He followed in 2003 with Baker v Gourley which established the rule that DMV can't rely on police opinions of intoxication to suspend drivers' licenses. His class action suit against the entire Irvine Police Department for failing to give DUI arrestees a choice between blood/breath and urine tests resulted in the decision in Nelson v. City of Irvine in the Federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. In that case he established for the first time that an arrestee has a constitutional right to choose a breath test and that the police cannot compel a blood test from a driver who wants a breath test, except under unusual circumstances. He recently co-authored an Amicus Curiae Brief for the United States Supreme Court in the case of Illinois v. Lidster challenging police use of "Roadblocks".
