey Supreme Court holds the Allowing offense at the same level of responsibility as the act of actual drunk driving, banning any plea bargaining, adhering to the Zero Tolerance policy. In State v Hessan, the Court said ” The act of unleashing a drunk driver onto the highways creates the very risk to the safety of other drivers and the public that is posed by the intoxicated driver.”  However, on an Allowing offense, the State has to prove additional different elements than the original DWI charge.

The State has to prove that the person being charged with the allowing offense had owned the vehicle or had custody and control over it. The State also has to prove that the person being charged with the allowing offense had knowledge of the intoxication of the driver and had their consent to operate the vehicle. These elements are not so easy to prove at times.

A typical scenario for an allowing a drunk driver to operate a motor vehicle violation is when two or more friends go out drinking.  At the end of the night, the driver tells the passengers that he is too drunk to drive home, and one of the passengers decide to drive home because they are only buzzed. The police stop the vehicle, the drunk owner is sound asleep in the passenger seat completely unaware as to what is happening. Both are arrested and charged with DWI.  The same scenario happens if the registered owner of the vehicle is completely sober, in the passenger seat, but the driver is intoxicated. This is typically a husband and wife scenario in the vehicle.

If you or a loved one has been charged with an Allowing offense, you should hire a lawyer whose sole practice specializes in DWI / DUI defense. The facts and circumstances surrounding the allegation of the charge need to be closely examined to identify available defenses and mitigating factors.

The Law Office of Edward M. Janzekovich is a law firm with a sole focus of defending persons charged with DWI / DUI related offenses. The defense strategy used is to identify legal discrepancies in police procedure that implicate constitutional, medical, scientific or evidentiary issues, with the motor vehicle stop, field sobriety tests and blood alcohol tests.
