Brown Law Office OVI/DUI News

The Ninth District Court of Appeals recently reiterated in State v. Protsman, 2018-Ohio-3927 that the standard by which to judge an officer’s actions in an OVI/DUI case is substantial compliance, not strict compliance.  This has been the standard in OVI/DUI cases in Ohio since the General Assembly amended 4511.19 to abrogate the Ohio Supreme Court’s decision in State v. Homan, 89 Ohio St.3d 421 (2000).  A link to the Ninth District’s decision can be found here.
