New Hampshire Drivers Beware This Memorial Day Weekend : Extra Cops On Duty

“State Police from New Hampshire and Massachusetts advise residents and visitors on increased Memorial Day weekend patrols,” TheExeterPatch.com.

  (Video, ExeterPatch.com) 

New Hampshire DWI Laws.   Beware New Hampshire drivers! Beginning today, May 25th and ending at Midnight on Monday May 28th, the Massachusetts and New Hampshire State Police plan on super-saturating all major state roads and highways.  The state police will spread their reach from NH - MA state borders to MA - ME state lines. They are looking to make DWI arrests and drug possession arrests all over New Hampshire and Massachusetts. The police will be swarming in marked and unmarked vehicles and even using airplanes to slow you down.  This is also traditionally a big weekend for police "DWI roadblocks" in New Hampshire, and crackdowns on texting and driving are expected.  

Extra high visibility patrols will be on I-93 from I-495 in Massachusetts to the Hooksett Toll Booth Plaza in NH and on I-95 in MA up through the ME state border as well. The Department of Transportation is amping up courtesy patrol units on I-93 between Exit 4 and the MA state line with numerous DWI and speeding detail units patrolling the roads all weekend. Extra troopers have been employed especially in Hampton Beach using every extra motorcycle patrol unit available to assist the Hampton Police. In Northeastern Massachusetts, MA State Troopers will be conducting sobriety checkpoints 1 of 3 days this weekend as part of the "Click it or Ticket" Operations initiative, as well as, "multiple saturation patrols," according to Maj. Edward Amodes of the MSP. 

 

Have a Safe Memorial Day Weekend,

Arrested for DWI? Presented by Guest Blogger VA DUI Attorney Ann Thayer of Price Benowitz LLP

Arrested for DWI?

Presented by Guest Blogger VA DUI Attorney Price Benowitz LLP 

Have you been charged with a DUI in the Commonwealth of Virginia? Are you unsure of the legal implications of a Virginia DUI and where to turn for assistance? Ahead, you’ll find information explaining the nature of a DUI charge and how an experienced Virginia DUI attorney can help. 

The stress related to a criminal charge can be enormous, but understanding the law and your rights can assist you in moving forward.  In the future, you can avoid a DUI and the related consequences by refraining from driving after drinking. It’s as simple as that—if you’ve had a drink, don’t drive.   Driving under the influence is an extremely serious charge, and with some of the toughest DUI laws in the nation, Virginia seeks to prosecute these charges aggressively. Cases move quickly and involve a variety of elements ranging from the evidentiary to the constitutional.

In Virginia, a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08 or higher means you are legally considered to be driving under the influence and therefore in violation of the Commonwealth’s criminal code. Whether you are operating a car, motorcycle, moped on a public highway, boat, or other watercraft, the BAC limit of 0.08 is applicable. If you’ve been charged with a DUI, it means that you either met this threshold or had a lower BAC level but were nevertheless found to be impaired while operating a motor vehicle.  If involved in a car accident, law enforcement—with probable cause—may arrest you for a DUI for up to three hours from the time of the accident. Additionally, all Virginia DUIs are automatically reported to the Central Criminal Records Exchange. In other words, a DUI arrest in the Commonwealth of Virginia may mean you now have a criminal record. Such a record could impact your ability to seek employment, rent an apartment, and obtain desired and/or necessary security clearances.

Penalties for a DUI vary in severity and depend on whether it was your first, second, or third offense or beyond. An aggressive legal defense can help mitigate, reduce, or eliminate serious consequences and protect your Virginia driving privileges.  Price Benowitz LLP’s Virginia DUI lawyers have a record of success—aggressively working to defend against DUI charges and protect their client’s interests. The team at Price Benowitz LLP understands the importance of a strong attorney-client relationship and will work with you to achieve an optimal outcome.

This blog post is presented by the Virginia criminal defense attorneys at Price Benowitz LLP. Attorney Ann Thayer manages the Virginia practice with years of experience, focusing solely on criminal defense.

Do You Know Someone Whose Been Busted at a House Party?

New Hampshire Minor in Possession of Alcohol Laws

Plug my number 1-603-893-0074 into your phone right now so you have it when you need it most. Here is a new YouTube Video for prom and graduation season.  New Hampshire has tough underage drinking laws. 

Hi everyone, prom season is right around the corner.  For many high school students this is one of the most exciting times of the year!  Lots of preparations, pre-prom and post prom plans, parties, hair appointments and other end of the year activities and social events dominate every one's calendar.  It is important to remember that it is illegal for people under the age of 21 to use or possess alcohol or illegal drugs.  New Hampshire has really tough penalties for underage drinking and drug possession.  Be safe this prom season, don't drink and drive and enjoy this prom season and graduation! And remember, if you do have unwanted encounters with the police call Attorney Mark Stevens 24/7 at 1-603-893-0074. 

Here is New Hampshire's "Unlawful Intoxication and Minor in Possession" Law: RSA 179:10

 I. Except as provided in RSA 179:23, any person under the age of 21 years who has in his or her possession any liquor or alcoholic beverage, or who is intoxicated by consumption of an alcoholic beverage, shall be guilty of a violation and shall be fined a minimum of $300. Any second and subsequent offense shall be fined at least $600. For purposes of this section, alcohol concentration as defined in RSA 259:3-b of .02 or more shall be prima facie evidence of intoxication. No portion of this mandatory minimum fine shall be waived, continued for sentencing, or suspended by the court. In addition to the penalties provided in this section, the court may, in its discretion, impose further penalties authorized by RSA 263:56-b.   

II. Except for persons convicted on the basis of intoxication, any person under the age of 21 years convicted of unlawful possession of liquor or beverage shall forfeit the same, and it shall be disposed of as the court directs. The proceeds, if any, shall be paid into the treasury of the county in which the proceedings were determined.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! New Hampshire DWI Lawyer Mark Stevens 1-603-893-0074

New Hampshire DWI laws . Happy St. Patrick's Day every one.  Please celebrate responsibly.  It sounds as though there will be a higher than usual number of cops on the roads this St. Patrick's Day, so be careful.  The police are clamoring to make a lot of arrests Saturday night as they have targeted this Irish-American day of celebration to clamp down on motorists. The half-million dollar DWI bus is at the Park and Ride in Epping waiting for people to be arrested.

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 Saturday night; the cops will be looking for excuses to pull over vehicles on St. Patrick's Day so don't give them a reason to stop you!  There will be 27 extra patrol units on Rockingham County roads Saturday night.  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 have announced that they will be out on St. Patrick's Day trolling for drunk drivers and "drug impaired drivers".  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.

It may be unwise for you to answer a cop's questions about medications.  If he is asking you about prescription medications he has probably already decided to arrest you; he is now enlisting YOUR help in convicting yourself through admissions about prescription medication use.  Remember, once you have provided your license and registration and identified yourself , you do not need to answer questions during a roadside interrogation.  You have the right to a lawyer and the right to remain silent when the police try to question you about prescription drug use.  Lawyer Up and Shut Up! Here is a YouTube video on this subject:

You can plug my number into your contacts right now on your cell phone in case you are hassled:

If you get arrested feel free to call me at any time. I look forward to speaking with you.

DWI Road Block Case

Hello. Thank you for the many kind words of encouragement I have received regarding the road block case. I have also received inquiries as to when the case will be rescheduled for oral argument. The original date of February 14, 2007 was postponed due the Valentine's Day Nor'easter that day. When the new date is set I will post it here.
