The Anatomy of a DUI An Overview of Alcohol By Manuel J. Barba, DUI Defense Attorney The Anatomy of a DUI – Phase Two: Personal Contact (continued) By Manuel J. Barba, DUI Defense Attorney In the last article I discussed “divided attention” - the ability to concentrate on two or more things at the same time, as well an overview of Phase Two of a DUI stop – personal contact. Here, I will continue to the discussion of Phase Two in more detail. The officer’s first task in Phase Two is to observe and interview the driver, which begins as soon as the suspect vehicle and the police vehicle have come to complete stops. It continues through the officer’s walking up to the suspected DUI driver’s car and involves all conversation between the officer and the driver prior to the driver’s exit from the vehicle, as well as any observations made by the officer. The officer may have developed a strong suspicion that the driver is impaired prior to the face-to-face observation and interview by observing something unusual while the vehicle was in motion, or during the stopping sequence, or the officer may have developed NO suspicion of DUI prior to the face-toface contact. For instance, the vehicle operation and the stop may have been normal, and the officer may have seen no actions suggesting DUI. The officer may have sim20
ply stopped the vehicle for equipment or a registration violation, or some vehicle code violation such as speeding or failing to use a turn signal. I will note that in a large percentage of the DUI cases I’ve defended, there was no evidence of DUI prior to the driver’s face to face contact with the law enforcement officer. Thus, had the driver not been speeding, or failed to use a turn signal, etc., the driver would not have been stopped by the officer and thus not arrested for DUI. Therefore my advice is simple: Don’t give them a reason to pull you over! You can view my web site at www.BarbaLawyer.com and read one of my blog articles for ten tips to avoid a DUI conviction. Regardless of the evidence of DUI that may have been observed by the officer during Phase One while the vehicle was in still in motion, the officer’s initial face-to-face contact with the driver usually provides the first definite indications that the driver is under the influence. Face-to-face observation and interview of the driver allows the officer to use his/her senses to gather evidence of alcohol and/ or other drug influence: the sense of sight; the sense of hearing; and the sense of smell. Proper face-to-face observation and interview of the driver requires the officer to have the ability to recognize the sensory evidence of alcohol and/or other drug influence; and that the officer have the ability to describe that evidence clearly. The officer’s level of training determines how well he/ she recognizes the sensory signs of alcohol Continued on page 49

LEATHER REALM by Dave Murdock “Leather/Drag/Whatever”. The high holy days are upon us, no not Hanukkah, not Samhain, not Diwali, not Christmas (although there may be things we’d like to unwrap when we see them) or even Mabon, the pagan feast of the ingathering (although I think that one is the closest, described as “a thanksgiving for the fruits of the earth”). No dear readers I’m speaking of Palm Springs Leather Pride. Can’t you begin to smell it, the aroma of leather, the musk of testosterone and hot, sweaty bodies? Well it all starts this Thursday at 9 pm at Hunter’s Nightclub and wends its way through 4 days and 12 events guaranteed to make you thankful to the Leather gods for bringing us this celebration each year. Since last January Palm Springs Leather Order of the Desert has been planning and preparing, getting everything perfect for attendees from 26 states, Canada, France, Germany, the UK and Australia to come together for one weekend to celebrate all things Leather. Since back in the ‘90s when they hosted the first “Sweating Bullets” Run, PSLOD has invited Leatherfolk from around the world to gather in our Desert Oasis each year for a hot, sexy weekend celebration of Leather/Fetish fellowship and fun. Today, Palm Springs Leather Pride is one of our city’s most popular LGBT events and one of the largest, longest-running, and most successful Leather/Fetish Events in Southern California. This year start your weekend with us at Hunters Nightclub for the annual Meet and Greet where you can get an up close and personal look at our contestants and cruise/dance the night away. Friday afternoon, October 30th join Clifton Tatum, the outgoing Mr. Palm Springs leather at a clothing optional pool party at InnExile with a no host bar but plenty of eye candy.

