Memorial Day DUI Task Force

Posted by Raymond Kimble | Jul 09, 2015 | 0 Comments

Just like every other year, the police will be out in full force looking for impaired drivers over the holiday weekend.  The holiday DUI task forces will be especially focused on the downtown Scottsdale areas as well as Tempe and the roads returning from nearby lakes.  Although it is never a good idea to drink and drive, if you are stopped I suggest the following helpful hints:

1. Be courteous to the officer and provide your license, registration and insurance

2. Do not offer any information about what you've had to drink.  You can politely refuse to answer any incriminating questions.

3. Do not participate in the roadside tests. This includes the HGN (eye test), the Walk and Turn or One Leg Stand.

4.  If you are arrested and asked to provide a blood, breath or urine sample, immediately request to speak with an attorney.  Additionally,  you should also advise the officer you would like to arrange for an independent test.

About Raymond Kimble Attorney Raymond Kimble has built his law practice on the philosophy that each client deserves consistent individual attention.

Ray was a police officer for ten years prior to becoming an attorney. As a police officer, Ray was trained in both DUI and criminal investigation and his personal involvement in criminal cases while a police officer certainly gives him a unique perspective when reviewing police reports, interviewing witnesses and challenging physical evidence. Ray often identifies legal issues or mistakes made by police during an investigation through his own personal experience as a patrol officer. In addition to his police experience, Raymond Kimble worked as a prosecutor with the Maricopa County Attorney's Office where he was responsible for prosecuting DUI, felony and misdemeanor crimes. During his tenure as a prosecutor, Ray conducted a number of jury trials and hearings related to the admissibility of evidence. Through his involvement with these cases as a prosecutor, Ray learned how to properly evaluate the strength and weaknesses of a DUI, misdemeanor or felony charge and became skilled in jury selection, argument, and the direct and cross examination of both civilian witnesses, experts and police officers. Of course, Raymond Kimble's expertise extends beyond his experience as a police officer and prosecutor. Specifically, Ray has successfully represented thousands of people during the last fifteen years throughout Maricopa County, Arizona.
