Wisconsin Administrative Driver's License Administrative Suspension Proceedings Before DOT, OWI Cases

Send me a private email and I will happily reply with a copy of the statutes. A distinct odor of Kangaroo usually persists in the WI DOT's administrative review courts; over which a local DOT "counter" employee normally presides. I have not reviewed the statute just recently, however, there was a right to testify and present evidence the last time I looked. What has recently been added is an obligation to appear; formerly we could request a "paper review" which we sometimes won if the arresting agency did not submit the reports to the DOT on time. There never has been any right of confrontation or cross examination; the hearsay police reports are admitted into evidence.