The weekend continues on Friday night with another Leather Pride tradition, our Formal Leather Dinner. This year’s event will be held at the Palm Springs Hilton Hotel. We continue our focus on camaraderie and fun with one of everyone’s favorite events, the Tool Shed/PSLOD Backlot Cruise Party and Vendor Mart. For one night Tool Shed will transform their rear parking lot into an outdoor bar and vendor market. This year enjoy an vastly extended bar service, great music and a fantastic market of Southern California’s finest leather and fetish goods. Join hundreds of hot men for hard cruising, great refreshments and singular shopping. Saturday afternoon you have 2 great alternatives, an afternoon ‘Gar and Gear Party, complete with BBQ, special drink prices for tag holders and cigars on sale by Maximus at The Barracks, or you can go to Desert Crucible, (we listened and changed this popular event to the afternoon so you can enjoy the beautiful weather) for only $20 at the door. Just bring your toys and your imagination to this brand new play space. Saturday evening join us for our centerpiece event, the Mr. Palm Springs Leather Contest which is returning to the spectacular Grand Concourse at the Palm Springs Convention Center, where you’ll see hot guys strut their stuff and show off their ‘personalities’. This years contestants include (in alphabetical order) Mr. Barracks Leather – Mark Austin, Mr. Chill Leather – James Bork, Mr. Hot Rodeo – Christopher Durbin, Mr. Copa Leather – Aaron Jones, Mr. Off Ramp Leathers – Steve Juneau and Mr. Tool Shed Leather – Jeff Maxwell. They’ll be judged by an esteemed panel of judges including Esteban Bartholo, Randy Carmenaty, Randall “Bear Man” Continued on page 38

JERSEY’S JOURNAL by Jersey Shore Well, I’m realizing that most people in the public eye should have a platform. I actual do have a few platforms, and I don’t mean shoes. Well I do have platform shoes, so instead of a soap box to stand on, I’ll just rely on my shoes to be heard. Well, I’m sure you are wondering what a Jersey Shore platform would be? Well the less shocking would be Medical Marijuana legalization. I am a proud stoner. Oh no!!! A pot head!!! Pot is a gateway drug. NO it’s not!!! If anything I am amazed that medical marijuana is not being used more for research. I use it for just that reason. Medical. I suffer from Depression and Anxiety; I’ve had multiple major abdominal, knees, arm surgeries. I’ve been cut up and dragged through more physical and emotional stress than a victim of a Friday the 13 th Movie in the opening scene. We all need coping mechanisms to help up deal with pain and to get through life, and Marijuana is mine. It works for me. I am a proud pharmacy member, so I get it as legally as I can get it, but apparently there is more legal action to make it a done deal. I don’t really do the whole political thing, but I was approached by a nice man named Craig as he is trying to get the initiative on the ballot or something political like that. I’m just the pretty stoned face of it all. So, with that said on 48
Nov. 8 th 3-8 pm there will be a secret fund-raiser to help legalize marijuana in 2016. It’s the first of many. If you are able to sponsor this or any event in the near future, or for more information then give Craig a call at 415-205-9390. Tell him Jersey sent you!!!! Its hard work being a spokes model, but some stoner has to do it!!! Peace, Love, and Legal Marijuana, Jersey

and/or drugs. During Phase Two – personal contact, based upon the officer’s face-to-face interview and observation of the driver, and the officer’s previous observations of the vehicle in motion and the stopping sequence, the officer must decide whether there is sufficient reason to instruct the driver to step out of the vehicle. Now, this may vary from agency to agency. For some law enforcement officers, this decision is automatic since their agency policy dictates that the driver always be told to exit the vehicle, regardless of the cause for the stop. Other agencies, however, treat this as a discretionary decision, to be based on what the officer sees, hears

and smells during observation and interview with the driver while the driver is seated in the vehicle. If the officer decides to instruct the driver to exit, the officer will closely observe the driver’s actions during the exit from the vehicle and note any further evidence of impairment. Next week, a more detailed discussion on the officer’s use of sight, hearing, smell during the personal contact phase. Attorney Manuel J. Barba can be reached at 760-770-3377 or 951-680-9125.

