The police won’t let me have a copy of the police report nor inform me of what it was. Would obtaining an attorney help me in obtaining this information? Also, would this be something I can fight myself or would I need a lawyer?
The police report will available to you after charges have been filed or, if you made a DMV hearing request, after the DMV determines to move forward with the administrative hearing. Obviously, if you are taking a medicine that can impact the accuracy of the chemical test you have a possible defense. Depending on your county, and your lawyer, they may be able to intervene on your behalf before charges are filed and possibly get a copy of the police report before your arraignment. Yes, a lawyer can help you by intervening before charges are filed, reviewing evidence to determine possible defenses, be your voice in court, negotiate a disposition or prepare to fight and help you decide the best path forward.
much more info needed but you DO NEED a LAWYER.
the drugs make you more under the influence but does not change the reading.
thus if you were a .15 you would be more under the influence that if you had not taken a rx drugs.
if you can afford a lawyer contact me and i will get some names for you:
