It’s never a good idea to drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Everybody knows that. But you’ll still find people drinking and driving on a daily basis. This results in accidents, damage to property, and even gets people charged with a DUI.

Unfortunately, some of these DUIs are unwarranted. Sometimes, it may only be a false positive on a breathalyzer test. If you happen to be falsely accused, a good defense attorney can help you get your DUI dismissed in court.

How to Get Your DUI Dismissed

No one wants a DUI conviction to be associated with their name, right? So you rake your mind trying to find ways to get out of it. But how can you go about this? This article explains numerous methods your attorney may use to get your DWI dismissed in court.

1. Blood Tests Or Breathalyzer Test Issues

There are no flawless tests, and when you have a DUI charge based only on a breathalyzer test, your DUI defense will usually be successful. For most policemen, if a breathalyzer confirms that you are under the influence, they will bring you to a precinct to get a blood sample drawn. If the blood tests are taken within three hours of the claimed incident, they are likely legitimate from a legal point of view.

Moreover, analysis of the sample by approved professionals is required. Otherwise, the evidence may be deemed unreliable and inadmissable.

2. Improper Grounds to Stop Your Vehicle

If the police have a reasonable suspicion that you’ve committed a traffic infraction, such as speeding or running a red light, they can stop you. In addition, if you’re driving recklessly and weaving in and out of traffic lanes, the DMV may suspend your license.

However, police have no jurisdiction to stop you if you follow the laws and drive with the traffic flow.

3. You Were Not Driving

In cases when the prosecution disputes that you were driving while intoxicated, police officers find it difficult to convince the jury. Even when they have substantial proof that you were drunk, there may be insufficient evidence to get a conviction.

4. Unlawful Acts of Search and Seizure

Without reasonable cause or until they acquire a warrant, police cannot inspect your car for evidence of liquor bottles or proof of drinking. Without a warrant, most officers cannot examine vehicles during a DUI arrest. So, whether there was probable cause to search the car becomes crucial. The Fourth Amendment’s privacy protections are violated when illegal searches and seizures occur.

5. You Didn’t Know the Drug Was in Your System

Even if you were not under the influence of drugs, someone might have drugged your food or drink and rendered you incapacitated while driving. You should not be convicted of driving under the influence as long as you can provide evidence to support this.

6. Inaccurate Field Sobriety Tests

Even the most reliable field sobriety tests cannot indicate whether a person is impaired by alcohol or drugs. Besides, there are only three tests with actual data to support their reliability. They only have the potential to detect impairment with a measly 65 to 77 percent chance of accuracy.

Poor results on field sobriety tests might also be attributed to innocent factors. This may include but is not limited to the following: intimidation, inadequate lighting, terrible weather conditions, unlevel surfaces, incorrect footwear, and more.

7. Entrapment

Your DUI charge can be dropped if you were entrapped. When you are coerced into something unlawful by an officer and arrested for it, it is known as entrapment. For example, if you are sleeping in your car while drunk and they force you to relocate the vehicle to leave a parking lot. However, before you can be released, you are arrested for driving under the influence.

Get Legal Help to Get Your DUI Dismissed

Warrantless arrests for DUI can lead to jail time, higher insurance rates, probable license suspension, and so on. Having a lawyer on your side may result in the charges being dropped instead.

Turkish Textile Giant Sun Textile Solution Proposal for Drought

While the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) are seeking solutions to combat drought through various projects, Ekoten Textile, a subsidiary of Turkey’s textile giant Sun Textile, has developed a groundbreaking project in collaboration with a technology startup to minimize the intensive water consumption in the textile industry. This pioneering project, the first of its kind globally, will enable the recycling and reuse of up to 90% of the water used in textile production.

Drought is one of the most pressing issues facing the world today. According to WHO data, 40% of the global population is struggling with water scarcity. By 2030, up to 700 million people could be forced to migrate due to drought. The unconscious use of water in global production processes plays a significant role in the rapid depletion of clean water resources.

The textile industry is one of the sectors with the highest water consumption. In Turkey, while the food industry consumes 22% of the water used for industrial purposes, the textile sector follows closely with 18%. For instance, producing an average of 40 tons of products daily requires 2,500 tons of water, equivalent to the daily water consumption of approximately 10,000 people.

CLEAN WATER RESOURCES FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE EVERY DAY!

In textile production, where clean water resources are heavily consumed, the innovative success of the Turkish company stands out as a global best practice. This initiative will shape the future of the industry. The wastewater recycling project, developed through intensive R&D efforts, will ensure that over 90% of the required water is sourced from recycled supplies.

The reuse of wastewater in production will transform the fate of countries operating in the textile sector. By preventing the use of clean water resources for textile production, this project will free up clean water sources that can meet the daily needs of hundreds of thousands of people.

R&D ACTIVITIES IN 38 COUNTRIES WITH 380 PARTNERS!

Sun Textile places great emphasis on R&D activities, conducting research and development efforts with 380 partners across 38 countries. Sun Textile and its subsidiary Ekoten Textile export nearly 90% of their production, solidifying their identity as a leading exporter. The company ships products to numerous destinations worldwide, including European countries, the UK, and the US. Sun Textile, the leading ready-to-wear exporter in the Aegean Region, achieved a consolidated turnover of 250 million euros in the third quarter of 2024, continuing its active growth trajectory.

OFFERING CUSTOM DESIGNS TO CUSTOMERS

Sun Textile provides its own designed collections to leading brands in Europe and the UK. Ekoten Textile, its subsidiary, is among the most respected knitted fabric manufacturers in Turkey and Europe.

With a dedicated sales team for each major customer group and five design offices in three different countries, Sun Textile creates designs tailored to its customers’ needs. Its largest clients include the Inditex Group, H&M, Jimmy Key, Tesco, Kiabi, Marks & Spencer, and Next.

Sun Textile also extends its sustainability approach to social responsibility, notably for its high ratio of female employees. The company, which went public in 2022, is also listed in dividend indexes.
