Well, the first thing we’re going to do is we’re going to look to see whether or not the police had a right to make contact with you in the first place.

After that, we’re going to look at their contact with you, particularly if it’s on video, we’re going to see what they have, see how you look, and try to argue that there was no reason for the police to go from the initial contact to asking you to take a blood or breath test. After that, if the police get that far, we’re going to go through, we’re going to look at the questions they asked you. Did they make it clear to you what was going on?
