What is a Bail Hearing? By New Hampshire DWI Attorney Mark Stevens 1.603.893.0074

When you are accused of a crime, bail is set.  Bail amounts and conditions are set for two primary reasons: one is to make sure you show up at court and the other is to make sure you're not a danger to yourself or any one else.  If you or someone you know has an arraignment in court coming up  contacting a NH criminal defense lawyer to help you make the right decisions is imperative. The first chance at an opportunity to receive a reduction in bail is at the arraignment, the next is at a bail hearing! It is inadvisable to try to  handle matters like these on your own, contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer who practices regularly in the court you're headed to.  Call Attorney Mark Stevens if you would like to discuss a possible reduction in bail at 1-603-893-0074 today for a free consultation and initial case evaluation, or visit us at ByeByeDWI.com or NHCrime.com.

 Two Key Factors in Determining Bail Reduction:

1. FLIGHT RISK 

•  Whether the accused is a person who is likely to flee the jurisdiction in order to avoid prosecution and conviction. 

• In court the flight risk factor is used when they decide whether or not to grant bail or surety bond to an individual, and it is an important factor is setting the bond amount. Courts can decide to set higher bail if the defendant has a high risk of flight.

2. LEVEL OF THREAT INDIVIDUAL PRESENTS TO THE SAFETY OF THE COMMUNITY

• A person's level of danger, violence, and general risk to the safety of the community is the second factor considered. in New Hampshire individuals charged with 1st Degree Murder are held until trial and are never released on bail. First Offense DWI charges, on the other hand, usually call for personal recognizance bail.

If the Police think you're buzzed from marijuana, controlled substances, and yes, even over the counter medications (including cough syrup) you can be charged with a DWI in the state of New Hampshire. New Hampshire's DWI penalties and consequences are relentlessly unforgiving. 

These harsh legal penalties can haunt citizens busted for driving under the alleged influence of weed just as long as a drunk driving charge. Don't put yourself (or your reputation) in the hot seat if the cops want to stop and ask you questions,  take Attorney Mark Stevens advice: Lawyer Up and Shut Up. You Don't Have to Talk to the Cops!

Happy St. Patrick's Day from Salem, New Hampshire DWI & Criminal Defense Lawyer Mark Stevens!

New Hampshire DWI Laws. Make sure your lights, including your plate lights and brake lights, are working and that your license and registration are up to date before you drive anywhere with a green mouth; the cops will be looking for excuses to pull over vehicles on St. Patrick’s Day Eve so don’t give them a reason to stop you!    Like in the case of DWI roadblocks, there usually are not enough drunk drivers on the road to keep them all busy, so there will likely be a lot of other arrests, like operating after license suspension, possession of marijuana, and other victimless crimes and violations.  Don’t give them a chance to hassle you.

The police sometimes arrest people for drug impairment if they can’t smell alcohol or if the driver passes the breath test.  Once a driver passes a breath test, a whole extra gauntlet of aerobics are performed by the police on the driver to “detect drug impairment”.  If they’re told to find some drug impaired drivers they will probably find some and now  more than ever due to new laws passed as of January 1, 2013 regarding Drug Impairment, you can now be arrested for driving under the influence of cough syrup or aspirin! Don't get caught in this trap- Remember You Don't Have to Talk to the Cops. Lawyer Up & Shut Up- Then Call Mark Stevens! 603.893.0261 (24/7)
