Situation:
The arresting officer in question claimed I failed to yield the right of way. The arresting officer stated that I was swerving which were his two probable causes for arresting me. The video on the other hand shows that as I was backing out of a driveway, I did yield the right of way to nobody on the road and sidewalk. The officer's car did swerve as shown on the video, but the tape never showed who caused the swerving. According to his audio, he claimed I did the swerving. As he was following my car, the video showed that I never did swerve on the road. Not until the officer turned on his lights and sirens did I begin to swerve. Will my case be thrown out of court and ready for expungment, or will I have to take this to a jury trial?

The judge always believes the officers no matter what,if you can appeal it ask for a jury trial.Now if you were charged with driving while intoxicated and they prove it,you won't have a leg to stand on,no one likes drunk drivers even juries.

Expungment? You only get your an expungment AFTER you have been convicted. You might be able to get it dismissed (although I doubt it) but not expunged. Good luck with that. It's been my experience that once they have their sites set on you, you are as good as dead (guilty or not).

Were you drunk? If so, it's very hard for me to have any sympathy for you.
