I want to know how many DWI arrests happened in a small-medium sized city in Upstate New York. There are four police agencies – city, county and 2 nearby universities. My question is should I bother looking at NYS Police as well? Would they patrol in the city, or is there little to no chance of them booking a DWI in the city over one of the four other agencies? My gut feeling is that they stick to the highways (which I am not concerned with) and only assist in serious matters. Any help is appreciated.
I only ask because the records for the 4 agencies are readily accessible online, and the NYS police ones are not
You are correct the state police mostly stick to the highways but if they are off the highway (say on a meal break) and see a car driving erratically they can and do pull them over for a possible DUI stop but those would be small in number compared to the dui stops/arrests they make on the highway. If you search time period includes a holiday (like new years eve) you may want to try and obtain the information because those are the times when enforcement is stepped up and multi agency DUI task forces are sometimes utilized and state police may be used on the local streets.
I was charged with a first offense DWI and careless operation in 2009. Finally, the case was dismissed this week. Besides my insurance company, who else do I need to provide with the certified court letter saying that there was no conviction of these charges?
You can compare how the insurance quotes would change, for example here – autoinsurance.bebto.com
Ok so my step-dad is a truck driver. He and his buddy were out in California at a truck stop. Long story short, they got drunk, the friend decided he wanted to drive. My step-dad was in the passenger seat and had to reach for the steering wheel to save the truck 2 times. They got to another truck stop and my step-dad asked someone to help him take away the keys. That other someone called the cops. Cops came; step-dad was out of the truck with the keys. Cops took both to jail, step dad got charger w/public intoxication, friend charged w/DWI. Well now friends lawyer wants my step dad to testify in court the HE was the one driving. Lawyer says the court can’t turn around and charge him with the DWI. Please someone help us out because he has to go to court the end of this month. Thanks for any help and advice.
Ok what is the “friend” just never goes back to California? And does my dad have to be served with subpoena papers?
That would be stupid.
If stepdad did that, then the next thing the prosecutor would do is find that “someone” that witnessed everything. That “someone” will testify that the other guy was driving. Then, your stepdad will be charged with perjury, which is a felony in California.
This would be the extreme scenario, but nonetheless your stepdad would be a fool to agree to lawyer’s plan. In fact, the lawyer is voilating ethics rules by even suggesting this. I would personally report this guy to the bar association.

One night, a police officer was stalking out a particularly rowdy bar for possible violations of the driving under the influence laws. At closing time, he saw a fellow stumble out of the bar, trip on the curb, and try his keys on five different cars before he found his.
Then, sat in the front seat fumbling around with his keys for several minutes. Everyone left the bar and drove off. Finally, he started his engine and began to pull away.
The police officer was waiting for him. He stopped the driver, read him his rights and administered the Breathalyzer test. The results showed a reading of 0.0. The puzzled officer demanded to know how that could be. The driver replied, “Tonight, I’m the Designated Decoy.”

Spike Lee’s semiautobiographical, 1994 film about the good and bad times for a Brooklyn family in the ’70s has passion and nostalgic good feeling, but it is also a mess of random reflections and arbitrary storytelling. The centerpiece of the movie is a little girl (Zelda Harris) who views the ups and downs of her parents’ experiences (mom and dad are played by Delroy Lindo and Alfre Woodard), and …
