Even the most zealous, "scorched earth litigator," never waive anything in court except the flag, DUI defense attorney would probably have to concede that the police had grounds to stop this driver. A woman who had been drinking mistook the famous Atlantic City Boardwalk for a road. A police captain stated that he was on patrol when the car sped past him on the Boardwalk. The officer gave chase with lights and siren when the car made a U-turn and nearly struck his patrol car. The officer broke off the chase when speeds reached 40 mph because of the fear for the safety of the few pedestrians on the wooden structure.

The driver was eventually cut off by two motorcycle officers and charged with DUI, reckless and careless driving, and driving on the Boardwalk.
