Here are some frequently asked questions about the Wright State Weekend Intervention Program.</p>
<blockquote>
<h5>Is the WIP like jail?</h5>
<p>No, WIP isn&#8217;t like jail. Ohio&#8217;s drunk driving law is a tough one though, and because we know this has been a difficult time for you, we make sure WIP is not like jail. At WIP, you are treated as a &#8220;client&#8221; of the program, not a criminal. This means you&#8217;ll be treated with dignity and respect by WIP staff members.</p>
<h5>Why should I attend this program? <em>I&#8217;m not an alcoholic!</em></h5>
<p>WIP is not an alcoholic rehabilitation program. We don&#8217;t label our clients or assume that they have drinking problems. WIP is for people who are in trouble with the law because of alcohol. Part of your weekend will be spent in movies and lectures that will provide information with which you can make more informed decisions about drinking. You&#8217;ll also spend some time in small group discussions and individual consultation with our professional staff. These professionals will assist you in developing a plan that will help you stay out of trouble in the future. We provide some quiet time for rest and personal reflection as well.</p>
<h5>How will attending your program help me?</h5>
<p>We believe it can help you in several ways. First, it will allow you to fulfill your obligation to the court. Second, a state certified defensive driving course offered by WIP may allow you to earn a <a href="http://www.med.wright.edu/citar/wip/two_point">two-point credit</a> on your driving record. Most importantly, though, is the fact that WIP can help you form a plan of action to stay out of this type of trouble. A recent study showed that OVI offenders who participated in WIP and followed the plan of action they worked out with their counselors were less likely to get another OVI. Of course, you&#8217;ll get out of the experience what you&#8217;re willing to put into it.</p>
<h5>Who will know I attend WIP and what happened there?</h5>
<p>In a word, no one. WIP will only release information about you after receiving your permission in writing. We take our clients&#8217; confidentiality and privacy very seriously at WIP. In fact, we are even bound by federal and state laws to protect it.</p>
<h5>Is the WIP certified?</h5>
<p>Yes. The WIP is certified by Ohio&#8217;s Department of Alcohol &amp; Drug Addiction Services. As a certified program, the WIP conforms to all appropriate state regulations.</p>
<h5>How is the Wright State School of Medicine involved?</h5>
<p>The Boonshoft School of Medicine at Wright State University is WIP&#8217;s home. An official program of the School of Medicine, WIP is part of Wright State&#8217;s commitment to our community&#8217;s health and well-being. The WIP also educates medical students about drinking and drug problems and provides opportunities for research.</p>
<h5>Who pays for the WIP?</h5>
<p>The fees our clients pay cover many program costs, including food, accommodations, materials, and professional services. Wright State&#8217;s Boonshoft School of Medicine underwrites all other costs.</p>
<h5>When do I have to pay for this?</h5>
<p>We expect full payments two weeks prior to your scheduled date to attend WIP. Payment can be made by certified check or money order, or for your convenience, VISA, MasterCard, and Discover are accepted. We would be pleased to respond to further questions you have regarding fees.</p></blockquote>

<p><em>According to officials, the program is a big success. The <a class="zem_slink" title="National Highway Traffic Safety Administration" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Highway_Traffic_Safety_Administration" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">National Highway Traffic Safety Administration</a> says that 43 out of 50 states have shown “increased seat belt use” since the program was started in 2003. Officials know this from officers’ observations and from telephone surveys, conducted after a campaign, in which citizens report that they wear their seat belts more often and are more afraid of getting ticketed if they don’t.  Click it or Ticket also probably has converts among lawmakers looking for ways to raise cash because the program makes money for states. </em></p>
