Victory for New Hampshire Citizens: Supreme Court Rejects State's Effort to Eliminate Your Right to Independent Breath Testing

Important New Hampshire DWI laws update. In an important decision yesterday, the New Hampshire Supreme Court issued an opinion that proposed House Bill 1146, which would have eliminated our citizens' rights to an independent breath test after a DWI arrest, would be unconstitutional. By a 3-2 vote, the Justices ruled that the proposed house bill would violate the Due Process clause of the New Hampshire Constitution. This was a major victory for New Hampshire citizens and protects an important trial safeguard. I have attached a copy of the decision below.
