Can DRE testimony be used in a municipal or state court cases in the state of NJ?
answered on Apr 2, 2021
The special master decided that a Frye hearing is required to determine if DRE evidence is generally accepted. The Supreme Court approved of this, but did not issue a stay on DRE cases. Each municipal court is free to do what they please.
My case is solely based on DRE observations - no urine taken - no blood taken and a 0.00 blown in breathalyzer. Is the DRE observation enough to convict me with just observing me by DRE officer?
answered on Mar 20, 2021
The Supreme Court has denied a stay for these issues. So you should be demanding an immediate trial. Since the Frye Hearing is ongoing the DRE would be inadmissible and you should win.

answered on Oct 19, 2020
Best to ask your lawyer who handled the case but generally a step down only relates to the sentence and not to the number of DWI s you had so probably it's your third but check with your lawyer.

Maybe that is up to a judge, a prosecutor would argue that since the keys were in the ignition you intended to operate the car, the fact that the car was on the shoulder shows that you operated it and you intended to continue to operate the car just due to circumstances beyond your control it could...