<p>If you are ticketed during this law enforcement initiative, contact Charles M. Rowland II and Mark Babb at (937) 318-1384.  You can also find valuable information about Ohio traffic law, speeding, reckless operation, driving under suspension and OVI at the appropriate sections of the <a title="DaytonDUI" href="http://www.daytondui.com" target="_blank">Dayton DUI blog</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Redlightcamera.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="zemanta-img-inserted zemanta-img-configured alignleft" title="A red-light camera in use in Beaverton, Oregon..." alt="A red-light camera in use in Beaverton, Oregon..." src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/Redlightcamera.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>The followers of <a title="Dayton DUI on Facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/daytondui" target="_blank">Dayton DUI</a> on Facebook, Twitter and Google+ and loyal followers of this blog have listened to me complain about red-light cameras and speed cameras in Ohio for over three years.  I have urged you to contact your local representatives and to let your opposition be known.  We are now in the final push and our concerns are being heard!</p>
<p>Ohio&#8217;s 130th General Assembly has introduced <a title="Red Light Camera Bill, H.B. 69" href="http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/bills.cfm?ID=130_HB_69_I" target="_blank">House Bill 69</a>, which would eliminate red light cameras and speed cameras throughout Ohio.  The proposal reads, in pertinent part,</p>
<blockquote><p>“<em>No local authority or the state highway patrol, utilizing either its own employees, those of another public entity, or those of a private entity, shall use a traffic law photo-monitoring device to determine compliance with, or to detect a violation of section <a href="http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/4511.13v2">4511.13</a> (red light violation) or <a href="http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/4511.21v2">4511.21</a>(speed violation) of the Revised Code or a substantially equivalent municipal ordinance or county or township resolution.</em>”</p></blockquote>
<p>As reported in the <a title="Huffington Post" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/11/red-light-cameras_n_2853464.html" target="_blank">Huffington Post</a> and the linked Coshoctan Tribune story, State Rep. Ron Hood (R-Ashville) cited safety concerns as the main reason for introducing the ban on the cameras, <a href="http://www.coshoctontribune.com/article/20130310/NEWS01/303100029/Bill-would-ban-traffic-cameras-statewide?nclick_check=1" target="_hplink">the Coshocton Tribune reported</a>. The Ohio proposal would ban use of the cameras for both red light and speed limit enforcement within the state, making Ohio part of a growing number of states to ban the usage of one or both types of cameras. Lawmakers seeking to enact such bans have also raised privacy issues as a point of concern. “Several recent studies, including a federal report, have confirmed that traffic photo-monitoring devices increase the number of rear-end collisions at intersections that are monitored by these devices,” Hood said in a statement to the <a href="http://www.coshoctontribune.com/article/20130310/NEWS01/303100029/Bill-would-ban-traffic-cameras-statewide?nclick_check=1" target="_hplink">Coshocton Tribune.</a></p>
<p>The Ohio legislation comes after a judge in Hamilton County said that a speeding ticket issued due to a photo enforced camera violated the state&#8217;s due process laws.  I have long cited the failure of due process and the dangers of using law enforcement as a revenue source (policing for profit) as my opposition to the cameras.   Your right to confront your accuser, your right to have the state prove the identity of the driver, the right to a trial in a criminal or quasi-criminal proceeding, and many other important American traditions have been trampled by greedy municipalities who see automated police as a means of taxation without representation.</p>
<p>I now call on you again to make your voice heard.  The readership of this blog and the &#8220;reach&#8221; of Dayton DUI on Facebook brings our collective voice to over 20,000 people. We have the ear of <a title="Rep. Rick Perales" href="http://www.ohiohouse.gov/rick-perales" target="_blank">Rep. Rick Perales</a> who has been amazingly attentive to our previous calls.  Call your State Rep at  <em><strong>1-800-282-0253</strong></em> Monday &#8211; Friday 8:30 a.m. &#8211; 5:00 p.m. Visit the<a title="Ohio House" href="http://www.ohiohouse.gov/" target="_blank"> Ohio House of Representatives</a> website to email your State Rep.  This is our time to ban these abominations once and for all.</p>

<p>In order to successfully defend a urinalysis case, a <a title="DaytonDUI" href="http://www.daytondui.com" target="_blank">DUI defense lawyer</a> must be familiar with Ohio&#8217;s DUI law (<a title="ORC 4511.19" href="http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/4511.19" target="_blank">O.R.C. 4511.19</a>) and the Ohio Administrative Code sections which apply to the collection, storing, transporting and testing of the urine specimen.  Amphetamine, cocaine, heroine, Marijuana, Methamphetamine, Phencyclidine and L.S.D. are specifically mentioned in Ohio&#8217;s DUI/OVI statute as illegal controlled substances. The law states how much of each substance must be detected in a chemical test of urine, whole blood, blood plasma, and/or blood serum in order to sustain a charge.  While less reliable than a blood or breath test, the urine test is increasingly favored by law e</p>
