Although getting involved in a DUI usually starts with an
officer suspecting (within reason) that someone has been drinking before
driving, and only progresses into a DUI arrest when the officer has come to
believe that the driver’s driving is affected by being impaired by alcohol, it
should be noted that an arrest doesn’t always have to end in a conviction.
DUI Charges and Over 80 have to be proven beyond reasonable
doubt before someone can be convicted. This means that anyone arrested for the
said charges should be properly investigated and the findings recorded to prove
that they are indeed truly guilty of the charges against them.
Things Can Get Tricky
There will be times when a person can get arrested for a DUI
because of suspicion or circumstantial evidence. For example, if a person has
been observed to be slurring his speech, walking unsteadily, driving in a weird
or suspicious way, or have liquor in the vehicle. All of these details can
arouse suspicion, but it should be noted that they do not prove that someone is
indeed intoxicated while driving. This is where technicalities come in and why
the arresting officer will have to get the arrested individual to give a breath
sample at the station to determine their blood alcohol level. However, even a recorded
blood alcohol level can be countered with technicalities which a DUI lawyer can
come up with as part of the case’s defence.
Lawyer Up
Whether it is your first time to be charged with a DUI or not, your first step should be to
get your case legally sorted out with the help of a DUI lawyer. If one or a few
details leading to one’s arrest for a DUI or a charge of Over 80 can be
utilized to disprove that the arrested individual is indeed guilty, the charges
will have to be dropped and the person will be acquitted.
Getting arrested for a DUI doesn’t have to end with a
conviction for a DUI. A seasoned DUI lawyer can help you get acquitted. For
