Polk County, Iowa- A GRL Law client’s Polk County OWI 1st offense was amended to reckless driving and public intoxication after Mr. Gangestad successfully argued to the prosecutor that the stop of the client’s vehicle violated the client’s rights. Client’s driver’s license was spared and no jail time was imposed.
Story County, Iowa. When a GRL client asked the officer if he could take another breath test after failing the first one and the officer failed to inform him of his right to an independent test, this ultimately led to the exclusion of the failed test result. As a result of losing this critical piece of evidence, the charges were reduced to public intoxication and reckless driving. This allowed the client to avoid a criminal conviction for OWI and saved his driver’s license. Moral of the story…if you take the test ask for a redo!
