Plainsboro Police Cracking Down on Drunk Drivers

Plainsboro police are well-known among defense attorneys to be tough on DWIs. However, unless you appear in the court on a regular basis you would have no idea that it is not a town you should be driving in after consuming alcohol – not to say that there are any towns which it is okay to drive drunk but there are definitely certain towns where you have a greater chance of getting pulled over and this is one of them. That is why each year well over a 100 people are arrested each year for suspicion of driving while intoxicated in Plainsboro, New Jersey. When you consider how small the police department is, they write an incredible amount of DUI & Refusal charges each year.

This year has been more of the same with the Plainsboro police starting off the spring and summer with multiple DWI arrests in back to back days and a steady amount of DWI stops and arrests have continued into the fall. A DWI charge can be tough to beat because there is no plea bargaining allowed so the only way to secure a downgrade or dismissal is to successfully challenge the evidence against you. Over the years, our Plainsboro DWI lawyers have been successful with challenging the State’s cases against our clients and have secured several downgrades and dismissals based on legitimate legal issues and defenses we raised to the court and judge. If you or a loved one has found yourself in the unfortunate position of facing a DWI it is best to speak with an experienced attorney who can go over your options and possible defenses with you.
