Bill White's 17 year old daughter arrested for DWI

TWO THUMBS WAY UP for Ms. White for that. Kudos, Bill, you raised a good daughter, you said she'd pay. Cool.

 

Just to answer a couple of questions - I am licensed to practice law in Texas. And yes, my advice has been "field tested." No evidence = no conviction. Most juries don't want to convict people for having a couple of drinks - everyone does it - but if you're a raging drunk stumbling all over the place on the video & they show that you blew a .2, wtf do you think they'll do?

If you blow even Rusty Hardin won't save you. If you stumble all over on a video, even Rusty will have to come up with some ridiculous explanation as to why.

I would give you the same advice if you were under 21.

You WILL spend a night in jail. You WILL lose your license for a while (though there's a lot your attorney can do to ameliorate this, as well). Take these last two statements to the bank. If a cop even remotely suspects you have been drinking (impairment is a VERY subjective thing to the HPD) you're done for.

Again, you're just trying to reduce the amount of evidence they have against you. Don't help them bury you!

Most people give in because they get scared, but think about it - wtf are they going to do to you if you refuse? NOTHING. Again, you go to jail anyway.

And ya know what? The cops don't care. Wanna know why? Either way, you go to jail so your off the street, and more importantly, they know they'll be getting paid overtime to deal with you & come testify against you.

HPD officers BANK on DWI arrests.

Again though, if you don't drink and drive none of this is even necessary.

Take a cab people.

 

A drunk driver murdered my cousin.

One if my wife's best friends in high school was murdered by a drunk driver.

A guy in my church was paralyzed by a drunk driver when he was playing in his yard as a kid.

Don't drive drunk.

 

Big freaking deal..

Slow news day.. next please..

 

In Texas, do they give you blood tests at the station if you refuse a breathalyzer? Just burp into the damn thing and they're forced to haul you off...

 

I had dinner with an assistant DA that told me the same thing tonight. Getting your license suspended is WAY better than dealing with a DUI. And even if you beat the breathalizer, you're still going to jail.