<p>nforcement officers because it allows them to expand the parameters of their suspicion to include illicit and prescription drugs. Sometimes the urine test will be requested <em><strong>after</strong></em> a breath test produces a result under the .08% BAC limit.  If this is the case, your attorney should employ more traditional factual defenses such as a lack of probable cause to suspect drug use before leaping to a more scientific challenge to the collection, storage, transporting or testing of the urine sample.  If the facts support a urine test then your attorney must hold the State to its proof.</p>
<p>The urine test must be collected by an authorized person within three hours of the alleged violation according to <a title="O.R.C. 4511.19" href="http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/4511.19" target="_blank">Ohio Revised Code 4511.19(D)</a>. It reads in pertinent part,</p>
<blockquote><p><em>4511.19(D)(1)(b). In any criminal prosecution or juvenile court proceeding for a violation of division (A) or (B) of this section or for an equivalent offense that is vehicle-related, the court may admit evidence on the concentration of alcohol, drugs of abuse, controlled substances, metabolites of a controlled substance, or a combination of them in the defendant’s whole blood, blood serum or plasma, breath, urine, or other bodily substance at the time of the alleged violation as shown by chemical analysis of the substance withdrawn within three hours of the time of the alleged violation. The three-hour time limit specified in this division regarding the admission of evidence does not extend or affect the two-hour time limit specified in division (A) of section 4511.192 of the Revised Code as the maximum period of time during which a person may consent to a chemical test or tests as described in that section. The court may admit evidence on the concentration of alcohol, drugs of abuse, or a combination of them as described in this division when a person submits to a blood, breath, urine, or other bodily substance test at the request of a law enforcement officer under section 4511.191 of the Revised Code or a blood or urine sample is obtained pursuant to a search warrant. Only a physician, a registered nurse, an emergency medical technician-intermediate, an emergency medical technician-paramedic, or a qualified technician, chemist, or phlebotomist shall withdraw a blood sample for the purpose of determining the alcohol, drug, controlled substance, metabolite of a controlled substance, or combination content of the whole blood, blood serum, or blood plasma. This limitation does not apply to the taking of breath or urine specimens. A person authorized to withdraw blood under this division may refuse to withdraw blood under this division, if in that person’s opinion, the physical welfare of the person would be endangered by the withdrawing of blood.</em></p></blockquote>
<p><a title="OAC 3701-53" href="http://codes.ohio.gov/oac/3701-53" target="_blank">Ohio Administrative Code 3701-53</a> sets forth the manner in which the urine samples are to be collected. 3710-53-05 (D) states that the &#8220;collection of a urine specimen must be witnessed to assure that the sample can be authenticated.&#8221;  It further requires that the &#8220;urine shall be deposited into a clean glass or plastic screw top container which shall be capped.&#8221;  This section also contains an escape hatch for prosecutors if the collection is botched.  The test will still be admitted if it was &#8220;collected according to the laboratory protocol as written in the laboratory procedure manual.&#8221;  3701-53-05(E) requires the &#8220;urine containers shall be sealed in a manner such that tampering can be detected and have a label which contains at least the following information:</p>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Name of suspect;</li>
<li>Date and time of collection;</li>
<li>Name or initials of person collecting the sample; and</li>
<li>Name or initials of person sealing the sample.</li>
</ol>
