Legal Question in DUI Law in Wisconsin

It would be improper for me to comment on a case on which you are already represented by a lawyer; you should direct your questions instead to him. However, one question I would ask you in this scenario is "what's your hurry?" If the case, like many OWI's, ultimately results in a conviction and jail time, why would your boyfriend want to do this sooner rather than later? Rushing a case usually benefits the government far more than it benefits the defendant, since the government has the burden of proof and the passage of time nearly always makes this more difficult for them. Also, although there are ways to push the judge, is this really a good idea? My experience is that a rushed decision is far more likely to be worse than a decision which is the result of long and careful deliberation. Finally, your lawyer is probably not offering lots or answers because there he has none; that is, he has no more new information than you do, and he probably will let you know once something new becomes available to him. He is also probably trying to avoid burning up all the time for which your boyfriend has paid him in conversations which do not advance his case in any way. As for the conduct of the officers, your implication that probable cause is sometimes "manufactured" by the officers is possibly accurate. Intentionally placing drivers who they are observing for suspected OWI in stressful situations is a part of some officer's formal training. Depending upon the subject's reaction to the law enforcement presence, there may be evidence of either sobriety or intoxication. However, there is a line which should not be crossed and judges can sometimes throw out cases for this reason.
