KATSURANIS & RODRIGUEZ, Inc.

Currently involved in a battle in Hayward where we are fighting to clear a young man.  He is innocent, however the facts of the case are hard.  At issue is whether he intended to steal the car.  The jury must be well instructed on presumptions, burdens and burden of proof.  If they follow the law, as we expect they will, a series of errors will come to an end and a young man will be able to go on with his life.  If they don't follow the instructions, the series of errors will continue and a young men's life will be changed for ever.  Stay tuned for the results!

This week the firm accepted a felony fourth offense Marin County DUI. Client is currently being held In custody at the Marin County jail (seeing him as I write).

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.

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.