<p>Much case law has been decided regarding the refrigeration requirement of 3701-53-05(F), which requires that, &#8220;While not in transit or under examination, all blood and urine specimens shall be refrigerated.&#8221;  In <em><strong>State v. Koehler</strong></em> (2000), 107 Ohio Misc. 2d 28, a Pataskala urine specimen spent eighteen days in the mail, unrefrigerated, on its way to lab in Columbus. The Court found the undue delay in transit leads to conclusion there was not substantial compliance with refrigeration requirement.  In <strong><em>State v. Cook</em></strong> (1992), 82 Ohio App. 3d 619, the court found the O.A.C. regulations were substantially complied with where urine sample was not refrigerated for fifteen to twenty minutes between collection and being mailed to lab in Columbus, or during the three days it was in the mail.  If you suspect that your sample was not properly refrigerated you should hire an expert witness.  In <strong><em>State v. Casaday</em></strong> (1987), 40 Ohio App. 3d 52, a diabetic defendant challenged a urine sample.  The court held that &#8220;[d]espite substantial compliance with <a href="http://codes.ohio.gov/oac/3701-53-05" target="_blank">Ohio Adm. Code 3701-53-05(F)</a> in the analysis of a urine sample, test results may be inadmissible based on expert testimony that the results were inaccurate due to fermentation caused by lack of refrigeration and the high glucose content of the urine sample.&#8221;</p>
<p><a title="Blood, Urine and other bodily substances" href="http://codes.ohio.gov/oac/3701-53-03" target="_blank">Ohio Administrative Code 3701-53-03</a>(A)(1) and (A)(2)  sets forth the <em><strong>two</strong></em> approved methods for testing alcohol in urine: Gas chromatography and Enzyme assays.  O.A.C. 3701-53-03(B)(1) through (B)(6) sets forth the approved method for testing drugs of abuse in a urine sample: (1) Immunoassay; (2) Thin-layer chromatography; (3) Gas chromatography; (4) Mass spectroscopy; (5) High performance liquid chromatography; or (6) Spectroscopy.  Urine evidence can be excluded if the method used to analyze the urine for alcohol, if not a specifically approved method, does not have documented sensitivity, accuracy, precision, and linearity, or the method is not based on procedures which have been published in a peer reviewed or juried scientific journal or thoroughly documented by the laboratory pursuant to OAC 3701-53-03(A).  OAC 3701-53-03(B) requires the positive results of presumptive tests for drugs of abuse be confirmed by one or more dissimilar analytical techniques or methods as a part of a testing procedure.</p>
<p>Another area of challenge is the calibration of the machines used to test the samples. O.A.C. 3701-53-04 sets forth the requirements for instrument checks, controls and certifications.  It reads, in pertinent part,</p>
<div>
<blockquote><p><em>(A) A senior operator shall perform an instrument check on approved evidential breath testing instruments listed under paragraphs (A)(1), (A)(2), and (B) of rule <a title="3701-53-02" href="http://codes.ohio.gov/oac/3701-53-02">3701-53-02</a>no less frequently than once every seven days in accordance with the appropriate instrument checklist for the instrument being used. The instrument check may be performed anytime up to one hundred and ninety-two hours after the last instrument check.</em></p>
<ol>
<li><em>The instrument shall be checked to detect radio frequency interference (RFI) using a hand-held radio normally used by the law enforcement agency performing the instrument check. The RFI detector check is valid when the evidential breath testing instrument detects RFI or aborts a subject test. If the RFI detector check is not valid, the instrument shall not be used until the instrument is serviced.</em></li>
<li><em>An instrument shall be checked using a solution containing ethyl alcohol approved by the director of health. An instrument check result is valid when the result of the instrument check is at or within five one-thousandths ( 0.005 ) grams per two hundred ten liters of the target value for that approved solution. An instrument check result which is outside the range specified in this paragraph shall be confirmed by the senior operator using another bottle of approved solution. If this instrument check result is also out of range, the instrument shall not be used until the instrument is serviced or repaired.</em></li>
</ol>
<p><em>(B) Instruments listed under paragraph (A)(3) of rule <a title="3701-53-02" href="http://codes.ohio.gov/oac/3701-53-02">3701-53-02</a> of the Administrative Code shall automatically perform a dry gas control test before and after every subject test and instrument certification using a dry gas standard traceable to the national institute of standards and technology(NIST). Dry gas control results are valid when the results are at or within five one-thousandths ( 0.005 ) grams per two hundred ten liters of the alcohol concentration on the manufacturer’s certificate of analysis for that dry gas standard. A dry gas control result which is outside the range specified in this paragraph will abort the subject test or instrument certification in progress.</em></p>
