In NY, even with Ladar, the officer is required to observe the vehicle for a minimum distance.

I'm thinking 1/4 mile but I wanna say 1/2 mile.

This is another technicalaty where if you can prove that the distance was lessthen required, then it is a dismissal.

The problem in NY is that some of these infractions become misdomeanors because of the extent of the violation. The term is aggrevated violation. Those the DA gets involved in and doesn't want to negotiate anything and you are better off with an attorney.

Try $600 for the attorneys appearance to plead, $1,800 to represent you before trial and $2800 if it goes to trial. Plus expenses, cost of expert whitnesses, etc.

It gets a little pricey. If you can get it for no points and 6 hours of safety classes, take the deal.

Incidentally, F.Lee Bailey has gotten himself off, read as case dismissed, on three DWI cases that I know of. It isn't really that hard to do, but there are pitfalls all ova da place!
