Got caught driving with a bac on .05 or more; Can I get out of it by questioning jurisdiction?

Question

Is there anything i can do to get out of this??

I was pulled over by a brea cop who saw me speeding into la habra. im under 21 so a bac of .05 or more gets me a ticket. i was pulled over on the intersection of Lambert and Palm, however the location on the ticket says Lambert and Berry (about a mile away). Also, the Officer made me blow twice and both times didnt tell me my bac. i still do not know what my bac was. the forms i was given say that i can apply for a hearing to contest the suspension of my license.

Anything i can do?

Answer 1

Yeah. Stop driving. I go through that neighborhood sometimes and I don't want you running in to me! Hope they pull your license.

Answer 2

no you cant really get out of it cause a .05 can still be considered under the influence

Answer 3

Nope.  Lambert and Berry is where he first saw you...where you were speeding.  Basically you cannot have one drink and drive.  Where I live if you are under 21 and you have any BAC you'll lose your license.

Answer 4

If the breath test was administered on scene, he is under no obligation to tell you the result. That test is a screening device only, and probably will not even be admitted into evidence.

As far as the location, that will not make a difference. Driving with a .05 BAC at Lambert and Palm carries the same penalty as driving at Lambert and Berry. If you challenge the location, the court will probably just amend the ticket.

Answer 5

im under 21 so a bac of .05 or more gets me a ticket.

Actually, a MEASURABLE BAC is a violation if you are under 21.

Claiming the citation shows the wrong LOCATION is not the same as questioning JURISDICTION.
