What not to do on a field sobriety test.
October 13, 2009 by Zale.
An officer pulls over soon to be DUI defendant. The officer asks the soon to be DUI defendant to do some standard field sobriety tests. Obviously at the “top of his/her game” the soon to be DUI defendant says, “sure, if you’ll do them with me.” The questioning officer declines off handed offer, but the officer’s partner, who has been watching up to this point, gladly accepts the offer. The officer’s partner completes the tests perfectly while the very soon to be DUI defendant falls all over his/herself. Of course, all of this is caught on the officer’s dashboard camera.
So, whether you comply or not with an officer’s request to do a field sobriety test is up to you, but please, don’t ask an officer to serve as a bench mark on how the test should be completed, unless you know FOR A FACT that the other officer is drunker than you are.

Frivolous Litigation
October 10, 2008 by Zale.
I know that I’m a bit of an anomaly, since I am a conservative trial lawyer (yes, we do exist and I will tell Sasquatch and Nessi hello for you). Like many Americans, frivolous litigation just drives me nuts.
Here’s a good example. The headline is: “Judge Tosses Hair Dye Lawsuit for Blonde Who Had Less Fun as Brunette”. Apparently this lady had to be on anti-depressants since she claimed that brown hair dye was in a box labeled “blonde”. “Oh the humanity!” I’m pretty sure that if this lady was on anti-depressants, it wasn’t solely due to this hair incident. Wouldn’t it have made more sense just to go to the salon instead of the shrink?
