The Gilbert "Motorcycle" Task Force: An Unfair Fight
If you were stopped in Gilbert, you were likely hunted by the Gilbert PD Traffic Unit. These officers ride BMW RT1250 motorcycles funded by Governor's Office of Highway Safety grants. Unlike patrol cars, they hide in "blind spots"—medians, alleyways, and between parked cars—waiting to manufacture a reason to stop you. We pull the GPS data of the unit. If the officer was "hunting" from an illegal vantage point or violating patrol protocols, the stop is fruit of the poisonous tree.
Defense Strategy #1: The "Tire Chalking" Surveillance
Did the officer know you were drinking before you even started driving? In the Heritage District, officers have been known to "chalk" or mark the tires of vehicles parked at bars or bowling alleys to track how long you’ve been inside. When you leave, they check the mark. We challenge this as unconstitutional pre-arrest surveillance. If they targeted you based on a tire mark rather than your actual driving, the Reasonable Suspicion for the stop evaporates.
Defense Strategy #2: The "Grant Shift" Quota
Was your arresting officer working a holiday or weekend "Task Force" shift? These shifts are paid for by specific grants that require "stats" (arrests) to renew funding. We argue that your arrest was motivated by a financial quota, not actual impairment. We expose this bias to the jury: the officer needed to arrest you to justify their overtime paycheck.
Highland Justice Court vs. Gilbert Municipal
Your case will land in either Gilbert Municipal or Highland Justice Court (Judge Jordan Ray). These courts are strict, but they hate sloppy police work. We use the officer's own aggressive tactics against them. If they cut corners to get the "stat," we use that to force a dismissal.
