The “heat is on” campaign waged by the state of Colorado during Super Bowl weekend resulted in 274 DUI arrests. There were a few bits of good news stemming from the crackdown – there were no alcohol related fatalities during the three day period and arrests for this time of year were down for the second year in a row.
This kind of large law enforcement operation can get plenty of publicity. Unfortunately, even with all of the extra publicity, plenty of people will still get behind the wheel after having a few too many drinks. The Colorado citizen who gets caught up in one of these efforts must contact a Colorado DUI attorney to ensure all of their rights are being protected.
Policemen are only human and can make mistakes when it comes to gathering evidence. The Colorado DUI attorney is well aware of the fact that mistakes can be made during DUI investigations. An experienced attorney can quickly identify any issues or oversights in the investigation and use that information to help get your DUI charges reduced or dismissed. Facing reduced or dismissed charges is far superior to pleading guilty and being forced to pay the fines, surcharges and increased insurance premiums that go along with a DUI conviction.
