Dabney v. Department of Public Safety

1 Citing case

  1. State v. Downer

    460 So. 2d 1184 (La. Ct. App. 1984)   Cited 14 times
    In State v. Downer, 460 So.2d 1184 (La.App. 2d Cir. 1984), defendant was read from a form advising him of the same Consequences read to defendant in the instant case.

    The case of State v. Clark, 446 So.2d 293 (La. 1984), not cited in the state's memorandum, held that "substantial compliance" with R.S. 32:661 will support a conviction. Other cases have reached a similar result, such as State v. Sims, 426 So.2d 148 (La. 1983); Dabney v. Dept. of Public Safety, 298 So.2d 295 (La.App. 1st Cir. 1974), writ denied 302 So.2d 25 (La. 1974); Kolb v. State Dept. of Public Safety, 299 So.2d 877 (La.App. 4th Cir. 1974). We do not agree that there was "substantial compliance" with R.S. 32:661 in the present case.
