Twitter Me This...Montgomery County
As a DWI attorney I hate when the state assumes that my clients are guilty. Like the city of of Honululu, Hawaii, the Montgomery County, Texas District Attorney's Office, a neighboring county of Harris County, Texas is trying to scare its citizens from getting arrested for DWI. The Montgermery County Office has started a Twitter page that lists anyone that gets arrested for a DWI in that county Luckily, I rarely represent someone in that county for DWI since my practice consists of Houston DWI arrests. Nevertheless, I would like to point out that I doubt anyone purposefully sets out to get arrested for driving while intoxicated. In fact, the law does not require that the person intentionally was DWI like most other crimes. Most importantly, there is no plan in place for those people that are lucky enough to get their DWI cases dismissed or win at trial. This seems like a stunt that the media will give a lot of attention to initially, but will never be effective in detering anyone from driving while intoxicated.
