Please note-this is an example of the disposition of a recent New Hampshire DWI case. It is by no means a guarantee of any particular result in any other case.

BASIC FACTS: A police officer followed a driver for a few minutes after midnight.  The officer saw the driver “weave” or “swerve” “within his lane”, the hallmark of late night “reasonable articulable suspicion” by the police.  The officer followed the driver for a while and then forced the driver to stop by activated the blue strobe lights on his patrol car.  The driver pulled his car over and waited for the officer to approach his window.  The officer demanded that the driver provide his license and registration.  The driver complied with this command.

After smelling a “moderate odor of alcohol”, the officer ordered the driver to step out of his car for the customary DWI tri-fecta of “field sobriety tests”.  The driver decided to agree to perform the “tests”.  The officer conducted the “pen test” which is also known as the “horizontal gaze nystagmus test” or “HGN test”.  This is a roadside ritual in which the officer waives the pen and makes a conclusion that the driver is drunk based on the way her pupils move.  The driver agreed to perform the pen test, which he surprisingly “passed”.  Next the officer asked him to walk down a line in heel to toe fashion with his arms by his side.  The driver showed only minor transgressions on this exercise.  Despite passing the first two field sobriety tests, the officer plowed ahead and conducted another one:  the “one leg stand” test.  The officer then asked the driver to stand on one leg for 30 seconds, while counting one, one thousand, two, one thousand all the way up to “thirty, one thousand”.  The driver performed that test perfectly.  Despite near flawless performance on all the field sobriety tests, the officer charged the driver with “driving while intoxicated” (“DWI”) any way.  The driver chose to give blood for the police to use as evidence against him, which resulted in a .03 blood alcohol concentration.  After the arrest, the driver hired Attorney Stevens to fight the DWI charges.
