San Diego University Substance Abuse Center:

The primary mission of the Center on Substance Abuse (CSA) Driving Under the Influence Program (DUIP) is to help reduce the incidence and prevalence of driving under the influence and the negative consequences of this behavior for our community and its residents, and to assist participants in identifying and seeking solutions to their own alcohol and other drug problems.

In order to accomplish this mission, we are committed to providing, under the guidelines established by the State of California and the County of San Diego, the highest quality of educational and counseling services to those who have been convicted of violating the DUI laws.

The San Diego State University CSA DUI Program operates under California license, (#3700501120). The Official licensee is the SDSU Foundation a California non-profit organization under Chapter 501(3)c of the IRS Code. However, the program is administered by the University College of Health & Human Services, School of Social Work through the CSA.

7. Speredelozzi, Matthew: Almost anyone can get accused of DUI. Unfortunately, the consequences of a DUI conviction are extremely serious. It can ruin employment opportunities, cost thousands in fines and fees, and even result in jail time. If you are charged with a DUI, you need an Attorney who will explore every option and investigate every avenue of your case. You need an attorney who is not afraid to stand up to the prosecution, negotiate for a dismissal or plea deal, or take the case to trial. DUI Information The crime of Driving under the influence of alcohol is governed by California Vehicle Code section 23152 (a) and 23152 (b). ÒIt is unlawful for any person who is under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug, or under the combined influence of any alcoholic beverage and drug, to drive a vehicle.Ó California Vehicle Code 23152 (a) ÒIt is unlawful for any person who has 0.08 percent or more, by weight, of alcohol in his or her blood to drive a vehicle.Ó California Vehicle Code 23152 (b) Generally, when a person is arrested for a first time DUI, they are booked and released within 4 to 12 hours. They must sign a promise to appear declaration and an arraignment (first court appearance) is set. This time is crucial for the arrestee. A person has only ten days to request a DMV administrative hearing or their license will be automatically suspended pending the court case. The administrative DMV hearing is separate from the criminal prosecution against the arrestee. There are many defense strategies when a person is accused of DUI. Remember, the prosecution must prove the charge beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury of your peers to convict you of the crime. The right to a jury trial when a person is accused of a criminal offense is one of the most fundamental Constitutional rights of the People. If you have been arrested for a DUI you should seek the counsel of a criminal defense attorney immediately to assist you in scheduling and winning your DMV administrative hearing and preparing a defense strategy for the pending criminal prosecution.
8. Clay, Ward: All states have laws against driving intoxicated, which vary by state. Legal intoxication is defined as a certain level of blood alcohol content (BAC), usually measurable at .10 or .08 percent. States that use the lower .08 BAC to define intoxication are eligible for more federal assistance, and therefore, there is a trend toward lowering the BAC limit. State laws impose penalites on drunk drivers, which range from paying fines to incarceration and loss of vehicle and driving privileges. In general, repeat offenders or offenders with a high BAC level are subject to more severe penalties. Some states have alternative sentencing programs, allowing offenders to obtain treatment and/or operate a vehicle with an ignition locking system. Laws against drunk driving usually apply with equal force to driving under the influence of any intoxicating substance. The yearly estimated costs of driving under the influence (DUI) accidents total many billions of dollars. Within the past decade, nationwide advertising campaigns by citizen activist groups have raised public awareness, and made the public less tolerant of the destruction created by drunk drivers. Public lobbying efforts, along with federal monetary incentives, have led state legislatures to enact new drunk driving laws that impose strict penalties on DUI offenders. Some of the laws passed are designed to punish the offender, and others are intended as remedial. Remedial civil sanctions are not characterized as punishment and can be imposed in addition to criminal penalties without invoking the Double Jeopardy Clause's protection against multiple punishments. The distinction may become blurred, for instance, in the case of administrative license suspensions (ALS). While some argue ALS is punishment, others argue that statutory provisions intending to remove a possibly dangerous driver from the highway serve a remedial purpose of removing the evil of dangerous, intoxicated drivers. ALS statutes have been historically viewed as remedial, because they revoke a privilege voluntarily granted and not a constitutional right.
