What is a DUI (Driving Under the Influence)?
DUI is most often a misdemeanor offense in California and involves a driver operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance. To be considered "under the influence" under California drunk driving law, the driver must have a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or greater or must have physical/mental abilities that are impaired due to alcohol and/or drugs. To prove that a driver was operating a motor vehicle under the influence, law enforcement and the District Attorney will use performance on field sobriety tests and the outcome of a breathalyzer test or blood test that was administered after the driver's arrest.

Anatomy of an Orange County DUI Arrest
Although specific circumstances will vary on a case by case basis, a DUI arrest in Orange County may proceed as follows:
A police officer patrolling the roads notices a driver who is driving erratically or who is violating a traffic law. The driver may be swerving, driving too slowly, speeding, driving recklessly or otherwise displaying behavior which may indicate intoxication or a person driving under the influence of drugs. The officer will pull the driver over to the side of the road. Upon pulling over the driver, the officer will ask to see license and registration information. At this time, the officer may also look for outward signs that indicate a driver may be DUI, such as bloodshot eyes or slurred speech. The officer may also ask the driver if he or she has been drinking, where he or she is going, etc. Depending on behavior observed at the initial police stop, the officer may ask the driver to step outside of the vehicle to perform field sobriety tests. These are used to gauge a driver's mental and physical abilities and may include the Walk and Turn, One Leg Stand or Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus. The driver's performance on field sobriety tests as well as what he or she says or does will typically determine whether the police officer makes an arrest for DUI. After an arrest is when Orange County law enforcement may ask a driver to submit to a breath test or blood test in order to determine his or her blood alcohol concentration, and criminal charges will follow.
