2. Hollabaugh, James: Overview of Implied Consent in Drunk Driving Cases Understandably, when a motorist is pulled over for drunk driving, the motorist is generally reluctant to agree to a chemical test because the test results could be used as evidence to convict the motorist of a drunk driving offense. Many states have implied consent laws that essentially provide that a person that drives a motor vehicle is deemed to have given consent to chemical testing of his or her blood or urine for the purpose of determining the alcohol content of the motorist's blood if the motorist is lawfully arrested. More... Overview of License Violation Penalties The most common license violations include failing to possess a valid driver's license; driving with an expired license; driving on a revoked or suspended license; failing to notify the department of public safety or bureau of motor vehicles of a change of name or address; and operating a motor vehicle in violation of a restriction or an endorsement imposed on your license. Generally license violation offenses are considered misdemeanors. The motorists are usually required to pay a fine if the motorist commits a license violation. More... Admissibility of Blood Alcohol Tests in Drunk Driving Cases All 50 states and the District of Columbia have enacted statutes requiring a motorist arrested for drunk driving to submit to a chemical blood test. These statutes are known as "implied consent" laws. Under these laws, a motorist suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol is deemed to have consented to a chemical analysis test designed to measure blood alcohol content level. More... Expungement of DUI/DWI Convictions If you have been convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI), you have a criminal record. Contrary to popular belief, the conviction does not go off your criminal record after seven or ten years. The conviction stays on your record for life unless you do something. However, in many cases, a convicted drunk driver can have his or her record expunged. More... "Wet Reckless" Convictions in DUI/DWI Cases In some states, motorists who have been charged with driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) may be able to plea bargain the charge down to a wet reckless charge. A wet reckless charge is considered a lesser charge than a DUI or DWI. In addition, a wet reckless charge usually carries a sentence of probation rather than jail time, and the fines involved are usually lower. Although the name of the offense is "wet reckless," there is no requirement that there is any reckless driving. More...
3. Alpers, Steven: Fighting a DUI charge is crucial. More than just the inconvenience to your daily life, the loss of your driver's license could leave without the ability to earn a living. It is in your best interests to fight the charges against you, as the cumulative effects of prior convictions can lead to you facing felony charges from any future arrests. Don't wait until it is too late.
4. Earl Jiang: It is important to consult with a qualified California criminal lawyer as soon as possible after your arrest. In DUI / drunk driving cases, for example, strict deadlines must be met in order to preserve your right to a DMV hearing. Otherwise, your license will be suspended automatically.
5. Leon Mezzetti: Defense attorneys appointed by the state, as talented as they may be, frequently are overloaded with clients and do not have the time to build a strong defense. Q: Are breath-test results always accurate? A: Some courts allow the defendant in a drunk-driving case to challenge the scientific accuracy of breath tests in general, whereas others may allow challenges based on the particular circumstances of a test, such as improperly calibrated equipment or inadequately trained officers. If the test results are inadmissible or can be challenged, the case will probably have to be proven based on other evidence, such as eyewitness testimony and field-sobriety test results.
6. Mark Cohen: The measure of how much a society truly values the freedoms it affords its citizens is directly proportionate to how it treats those accused of a crime.
7. Steven Citti: If you have been arrested and accused of a crime, it is in your best interests to speak immediately with an experienced criminal defense attorney, regardless of guilt or innocence.
