The DUI Arrest
An officer when conducting a traffic stop can ask drivers to submit to a field sobriety test, based on reasonable suspicions of DUI. These suspicions include that the driver was swerving the car relentlessly, he/she was driving too fast or too slow, or the driver failed to observe a stop sign. There are several other reasons that a police officer can cite as being a valid reason to pull you over and evaluate you for driving while intoxicated. A skilled OC DUI defense attorney may be able to expose an arresting officer’s actions as being unlawful. Under these circumstances, you may be able to have the evidence obtained during your arrest thrown out.
Standard Field Sobriety Tests Include:
- The One Leg Stand
- The Horizontal Gaze
- The Walk and Turn
Breathalyzer or Chemical Testing:
After a failed sobriety test, the officer most likely moved on to a chemical test (involving blood, urine or breath testing) – for measurements of blood alcohol toxicity.
Failure to submit to chemical testing results in an automatic suspension of your driver’s license. However, a lawyer can submit a request for independent chemical testing at another facility besides the county jail, due to numerous incidences of equipment malfunctioning.
Fines and Penalties for DUI:
If found guilty, DUI offenders can face the following penalties
- Up to six months in jail
- Fines of up to $1,000
- Informal probation between 3-5 years
- DUI school
- License suspension of up to 6 months
