In this episode of Season Four, we learn all about the IID program in Connecticut. 

Connecticut DUI lawyer Teresa DiNardi explains that many people convicted of a Connecticut DUI have to have an ignition interlock device (IID) installed on their vehicles in order to properly drive. After a driver's license suspension, the IID is required for a period of time, depending on your situation. Failure to drive a vehicle with an IID can result in additional penalties and license suspensions.

We have more information about the IID on our website. To keep in touch with Teresa, follow her on Facebook. 

In this episode Attorney DiNardi, better known as Lady DUI, talks about Connecticut driving. More specifically, she talks about how you can get a work permit if you license is suspended and how to navigate the ignition interlock program with the DMV.

Oftentimes after receiving a Connecticut DUI, your driver's license will be suspended. You may receive a suspension from the court, the Department of Motor Vehicles, or both. If your license is suspended, you are not allowed to drive a vehicle under any circumstances UNLESS you apply for and are granted a work or education permit. These permits allow you to drive to and from work or school ONLY so that you can keep working or continue your education. 

Teresa explains these permits in greater detail in this episode. For more information, check out the Ruane Attorneys website. 

Attorney Teresa DiNardi explains how you wind up with two different cases when arrested for a Connecticut DUI and what that means for you and your license.

Being charged with a Connecticut DUI will trigger two processes against you - the court process and the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) process. The court process will determine if you were driving under the influence and will result in criminal penalties such as fines, a license suspension, jail time, a criminal conviction, and more. The DMV process will determine if the DMV should suspend your license as a result of the acts that you are accused of. 

These cases are independent of one another, but it is a good idea to find a Connecticut DUI lawyer who can fight for you in both. To learn more, visit our website and follow Teresa on Facebook. 

In  this episode, Teresa DiNardi, of Ruane Attorneys' DUI Team breaks down the field sobriety tests and explains how they came to be and what the limitations are in a DUI case.

If you are pulled over for a Connecticut DUI, chances are that the police officer will ask you to take standardized field sobriety tests. These tests are the walk-and-turn test, the one leg stand test, and the horizontal gaze nystagmus test. These tests supposedly determine whether or not a person is intoxicated, but they are flawed. Teresa explains more here.

In this episode, sex crimes defense lawyer Attorney Brittany Paz discusses the crime of Public Indecency in Connecticut and how it is prosecuted and defended in Connecticut.

Public indecency differs from many other sex crimes because it is not necessary a non consensual act. You and your partner could consent to the sexual act and still be charged with public indecency if you are engaging in sexual acts in a public place. Therefore, consent is not a defense to this crime.
