Governor Richardson Announces New DWI Initiatives
Governor Bill Richardson today announced several new initiatives designed to reduce death and injury due to DWI in New Mexico.
“We have gotten tougher on drunk drivers every year since I became Governor,” said Governor Richardson. “We have done a lot, but as the tragedy that struck the Collins, Garcia and Gonzales families of Las Vegas last November and the wrong way crash at I-25 and Gibson this week indicates, we must do more.”
New initiatives announced today include:
1. Starting today, by dialing # DWI (#394) from any cell phone, New Mexicans will instantly be in touch with DrunkBusters dispatchers to report suspected drunken drivers.

A Request for Discovery is an information request you would make to the prosecutor
Ask usually the District Attorney, for relevant information related to your case. If you were cited for speeding, you may want information on the kind of speed measurement device the officer used to clock your vehicle, or the training records for the officer that measured your speed. A simple written request, sent via registered mail to the District Attorney's office, is usually sufficient to exercise this inquiry.
