A motion to suppress evidence in a Columbus, Ohio OVI case can be the crux of any case. The motion will challenge many issues relating to the State’s case. Among the issues that may be challenged include:

• whether the officer had the right to stop you;
• whether the officer had an articulable reasonable suspicion of criminal activity;
• whether the standardized field sobriety tests were administered in substantial compliance with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Manual;
• whether the State can prove probable cause to arrest;
• and whether any chemical test was in compliance with both the Ohio Administrative Code and the Ohio revised Code.

Today’s blog is just a precursor to inform the reader of the topics to come.
