Domestic violance is a serious problem in our society, however the current legal approach to solving this issue is flawed. In an effort to reduce the number of domestic violance incidents, the government tends to be overreaching. In many instances innocent people get caught in the system, people who may simply be in need of private counseling as opposed to forced governement action.  Yes we are not denying that there are many that need punishment, and forced counseling.  The problem that we have is why should innocent people get sucked into the criminal funnel for the sake of reducing the number of incidents.

In order to answer this question we must first understand the elements of speeding in violation of Vehicle Code section 22350.  In order to violate this section the Prosecution must prove that:

1. You were driving a car
2. At a speed that was unsafe for the conditions (at the time of the violation) or,
3. At a speed that endangered people or property (at the time of the violation)

One important fact is that you must understand is that VC 22350 has nothing to do with any speed limit.  You can be in violation of VC 22350 by traveling at 25 M.P.H. in a 35 M.P.H. zone.  Likewise, you can be traveling 55 M.P.H. in a 45 M.P.H. zone and not be in violation of VC 22350.  

During most prosecutions of VC 22350 they (the Prosecutor/Cop) will forget to testify about why the speed was unsafe or attempt to present evidence that is not relevant to the violation because they were events that were observed after the violation.

Many people get cited for speeding on the San Mateo Bridge for speeding.  It is a favorite place for the CHP to issue citations for speeding (VC 22349(a) or VC 22348).  No one really wants speeding drivers on our highways. The problem is that in the effort to reduce the "true speeders", many of the non-speeding drivers get caught in the net.  This has become a recurring theme in many traffic violation areas.

If you have been cited for a speeding ticket in Hayward, CA, and are looking for the best Hayward traffic Attorney, you are in the right place.  We have been handling Hayward traffic tickets for years.  Take a look at our Hayward traffic ticket page here, or call me at (415) 378-4133

So we are now well into the new year and have a lot of new laws to look forward to.  The problem is that if you have been arrested for a San Francisco DUI or a DUI anywhere in California, things are not getting better.  Some of the threats are that anyone who has been arrested for three DUI's or more will lose their driver's license for life!  In some counties there are will be pilot programs where an installation of an IID will be required for all first offenders.  These are just some of the new changes coming in the DUI field.  And our prediction continues to be the same, things will continue to get worse as long as the public doesn't come to a concrete solution on how to best control DUI driving.

If you have been arrested for a San Francisco DUI, a Marin DUI or an Oakland DUI, we can help!  We have been successfully defending DUI's in the San Francisco Bay Area for a long time.  The implications of a DUI conviction can be tremendous, both current and future.  Call us today for assistance, (415) 378-4133.

*Remember that if you have been arrested for a San Francisco DUI, a Marin DUI, an Oakland DUI, Hayward DUI, a San Mateo DUI, or a DUI anywhere in California, you only have ten days from the date of your arrest to contact the DMV and request a hearing.  If you fail to do this, your license will be suspended automatically!

The public should be aware that both the San Francisco Police and the San Francisco CHP will be out in numbers looking for San Francisco DUI drivers.  The best defense to a San Francisco DUI case is to simply not drive if you have had ANYTHING to drink.  You must remember that, when they have a zero tolerance in place, they will arrest anyone with the slightest smell of alcohol.  The policy is to error on the side of arrest, rather then error on letting someone go.  If you are driving in San Francisco and have consumed any alcohol, I high recommend that you spend $100.00 dollars on a cab, rather then $3000.00 to $5000.00 on a San Francisco DUI Attorney/Lawyer.

If you have been arrested for a San Francisco DUI either by the San Francisco Police Department or the San Francisco CHP office, call us!  We have been fighting San Francisco DUI cases for years.  We know the Court, we know the Judges and we know the Prosecutors.  We can successfully maneuver a San Francisco DUI case if need be.
