Tennessee's New DUI Bail Bond Law
I had my first experience dealing with Tennessee's new bail bond law for those accused of DUI second , DUI third, and felony DUI offenses. The new law may keep those accused of these crimes from being released on bond.In Nashville,Tn., once a person is arrested and can't make bond their case is placed on the review docket .The review docket is usually held in courtroom 3C in the A.A. Birch Building.We filed a motion to set bond.The court granted the bond and released my client with the condition that he have an ignition interlock device installed.
I expect a lot more in the coming weeks on this issue.I am of the opinion this law will be challenged on constitutional grounds.
I had no idea about this law...I was just released after 6 days on a 2nd dui and they have required me to the same device installed...also they have put in on probation before even being convicted..Isn't all this against my civil rights...inocent until proven guilty...unless it's a dui then it's guilty until proven inocent...I got my 2nd in Unicio County and the DA there runs the whole court room...the judge even had to ask the DA how to enforce this whole situation...further more they almost made me have the deviced installed before being released...this is just wrong in so many ways
