Today’s Ledger has another article regarding the problems with Lakeland Police department and their DUI unit that I discovered. This deals with the problem with Lakeland’s DUI police reports. The article dealt with LPD’s “internal investigation” regarding the policies and practices of its DUI unit and officers in general. You can read the article here:

As I previously explained in a blog about Tampa ‘s Police Department conducting the same type of “investigation” these “investigations” have no teeth. If you really want to fix your problems you need an independent critical eye looking at the police investigation. That means a DUI defense attorney must be on the investigative team. Defense attorneys are the people who find problems with the breath test machine, police paperwork, search warrants, and endless other issues. Self-policing does not work. DUI lawyers that file motions to suppress and public record requests for documents the police and prosecutors do not hand over are the ones that insure fairness and justice are served and our constitutional rights are protected.

If you have been arrested, call an attorney that knows what to look for and how to defend you in court.

Last night News Channel 8 did a story regarding the Lakeland Police Department. The station reported a “bombshell” announcement regarding further problems at LPD. You can see the story at this link:

News Channel 8 also has copies of the letters the State Attorney sen Chief Womack regarding some of the LPD officers. In the letters the prosecutor states he does not feel he can trust the officers’ testimony in criminal cases. Without that testimony, the prosecutor may not be able to prove the DUI charges pending against suspected drivers. This may result in up to 40 DUI cases being dismissed. Other alleged criminal prosecutions may also be affected and dropped including felony criminal charges.

It also appears the investigation by the State Attorney’s office into the Lakeland Police Department are not finished. It was also reported that the Lakeland Police Department is reviewing all of LPD’s DUI arrests since last year. I will keep an eye on these events and how it may benefit my clients to insure they are treated fairly.

If you have been arrested by the Lakeland Police, call the attorney who worked to discover some of these allegations.
