DeKalb County DUI Video Evidence

If you were arrested for a DeKalb County driving under the influence offense, there is a good chance that your traffic stop and arrest were videotaped by a camera located in the police officer’s patrol car. These cameras are used to capture the officer’s interaction with the driver as well as the driver’s behavior. An experienced DUI lawyer will review the video evidence on file with the police department to determine if it is beneficial to your defense.

To pull you over for a traffic stop, the officer must have probable cause to believe that you are committing a moving violation. Common reasons to stop a driver may include swerving on the roadway, running traffic signals, and driving erratically. If a video camera shows your driving behavior is normal and it is determined that the officer lacked probable cause, this evidence can go a long way in helping your case.

DeKalb County DUI video evidence may also record your field sobriety tests. Your lawyer will watch the tapes to ensure that the officer gave the proper instructions before administering your tests and that the officer fairly graded the tests. If the officer did not abide by proper protocol, the judge may exclude the field sobriety tests from evidence.

Video from the patrol car is not the only form of video tape evidence that can be used for your defense. If there were any traffic cameras or private surveillance cameras that recorded your arrest, your lawyer may subpoena the videotape before it is erased.

An increasing number of patrol cars utilize audio recording in addition to video. If this is the case, your DUI lawyer may have the audio portion transcribed to introduce as evidence on your behalf.
