		<title>Georgia Imposes a $150 Fee to Appeal License Suspension</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Georgia Governor signed into law HB 1055, which mandates that persons charged with DUI submit a $150 fee to appeal any administrative license suspension (&#8220;ALS Appeal&#8221;).  The ALS Appeal, associated with what had been known as the &#8220;10-day rule,&#8221; had previously only required that a person or his attorney submit an appeal within [...]]]></description>

		<title>Perhaps a law that will help those accused of DUI?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has long been the solid trend in Georgia that any changes to DUI law in Georgia have been strongly against the interests of the accused.  However, this year the Georgia legislature is considering HB 24, a bill which would adopt the federal rules of evidence.  This may or may not help those [...]]]></description>

		<title>They are a lot stricter elsewhere</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A frequent complaint we hear from clients is that .08 blood alcohol limit for DUIs is too low.  This is certainly a subject for debate, but we must acknowledge the limit tends to be even lower elsewhere in the world:

		<title>More People May Become Eligible For Expungment Of Their Criminal Records in Georgia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Georgia Legislature is considering HB 511, which would allow more people to be eligible to have their arrest records expunged.  
As many may already know, current Georgia law only allows arrest records to be expunged in very limited circumstances.  Frankly, unless an officer arrested someone by accident, it&#8217;s not likely they will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the years the various DUI task forces have focused their attention on various Atlanta locations.  They change from time to time as one might expect.  In recent weeks we&#8217;ve noticed that clients have reported that the Georgia State Patrol Nighthawks DUI Unit has begun DUI enforcement near the Piedmont Ave &#038; Monroe [...]]]></description>

		<title>New &#8220;Super Speeder&#8221; law now in effect</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Georgia&#8217;s &#8220;super speeder&#8221; law went into effect a few days ago.  It doesn&#8217;t create a new offense, but it does increase fines associated with higher speeds.  Specifically, going over 85 mph on the highway will cost one an additional $200 on top of whatever fines would otherwise be assessed.  On two-lanes roads, [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Friendly New Year&#8217;s Reminder</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As we all prepare to celebrate the coming of the New Year, please be mindful that law enforcement activity will be very high, with emphasis on finding drunk drivers.

		<title>This REALLY shouldn&#8217;t be possible</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another ridiculously high BAC was published in a recent article.  A few weeks ago, we were shocked to read of a .40+ test with the driver still functioning.  Now we read of a .70+ test!  We&#8217;re sure the driver&#8217;s BAC was way too high, but we suspect the actual number may be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sometimes even Georgia has reasonable laws protecting the accused</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With recent news in Florida about police seeking a search warrant to get Tiger Woods&#8217; medical records, we were reminded of a recent article detailing Florida police efforts to get around a driver&#8217;s refusal to submit to a breath test.  
Apparantly, local police believe Florida law allows them to get by search warrant what [...]]]></description>

		<title>This shouldn&#8217;t even be possible!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In our profession, we see quite a few BAC readings on the extreme end.  This case from Cincinnati is about as high as we&#8217;ve seen.  Frankly, we have some doubts as to the precision of a test at this extreme given the machine used and her apparant ability to function to some degree, [...]]]></description>
