Okay.  So I guess we’re going to get back to talking about DUIs.  Sorry.  Let’s check the tweets first.  I don’t know what – I forgot what we were doing.

Okay.  Let’s see.  Yeah, DJ Cutmaster Callum is over there, and he’s helping me, and he’s signaling me to the – check the email?  Okay.  Which question?  Oh.  Okay.  This is a DUI hit and run.  Are there any defenses?

Okay.  I’m not going to let this person’s name out or the facts, but this person was involved in a hit and run DUI.  It doesn’t say if they were breath tested.  Exchanged information after person followed me.  Okay.  The person followed this person, got their information.  They got their information.  They exchanged information.  A meter maid.  A male meter maid.  Hey, Cutmaster, it’s a male meter maid that caught them.  These guys love being called male meter maid.

Hey, Cutmaster can you just play the background music instead of holding up signs of silly things you want me to say, please?  You’re driving me crazy over there.  He’s holding up a sign saying you should call them meter morons.  Thank you, Cutmaster Callum.  I really appreciate that.  Just worry in case I need background music.

All right.  Where were we?  Yes, there are defenses to hit and runs.  The first thing they need to prove when you do a hit and run or you allegedly did a hit and run is that you, in fact, did not get – see this was at 3:00 in the morning, is you did not get the license plate of the person, and you were not planning to call and report it.

Now, of course, if this is at 3:00 in the morning and you’re a small person or just a wuss, I mean, you’re not going to get out of your car at 3:00 in the morning and start door knocking in a rough neighborhood.  I mean, how silly.

I’d love to walk through Brooklyn right after I hit somebody’s brand-new car on rims, some $80,000.00 car, and start knocking on crappy apartments where I know somebody spends all their money on their car.  I’d hate for somebody to come out and say [beeping sound] car.  You can leave and call it in later.  There’s nothing wrong with that.

And if the person was following you and you didn’t get a chance to call it in because you were going to call it in but they were following you because you had the license plate and you exchanged information, fine.  But how do they know you didn’t punch the license plate into your phone or write it down, and you were just going to call it in?  Because it is legal to call it in, especially if you don’t want to get out at 3:00 in the morning in a rough neighborhood, after you've just hit somebody’s life savings in the form of an El Camino from 1942 that’s been fully restored on rims and hydraulic systems and one of those paintjobs with a big mural across the side.

By the way, those are the cars in Brooklyn that have the owners that are the most dangerous, okay.  There’s probably a weapon in that vehicle.  Stay away from that vehicle.  Okay.  Do not knock on doors at 3:00 in the morning trying to find the person in some apartment building where they’re doing crack sales, and hear that that person – that person called them and say, “Hey, I actually hit your car.  How would you like to talk about that?”

Okay.  You can go to the Facebook page.  It’s Facebook.com/LADUIExpert.  LA – I’m sorry, LA DUI – oh, boy, www.facebook.com/laduiexpert.  Okay.  There’s nothing after that.  That’s how it ends. 

So go ahead and give me a call if you have another question.  Again, prevention is the best cure and I would – it’s better than cure, and an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.  Again, much better to follow my advice and not drink and drive, not drink after you've been using drugs or you plan to use drugs or you plan to use alcohol or you plan to drive, anything like that.  Better to not drink.

Now, I discussed plenty of ways to do this.  You can probably rewind and download the show and hear the plenty of ways that you will not have to drink and drive, okay.  It’s never worth it.  The cab is always cheaper.  Again, I don’t think good alternatives are things like riding a bicycle or taking your bicycle.  I know of people that have been killed.  So riding bicycles.  There have been people who have been running home, walked home and they’ve actually been killed while crossing the street and stuff.

Because if you’re drunk at 4:00 in the morning, the odds are somebody else is.  Okay.  So why go out and do this?  There’s really no reason to do this, so just don’t.  It can never really do anything for you, and you can really never get anything out of it.

I’m just looking.  There are Google ads, and I don’t know if you all can see them, on the site that pops up.  And the website is for Hey & Hey, Attorneys at Law, and they do equine law for those – how do you say that, Cutmaster?  Is it equine, equine, equine?  Okay.  That’s what I thought it was.  Okay.  Why were you waving frantically like I said it wrong when I said equine?  Oh, you wanted to tell me to pronounce – no, I know, I was going to say that.  Yes.  Sorry.  It’s Hey & Hey, Attorneys at Law, and they deal with horses. 

So if you need a horse attorney or you’re involved in the middle of horse-trading and there’s a dispute, hire Hey & Hey.  Because, hey, stop horsing around.  Get a real horse lawyer.  [Laughter]  Greatest name for a law firm ever.

How did they get on Google ads, Cutmaster?  It’s random?  I’m not talking about equine law.  Don’t they cater it to the words?  Oh, Google just reads law.  This is good radio, by the way, as I just regurgitate everything Cutmaster says.  Yeah, and Cutmaster is signaling that the Google just apparently does it randomly.  Uh-huh.  So that’s why they’re on there.  But may as well promote them since they’re using Google, right?  That’s Hey & and Hey – that’s H-E-Y – Hey & Hey, attorneys at law.  And they are for horses, equine law.  Hey and Hey.

So if you’re out there horse-trading – we’ll just give them a free commercial since we’re talking about them so much.  [Laughs]  Cutmaster stop it.  Cutmaster is holding up signs with little similes and he tells me to stop horsing around, that hiring a lawyer is like horse-trading.  Thank you.  Hilarious.  Oh, god, I need to get a better DJ over yet.  That’s why I haven’t used you yet.  Yes, because you just keep holding up stupid signs.

How are you – can you see my – oh, you have another – Cutmaster has the same screen.  They’re advertising on our screen, so we may as well talk about Hey & Hey, attorneys at law.  So I would always hire them if you can.  They have great information on their website.  We may as well talk about them; tell you how to get a hold of them.  Hey & Hey, attorneys at law, specializing in horses.  There’s nine dangerous ways an equine enthusiast exposes them to lawsuits.  This is our commercial break, by the way.  Yeah, notice you’re not playing music.  Thanks.  Okay.
