Chicago DUI attorney comments on judges grousing about the law

This Chicago DUI attorney was prepared.  Prepared that the judge might not follow the law, she even warned her client. 

Earlier last week, she had a judge attempt to barter her legal representation of her client in exchange for the judge signing off on the MDDP.


In open court, the judge expressed his outrage that the legislators were forcing him to sign the MDDP.  You already know that the MDDP permits the accused to drive a vehicle while the case is pending with a BAIID installed.  Yes he signed it but the experience was humiliating.

Really, if the concern of the state is met, that the roads are kept safe from those who drive under the influence of alcohol, then why on earth would any judge refuse to sign off on an MDDP? 

There would be a lot of irony if the accused was charged with a subsequent DUI when that could have been precluded if the judge had followed the law.
