Lynnwood Criminal Defense Attorney | Is Big Brother Here?!?

Jonathan Dichter — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 17:49:00 GMT

The Seattle Times is reporting that U.S. Immigration and Custons has very discreetly activated a program allowing every single person booked into a jail in Washington to be checked against a national immigration database. This program actually exists in all counties in our state, as well as 45 other states.

The purpose is to identify and detain illegal immigrants, especially those that are committing crimes.:

As a Lynnwood Criminal Defense Attorney, I am appauled by this. We here in Washington State have a higher right to privacy than in any other state (see Article 1 Section 7 of our Constitution). And yet, we are going to allow every single person to be fingerprinted and submitted to a national database whether or not there's any reason to believe their immigration status is in doubt??

This is not only ridiculous - but it flies in the face of basic liberty. It's not long before we're all asked to show our "papers".

If you, or a loved one, are in jail or facing criminal charges - call Lynnwood Criminal Attorney Jonathan Dichter at 425-424-9401 for your free consultation now!

Lynnwood DUI Attorney | St. Patty's Day Patrols

Jonathan Dichter — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 18:02:00 GMT

Lynnwood Today is reporting that DUI emphasis patrols are back in Snohomish County through March 18, 2012 to look for DUI drivers over Saint Patty's day weekend.

This year, however, the Target Zero teams are taking it to the next level and are teaming up with local bars to go on-site to visit during the evening. They want to ensure everyone gets home safely (and likely also size up potential arrestees later).

As a Lynnwood DUI attorney, I try to stay on top of local patrols as much as possible - especially the ones in my neighborhood. If you're out there on St. Patty's day celebrating - please do so safely - and if not - have the phone number for Lynnwood DUI attorney Jonathan Dichter ready to go in your phone - FREE CONSULTATIONS at 425-424-9401.

Lynnwood DUI Attorney | Huffing Behind the Wheel?

Jonathan Dichter — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 23:50:00 GMT

As a Lynnwood DUI Attorney, I try to advise my clients not to do anything behind the wheel that will impair them in any way. And Washington State is trying to close loopholes in a way to allow for even more DUI convictions to occur.

MyNorthwest.com is reporting that a significant loophole in the DUI laws in Washington may be being closed soon. The definition of drugs in Washington state excludes chemicals not created for humans to consume - and as such - huffing paint thinner behind the wheel may not be illegal.

Overall - the use of inhalants is on the rise, especially amongst teenagers, and the lawmakers really want to address this as soon as possible.

DUI with any drugs in your body is illegal - but now that they're going to specifically outlaw certain things - it'll create more specific DUI crimes to defend against. If you're charged with DUI with any drugs in your body at all - you owe it to yourself to call Lynnwood DUI attorney Jonathan Dichter for your FREE CONSULTATION at 425-424-9401.

Lynnwood DUI Attorney | Superbowl Arrests Limited

Jonathan Dichter — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:55:00 GMT

As a Lynnwood DUI Attorney, local DUI patrols are something I keep a close eye on.

This past Super Bowl weekend, patrols were out in force.

According to the Snohomish Times, four DUI drivers were arrested in Snohomish County during the Super Bowl. This showed that the campaigns the Target Zero teams had been focusing on were moderatly successful. 47 DUI drivers were arrested statewide during this emphasis patrol.

These Snohomish County DUI Empasis patrols seem to be decreasing the number of imapaired drivers on the road - but also are equiping the police with more tools to make sure that if you are impaired behind the wheel - that they get you.

If you were one of the four arrested on Sunday, or any other day for that matter - you owe it to yourself to call Lynnwood DUI Attorney Jonathan Dichter at 425-424-9401 right now to defend your rights and get started on your case.
