    What to Do in a Police Traffic Stop in New Hampshire Disobeying a Police Officer Getting into a high speed chase, increasing your speed in an ill-advised escape attempt and jumping from your moving car after you collide with a tree are all behaviors that are frowned upon per the motor vehicle code. Likewise, lying to the police or refusing to produce your license and registration when asked to do so will not benefit your station in life, (unless you are trying to go to jail). The Disobeying a Police Officer statute prohibits certain conduct when you are driving or in charge of a vehicle. You cannot: 1) Refuse to give your name, address, date of birth upon request by an officer; 2) Give a false name to an officer or give any false information that would hinder the law enforcement officer from identifying the person in charge of the vehicle; 3) Purposely neglect to stop for an officer or elude pursuit;Refuse to produce your license or registration upon demand by the officer; 4) Clients are often charged with Disobeying a Police Officer for neglecting to stop or attempting to elude pursuit. Sometimes it's as simple as not seeing or recognizing that the officer is trying to pull you over as opposed to another motorist. Sometimes it's an all-out high speed pursuit. By statute, a conviction under this section of the Disobeying a Police Officer statute, neglecting to stop or willfully attempting to elude pursuit, is a class A misdemeanor and carries a minimum mandatory $500 fine. (A Class "A" Misdemeanor is punishable by up to a year in jail and a $2,000 fine). Further, if you elude pursuit and cause serious bodily injury in the process you are facing a Class B Felony. Penalties: Disobeying a Police Officer is a serious crime. Depending upon the circumstances you may be facing a Felony or Misdemeanor and a likely jail sentence. The court (or in some cases DMV) may suspend your license. Disobeying a Police Officer is a "major" motor vehicle offense towards certi

    Should I Take a New Hampshire Field Sobriety Test? New Hampshire Field Sobriety Tests (FST's) Everyone has an opinion about Field Sobriety Tests ("FST's"). Police, prosecutors, and other members of the law enforcement community will likely tell you that FST's are the best way to determine if someone is impaired by drugs or alcohol, short of a breath test. You may be arrested for DUI if the police believe that you did not perform well on the field sobriety tests where you walk the line and touch your nose, then we look to see why. We inspect the surface area where you were told to do the tests. We inquire as to whether the officer properly instructed you on how to take these "tests". We inquire as to whether you have any medical conditions that would have hindered your ability to perform these roadside contortions. Most defense attorneys will tell you FST's are the biggest joke going and that their results are unscientific, unreliable, and mislead judges and juries all over the country. Where do Justin and Mark stand on this issue? Well, their answer is simple - it doesn't really matter what police and lawyers thinks about FST's. What matters is this: Does your JUDGE buy into the FST propaganda. If you are in front of a judge who is skeptical about FST's, then it may not matter how "badly" you did on them. On the other hand, if you have a judge who thinks that FST's are as reliable and precise as the Hubbell telescope, then all the fuss about their unreliability isn't going to matter either. Should I Take The Field Sobriety Test? As a rule, Mark and Justin would recommend that you not take them - period. After all, if you don't take any FST's, then you won't have to worry about what your judge thinks about them. If he doesn't have any FST's to consider during your trial, then they can't be used against you. Exercise Your Rights, You Can Simply Say No! As a rule of thumb, if the police officer stopped you for s
