Washington State Football Player Gets DUI

If there is one lesson learned by this Washington State football player over the weekend it was this: make sure you aren't violating any obscure laws after the hours of 11:00 p.m. or you are taking your chances if you drive drunk. It appears from this story that a Washington State football player was charged with Seattle DUI after an officer pulled him over at 2:51 a.m. for having studded tires on his vehicle. Really? Studded tires?

From the perspective of a Seattle criminal attorney, it really kind of irks me that cops are driving around at 3 o'clock in the morning looking to pull someone over for as obscure a traffic violation as possible.

I would venture to say that police officer has written only one citation for having studded tires recently (unless that's the "thing" he's known for around the police house). I'm all for getting drunk driver's off the road, but it doesn't sound like this guy was anything but unlucky.

Hopefully he'll get a good DUI attorney to help him out, and maybe he can get this kicked (pretextual stops in Washington are a no-no). In any event, if they guy is ever in Seattle and needs a Seattle DUI attorney, I can point him towards one.

By the way, the website this article comes from has great law firm website SEO. Just thought I'd mention that since I dabble in it a little.
