Speeding Conviction REVERSED Due to Improper Calibration Certificate

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Nov 9th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Earlier this week the Virginia Court of Appeals reversed a speeding conviction by finding that the trial judge improperly accepted the officer’s tuning fork calibrations into evidence. What was the problem? It’s an issue I’ve talked about before: is the calibration certificate a “true copy”? The officer waving a piece of paper around isn’t enough. […]



The Lobster, Waterville, Ireland

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Nov 9th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

During our day-long drive around Ring of Kerry in Ireland, we stopped for lunch in Waterville at The Lobster. A lobster raising a pint of Guinness on the front of the bright yellow and red building drew us in. As we entered the restaurant my son looked…



November chasing potential?

To answer the post title…not so much here in Virginia, but perhaps in Texas.  This GFS forecast graphic for Sunday afternoon (Veterans’ Day) shows a significant amount of CAPE – i.e. instability – along the I-35 corridor from Oklahoma City down …



It’s Not Just “The Economy”

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Nov 8th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local, Politics

Exit polls indicated that 60 percent of voters say that the economy was the top issue in this presidential election. Sadly that is a very near-sighted and selfish view of the issues. I suspect that by “economy,” what they really mean is they want the g…

If you have a license plate frame or cover on your vehicle in Virginia, you’re asking to be pulled over. My recommendation: take it off! Video Transcription Hello, my name is Andrew Flusche. I’m a Virginia traffic attorney. A lot of people have license plate frames or license plate covers on their vehicles, and I’m […]



DUI Punishment with Ankle Bracelets

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Nov 7th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

24/7 Sobriety, a state-administered program aimed at reducing the number of DUIs, is becoming increasingly popular across the nation and particularly in states with high rates of DUI arrests. The program monitors offenders for alcohol intake through either a breath test (twice a day, every day) or an ankle bracelet. Should the offender fail the […]



Concealed Carriers Vote Too

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Nov 6th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local, Politics

Virginia requires some sort of ID to vote. A photo ID is not required, just something showing your name and address. The list of acceptable IDs is quite extensive and inclusive to prevent any whining claims of hardship. The bottom item on the list warm…



Idiot Sign for Passing a Stopped School Bus

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Nov 6th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Of all the things I’ve seen in my time as a traffic defense attorney, nothing’s come close to this. Apparently a Cleveland driver didn’t want to wait for a stopped school bus. Instead of detouring around the bus, she drove on the sidewalk. The bus driver caught the whole situation on video: It’s no surprise […]
