DUI Charges

When a driver operates any moving vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, he/she will be charged with driving under the influence (DUI). A DUI conviction is a serious offense, as it may lead to auto accidents, injuries and death. Regardless of the legality of the substance, if a driver is found to be driving under the influence, he or she will be charged with a DUI.

If a law enforcement officer suspects a driver is operating under the influence of drugs or alcohol, they have the right to test the driver’s blood alcohol content (BAC). The blood alcohol content describes the amount of alcohol a person has in his/her blood stream. In the United States, the legal BAC limit for a person over the age of 21 is 0.08%. For a person under the age of 21, the BAC can be no more than 0.01%. If a person is found with a BAC that exceeds the legal limit for his/her age group, he/she will be charged with a DUI.

Driving under the influence is a serious criminal act that can result in harsh consequences if convicted. If you are convicted with a DUI charge, you may face jail time, heavy fines, mandatory workshop attendance, license revocation or suspension, probation, or community service
