Defense Strategy: Super Extreme DUI
ALERT: Standard Patrol
Arrests in Chandler are currently under high scrutiny.
If you are reading this, you are facing the full weight of the Maricopa County legal system. An arrest for Super Extreme DUI by the Chandler PD is designed to shock and intimidate you.
Super Extreme DUI: The Chandler "Zero Tolerance" Zone
A Super Extreme DUI (BAC .20+) is the highest misdemeanor charge in Arizona. In Chandler, prosecutors often start by seeking the maximum: 45 days of flat jail time and thousands in fines. They rely on the high BAC number to bully you into a plea. We do not get bullied. We know that high BAC readings are often the result of flawed science, not factual impairment.
The Blood Test Audit
In Super Extreme cases, the evidence is almost always a blood draw. We don't trust the crime lab's report. We demand the "Gas Chromatography" data. We look for signs of contamination, improper seals, or fermentation. If your blood sample was stored improperly in a non-refrigerated drop box before being tested, the sugar in your blood can ferment into alcohol, creating a falsely high reading. We expose these lab errors to the judge.
The "Functionality" Argument
To have a .20+ BAC, the average person would be unable to stand or speak clearly. Yet, on the officer's bodycam, our clients often appear polite, steady, and coherent. We use this "Cognitive Disconnect" to argue that the chemical test is clearly malfunctioning because it contradicts the physical evidence. Juries believe their eyes over a machine.