<p><em>(C) Representatives of the director shall perform an instrument certification on approved evidential breath testing instruments listed under paragraph (A) (3) of rule <a title="3701-53-02" href="http://codes.ohio.gov/oac/3701-53-02">3701-53-02</a> of the Administrative Code using a solution containing ethyl alcohol approved by the director of health according to the instrument display for the instrument being certified. An instrument shall be certified no less frequently than once every calendar year or when the dry gas standard on the instrument is replaced, whichever comes first. Instrument certifications are valid when the certification results are at or within five one-thousandths grams per two hundred ten liters of the target value for that approved solution. Instruments with certification results outside the range specified in this paragraph will require the instrument be removed from service until the instrument is serviced or repaired. Certification results shall be retained in a manner prescribed by the director of health.</em></p>
<p><em>(D) An instrument check or certification shall be made in accordance with paragraphs (A) and (C) of this rule when a new evidential breath testing instrument is placed in service or when the instrument is returned after service or repairs, before the instrument is used to test subjects.</em></p>
<p><em>(E) A bottle of approved solution shall not be used more than three months after its date of first use, or after the manufacturer’s expiration date on the approved solution certificate, whichever comes first. After first use, a bottle of approved solution shall be kept under refrigeration when not being used. The approved solution bottle shall be retained for reference until that bottle of approved solution is discarded.</em></p>
<p><em>(F) Each testing day, the analytical techniques or methods used in rule <a title="3701-53-03" href="http://codes.ohio.gov/oac/3701-53-03">3701-53-03</a> of the Administrative Code shall be checked for proper calibration under the general direction of the designated laboratory director. General direction does not mean that the designated laboratory director must be physically present during the performance of the calibration check.</em></p>
<p><em>(G) Results of instrument checks, controls, certifications, calibration checks and records of service and repairs shall be retained in accordance with paragraph (A) of rule <a title="3701-53-01" href="http://codes.ohio.gov/oac/3701-53-01">3701-53-01</a> of the Administrative Code.</em></p></blockquote>
</div>
<p>Your attorney should also file a detailed discovery request requiring the lab to document the chain of custody and a request that the sample be made available for private testing by your privately retained expert.  Ohio Administrative Code <a title="OAC 3701-53-06" href="http://codes.ohio.gov/oac/3701-53-06" target="_blank">3701-53-06</a>(A), requires that the, &#8220;[c]hain of custody and the test results for evidential alcohol and drugs of abuse shall be identified and retained for not less than three years, after which time the documents may be discarded unless otherwise directed in writing from a court. All positive blood, urine and other bodily substances shall be retained in accordance with rule <a title="3701-53-05" href="http://codes.ohio.gov/oac/3701-53-05">3701-53-05</a> of the Administrative Code for a period of not less than one year, after which time the specimens may be discarded unless otherwise directed in writing from a court.&#8221;  Your attorney should also demand proof that the laboratory has complied with each of the additional requirements set forth in O.A.C. 3701-53-06 which include:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>(B) The laboratory shall successfully complete a national proficiency testing program using the applicable technique or method for which the laboratory personnel seek a permit under rule <a title="3701-53-09" href="http://codes.ohio.gov/oac/3701-53-09">3701-53-09</a> of the Administrative Code.</em></p>
<p><em>(C) The laboratory shall have a written procedure manual of all analytical techniques or methods used for testing of alcohol or drugs of abuse in bodily substances. Textbooks and package inserts or operator manuals from the manufacturer may be used to supplement, but may not be used in lieu of the laboratory’s own procedure manual for testing specimens.</em></p>
<p><em>(D) The designated laboratory director shall review, sign, and date the procedure manual as certifying that the manual is in compliance with this rule. The designated laboratory director shall ensure that:</em></p>
<ol>
