Алекс Андрющенко — русскоязычный адвокат по уголовным делам в Лос-Анджелесе Недавний скандал в Чикаго показал, насколько ненадёжными могут быть лабораторные исследования в уголовных делах. Университетская лаборатория при Иллинойсском университете более восьми лет проводила тесты на ТГК (тетрагидроканнабинол) у водителей, и позже выяснилось: методы были научно необоснованными.Анализы мочи использовались вместо крови, а метаболиты вещества ошибочно «переводились» обратно в ТГК — что давало ложные результаты и приводило к обвинениям невиновных людей. Та же проблема — и в Калифорнии Хотя скандал произошёл в Иллинойсе, его выводы актуальны и для Лос-Анджелеса.Во многих случаях лаборатории, работающие с полицией или прокуратурой, не проводят надлежащие проверки оборудования, не фиксируют калибровку приборов и не отличают соединения ТГК — дельта-8 и дельта-9.В результате — отчёты, на которых строится обвинение, […]

Americans Are Drinking Less Than Ever According to a new Gallup poll, only 54% of U.S. adults now drink alcohol — the lowest number Gallup has recorded in nearly 90 years. The average drinker now consumes just 2.8 drinks per week, and 40% say it’s been more than a week since their last drink. Even more striking, a majority (53%) of Americans now believe that even moderate drinking — one or two drinks a day — is bad for your health. WASHINGTON, D.C. — The percentage of U.S. adults who say they consume alcohol has fallen to 54%, the lowest by one percentage point in Gallup’s nearly 90-year trend. This coincides with a growing belief among Americans that moderate alcohol […]

By Alex Andryuschenko – Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney When most people think of a DUI, they assume alcohol consumption is the only cause of a failed breath test. But what if a person hasn’t had a drop to drink—and still blows a positive result? For individuals with diabetes, those who are fasting, or people on low-carb ketogenic diets, this is not only possible—it’s scientifically documented. As a Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney, I regularly come across cases where innocent drivers are arrested based on flawed breath test results. One of the most overlooked causes of false positive BAC readings is acetone, a compound naturally produced by the body. What Is Acetone, and Why Is It in Your Breath? Acetone […]

Many people assume that police officers can immediately arrest a driver if they notice any signs of alcohol consumption. However, the reality is that many individuals drive after consuming some alcohol, and the mere smell of alcohol, unusual behavior, or the presence of an open container in the car does not automatically justify an arrest. Los Angeles DUI Attorney strongly believes that these factors alone are insufficient to establish probable cause for a lawful DUI arrest. What Constitutes Probable Cause for a DUI Arrest? Probable cause typically requires a combination of observable factors, such as: The smell of alcohol Slurred speech Poor coordination Other indicators of intoxication The term “probable cause” originates from the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Law enforcement officers in California have several legal authorities under which they can tow a vehicle. Whether it’s for a Los Angeles DUI arrest, a criminal investigation, or other violations, understanding your rights is crucial. In some cases, police can hold an impounded vehicle for up to 30 days.

Common Reasons Police Tow Vehicles Fighting an Impound & Requesting Early Release If your vehicle has been impounded, you have the right to a post-storage hearing to contest the tow or request […]

RESTITUTION PAYMENT IN DUI CASES Any conviction for a DUI can result not only in payment of money to the courts in fines and costs, but it can also result in payment of money to “victims” as part of the compensation for any direct loss that they suffered. In California law, victims are defined broadly but in DUI cases it usually means those who got injured in DUI traffic accidents. If you are convicted of a DUI case you can be ordered to pay thousands of dollars to the victims of a DUI collision to compensate them for all of their expenses. The best way to protect yourself from paying large sums of money to the victims is to fight […]

What are your Options for DUI Defense? Who is going to represent you in court after a DUI arrest? It is often a tough decision. Money is always a factor and legal representation can be expensive. A public defender might be a good alternative for persons who do not have money, however, some people try to avoid having a public defender represent them. This is especially true in DUI cases where a successful defense can be used to save your driver’s license and your job. More so, this is also relevant in multiple DUI cases or in cases where injuries are alleged because it helps avoid jail time for crimes disliked by the courts and the prosecutors. Unlike the Public […]

The arrest and prosecution of a DUI case involve specific legal steps that must be followed or the case will fall apart. The DUI investigation is highly technical with the police officer training playing a major role in whether the case can be prosecuted. The police officer must not only follow all the legal requirements but also he must follow all the scientific requirements during the investigation. In addition, to pull your car over, the police officer must have a reasonable suspicion to start the investigation and probable cause to arrest you. During the investigation, the police officer will usually take copious notes to build a criminal case against you to prove your guilt. Often, even slight errors by the […]
