Proposed Rule Would Shut Down Unsafe Reincarnated Tractor-Trailer Companies
2012-08-12
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration recently proposed new rules targeting "reincarnated carriers" -- truck and bus companies that reincorporate as new business entities or re-register with the agency to leave behind a history of safety violations.

In a limited array of circumstances, testimonial statements may be admitted into evidence, but generally only when the person who made the statement is unavailable to appear in court, and when the defendant had some prior opportunity ...
DUI Citations Issued Even When BAC Below Legal Limit
2012-08-12
Many states have passed laws setting minimum blood alcohol content requirements for those who get behind the wheel of a car. For most states, including Arizona, anyone driving with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08 or higher is over the legal limit. So, not surprisingly, many believe that a BAC lower than 0.08 in Arizona cannot lead to arrest. Unfortunately, as some drivers throughout the state are finding out, this is not true.
In Arizona, an officer has the ability to arrest drivers and charge them with a DUI in Arizona for any BAC as long as they have Probable ...
Umansky Law Firm Successfully Defends Aggravated Assault Case