<li><em>Any changes in a procedure be approved, signed, and dated by the designated laboratory director;</em></li>
<li><em>The date the procedure was first used and the date the procedure was revised or discontinued is recorded;</em></li>
<li><em>A procedure shall be retained for not less than three years after the procedure was revised or discontinued, or in accordance with a written order issued by any court to the laboratory to save a specimen that was analyzed under that procedure;</em></li>
<li><em>Laboratory personnel are adequately trained and experienced to perform testing of blood, urine and other bodily substances for alcohol and drugs of abuse and shall ensure, maintain and document the competency of laboratory personnel. The designated laboratory director shall also monitor the work performance and verify the skills of laboratory personnel;</em></li>
<li><em>The procedure manual includes the criteria the laboratory shall use in developing standards, controls, and calibrations for the technique or method involved; and</em></li>
<li><em>A complete and timely procedure manual is available and followed by laboratory personnel.</em></li>

<p>Your Ohio DUI attorney should also file a detailed discovery request for information on the personnel conducting the testing to see if the person meets the required qualifications as set forth in Ohio Administrative Code 3701-53-07.  Did the laboratory technician who analyzed the urine complete the proficiency exam, administered by a national program for proficiency testing for the approved technique or method of analysis used to test the urine, in a satisfactory manner, pursuant to OAC 3701-53-07(A)(2) for alcohol and OAC 3701-53-07(B)(2) for drugs of abuse?  Was the laboratory technician who analyzed the urine certified by the designated laboratory director that he or she is competent to perform all procedures contained in the laboratory’s written procedure manual for testing specimens, pursuant to OAC 3701-53-07(A)(2) for alcohol and 3701-53-07(B)(2) for drugs of abuse?  Did the laboratory technician who analyzed the urine meet the requirements set forth in OAC 3701-53-07 (A)(2)(a-d) for alcohol testing and OAC 3701-53-07(B)(2)(a-d) for drug testing?  Did the person analyzing the urine sample have a laboratory director’s permit or a laboratory technician’s permit issued by the director of health under OAC 3701-53-09(A)(1) for alcohol testing and (A)(2) for drug testing; and if not , was the designated laboratory director who performed the tests, the testing technician under the general direction of a laboratory director pursuant to OAC 3701-53-07(A) for alcohol testing and (B) for drug testing?  Did the person analyzing the urine, if they were a laboratory technician, conduct a technique or method of analysis that was listed on the laboratory director’s permit, pursuant to OAC 3701-53-07(A) for alcohol testing and 3701-53-07(B) for drug testing?  And finally, did the designated director of the laboratory where the urine was analyzed meet the qualifications for said laboratory director’s permit, pursuant to OAC 3701-53-07(A)(1) for alcohol testing and OAC 3701-53-07(B)(1) for drug testing?  Ohio Administrative Code 3701-53-08 sets forth the requirements that lab personnel pass surveys and proficiency tests.  Make sure your attorney&#8217;s discovery requests demands to see the results of these tests.</p>
<p>Assuming that each and every regulation was followed to the letter, your attorney can still mount a defense based on the weakness of urinalysis in general.  Illicit drugs remain in the urine much after their impairing influence has dissipated. Marijuana can show up in a urine test three days after the drug has been used.  Heavy users of marijuana can have metabolites in their urine for up to three months.  Significant issues exist for alcohol urine tests due to alcohol&#8217;s affinity for water.  Alcohol is normally present in water at a much higher rate than in the blood. Because of this higher occurrence a urine test will usually result in a person being convicted of DUI even though their actual BAC is within legal limits.  The National Institute of Drug Abuse conducted a study of urine tests and found that 1 in 5 testing labs incorrectly reported the presence of illegal drugs in urine samples &#8211; <em><strong>A 20% ERROR RATE!</strong></em>  Imagine going to your bank and asking for $10,000.00.  The teller returns with $8,000.00 and apologetically tells you that the bank is within 20%.  You would never accept such a shoddy result.  You should hire an attorney who will challenge the entire process of collecting, documenting, transferring, and testing urine.  This will require an attorney who has dedicated themselves to obtaining the highest level of skill in the complex field of DUI defense.</p>
