In the attorney’s experience described in this video, DUI police reports tend to focus on observations harmful to the driver. Favorable observations may receive less attention or be omitted.
A report may not describe a field sobriety exercise even though the recording shows the driver performing it well. The same may be true of getting out of the car without difficulty, providing documents, or speaking politely and respectfully.
A DUI defense should compare the written account with the recording and assess both favorable and unfavorable evidence. The report should be read in that broader context.
