Marietta DUI Video Evidence
Smile! If you were recently arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) in Marietta, your arrest might have been caught on video. Indeed, it is becoming increasingly common for members of law enforcement to document arrests via video recordings. As a result, more and more police vehicles now have video cameras in place, and a number of officers are wearing microphones to ensure every detail of your arrest is captured on camera. However, don’t let the Marietta DUI video evidence fool you—in many cases, the footage can actually prove beneficial for your defense.Depending on when the officer began recording, your arrest video may include footage of your vehicle in action. This means that the video should show that you were speeding, driving erratically, or acting in any other way that would lead an officer to pull you over. Because the law specifies there must be probable cause for law enforcement to stop a vehicle, if the footage shows you were driving normally and obeying traffic laws in the area, any further video evidence may be called into question.
Your DUI video may also prove useful for challenging your field sobriety and/or breathalyzer test results. If, for example, the footage reveals the officer did not provide clear instructions for any of the tests he or she administered, the results may be inadmissible in court. What’s more, because field sobriety tests are entirely subjective—meaning it is left up to one person to determine whether you fail or pass them (in this case, a police officer who already suspects you are under the influence of alcohol)—you may even be able to challenge whether you actually failed your tests.
