This case involves the stop of the client's vehicle for having a temporary sticker in the rear window in lieu of a license plate. The client was stopped by law enforcement, and arrested for OWI. Her blood test result was .186.
Attorney Chirafisi looked at both the video and photographs of the stop of the vehicle and believed the stop was unconstitutional as it appeared the client's temporary sticker was clearly posted in the rear window. The state disagreed and a motion hearing was held. At the conclusion of the motion hearing, the Court agreed with Attorney Chirafisi and found that under the circumstances, the stop of the vehicle was in fact unlawful. After that ruling, the state, with no evidence to move forward, dismissed the case.