THAT IS FUNNY Kid: dad I got detention today. Dad: Why? Kid: The teacher pointed at stick at me and said there is an idiot at the end of this stick. Dad: Then what? Kid: I asked which end ? There was a man walking past an ATM, and he saw an old lady. She said “Kind sir may you please help me check my balance”. He said sure, so he pushes her over. Her balance was terrible. What gets longer when pulled, inserts neatly in a hole, and works best when jerked? A Seatbelt I want to die like my grandfather in his sleep, not like his screaming passengers.
WEEKLY GUIDE TO THE STARS ARIES: March 21 - April 20 A problem is nipped in the bud, but you shouldn’t accept this kind of a close call. Make the extra effort to ensure that it never happens again. TAURUS: April 21 - May 19 Resist the temptation to debate the point. This unexpected move will take the wind out of an opponent’s argument. GEMINI: May 20 - June 21 You’re entering the last phase of a project, so concentrate on wrapping things up. You can save those last minute brilliant ideas for the next one. CANCER: June 22 - July 22 Good news on the financial front. An agreement you slaved over is finally done. Now if only your personal life would follow suit... LEO: July 23 - Aug 22

It’s not too late to apologize or to forgive. What’s unconscionable would be to let this opportunity to make peace slip through your fingers. VIRGO: August 23 - Sept. 22 Even you can get too formulaic in your thinking. Connect the dots in a new and inventive way. Things should be open to interpretation. LIBRA: Sept. 23 - October 22 Do what you think is best. Others are undecided and they’ll be secretly relieved that you made up their minds for them. SCORPIO: October 23 - Nov. 21 You hate turning to a third party, but if you want to settle your differences then you’ll need outside help to mediate an impasse. SAGITTARIUS: Nov. 22 - Dec. 20 Just because you don’t mas-
ter a new skill right off the bat doesn’t mean you’re doomed to failure. It’s too early to throw up your hands. CAPRICORN: Dec. 21 - Jan. 19 The benefit of having different irons in the fire all at once is that you can always switch to another if one burns up. AQUARIUS: Jan 20 - Feb. 18 Trust that inner voice. Checking in to see what others think will only lead to losing the impetus for speaking up in the first place. PISCES: Feb 19 - March 20 A shift in a partner’s fortunes changes the balance of your relationship. This person is now in a position to give back. Just remember not to come off too greedy.

THE LAST WORD by George W. Zander An estimated 6000 Californians are newly diagnosed with HIV. . These 6,000 annually will cost nearly $4.5 billion dollars. A significant reinvestment in HIV/AIDS funding now- to implement new prevention interventions and increase new HIV awareness linages and retention in care. The Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF), a leader in the global effort to end AIDS, announced Wednesday a new series of grants totaling $4.4 million to support organizations fighting the HIV/AIDS epidemic in critical and innovative ways. The Foundation is renewing 16 grants and funding nine new organizations to scale up programs that address societal trends driving the HIV/ AIDS epidemic. This is one of EJAF’s largest grant cycles to date.
treatment, and care for all.” Among the new grants are: Bold projects by Equality California Institute and The Williams Institute in California to change discriminatory state laws enacted during the HIV panics of the 1980s that criminalize HIV transmission. These bold ideas will prove to the Legislature the need for awareness of the HIV/AIDS issue throughout our state. Drop by and see our booth at the PS Pride Fair. November 7-8.
“For more than 20 years, the Elton John AIDS Foundation has been committed to confronting the HIV/AIDS epidemic where it exists,” said EJAF Founder Elton John. “Our newest round of grants supports exciting and innovative projects addressing transgender health, homeless LGBT youth, the continued criminalization of HIV-positive people, and the syringe services for people who George Zander inject drugs.
