June 17, 2011 (Press-News.org) Should you find yourself in a position where you have been charged with drunk driving your first responsibility to yourself is to contact a criminal lawyer for advice. They will examine the charges and explain the probable consequences.
For example, were you to have registered a 'warn' reading on the drunk driver breathalyzer test, you may receive an instant roadside driving ban of between 3 and 30 days.
Blowing a 'fail' reading on the other hand may result in a 90-day IRP (Immediate Roadside Prohibition) or further criminal investigation.
Even in the instance that you feel a guilty verdict is inevitable, your criminal lawyer is likely to have a variety of compelling case law and technicality strategies to convince you otherwise.
Facing a charge of drunk driving can be both upsetting and expensive. Michael Shapray has a team of experienced professionals dedicated to providing you with update advice and expert representation in a manner tailored to your individual circumstances.

Understanding Sexual Assault and Related Cases
2011-06-17
The delicacy of such situations further highlights the importance of contacting an experienced criminal lawyer to explain, in detail, the intricate laws pertaining to sexual assault and the precise procedure that preparing a criminal defence or prosecution would entail.
Nevertheless, to have a basic grasp of the legalities of sexual crime can only be beneficial.
Sexual Assault
Falling short of rape and possibly not even involving physical violence, sexual assault can be termed as applying force of a sexual nature to another person without that person's consent.

Tough dogs not merely gang weapons
2011-06-17
Youths in groups or gangs choose to own dogs primarily for socializing and companionship. Dogs are also used for protection and enhancing status, but to a lesser extent, contrary to popular perception. The research by Jennifer Maher and Harriet Pierpoint from the Centre for Criminology at the University of Glamorgan in the UK, is published online in Springer's journal Crime, Law and Social Change.
There is rising concern in the UK over irresponsible dog ownership, and the use of so-called status or weapon dogs, by street-based youth groups. Youth criminal and antisocial ...
Stretchable electronics report how you feel
2011-06-17
Electronics that can be bent and stretched might sound like science fiction. But Uppsala researcher Zhigang Wu, working with collaborators, has devised a wireless sensor that can stand to be stretched. For example, the sensor can measure intensive body movements and wirelessly send information directly to a computer. The findings are now being presented in the journal Advanced Functional Materials.
Robots of liquid metal, as in the Terminator movies, are probably the best-known cases of deformable electronic systems. But so far this only exists in our imagination. Twisting, ...
Disability Claimants Beware: Your Insurance Company May Be Watching
2011-06-17
Every disability insurer is wary of fraud, and a significant part of their business is ascertaining the legitimacy of disability claims. Sometimes, however, insurance companies take their investigations too far. As increasing numbers of claimants are discovering, some insurance companies use invasive claim-investigation techniques and utilize evidence out of context to unfairly deny claims.
Claim Investigation
When an insured individual files a claim under a private disability insurance policy, the insurance company conducts an investigation to determine whether the ...
Depressed, pregnant women receive inconsistent treatment, have longer hospital stays
2011-06-17
Pregnant women who screen positive for depression are unlikely to receive consistent treatment, researchers say.
That may translate to women spending more time in the hospital before babies are even born.
The Obstetric Clinics and Resources Study, published in General Hospital Psychiatry, tracked 20 health care providers in six Michigan clinics and revealed a lack of uniformity in addressing perinatal depression.
"There are a lot of barriers to translating information into everyday practice situations," said Dr. Christie Palladino, an obstetrician/gynecologist with ...
Awaiting the Fate of Stricter Immigration Legislation in Florida
2011-06-17
Even after a U.S. Court of Appeals blocked the enforcement of parts of Arizona's controversial immigration reforms last year, the Florida Legislature attempted to pass similar legislation in their recent session. Neither the House nor the Senate bill addressing immigration reform passed by the end of session in early May, however. So, until the next Florida Legislature session commences, both proponents and protestors of stricter immigration laws in Florida will have to await the fate of the proposed changes.
House and Senate Bills
Florida House Bill 7089 sought to ...
Children as young as 10 vomit to lose weight, with highest rates in boys
2011-06-17
Children as young as ten are making themselves vomit in order to lose weight and the problem is more common in boys than girls, according to a study of nearly 16,000 school pupils published online early, ahead of print publication, by the Journal of Clinical Nursing.
The findings have prompted researchers to issue a warning that self-induced vomiting is an early sign that children could develop eating disorders and serious psychological problems, such as binge eating and anorexia.
They also believe that self-induced vomiting can be tackled by making sure that children ...
CU-Boulder part of international team to discover neutrinos can change 'flavors'
2011-06-17
An international research team led by Japan and that includes the University of Colorado Boulder may have taken a significant step in discovering why matter trumped antimatter at the time of Big Bang, helping to create virtually all of the galaxies and stars in the universe.
The experiment, known as the Tokai to Kamioka experiment, or T2K, included shooting a beam of neutrinos underground from the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex, or J-PARC, on the country's east coast to a detector near Japan's west coast, a distance of about 185 miles. Elementary particles ...
Controversial Phone Apps Can Foil Drunk Driving Checkpoints
2011-06-17
The summer holidays are prime opportunities for police to step up driving under the influence (DUI) enforcement, and Memorial Day was no exception. Across the country, DUI checkpoints were in place over the long weekend to deter and catch drunk drivers. But, a new software application, or app, widely available for cell-phone users has some rethinking the efficacy of DUI checkpoints.
Early Warning for Drivers
DUI checkpoints are temporary sites set up on roads and highways where law-enforcement officers stop every vehicle to check for signs of driver intoxication. ...
