DUI

DUI is serious. The immediate consequences are difficult, as are the long term consequences. The law related to DUI is continually evolving. As you likely know by now, an individual charged with DUI faces punishment in the form of a license suspension even before going to court. A case is based on physical manifestations that are subject to officer interpretation, and also his training or lack thereof or his bias in how he perceives and narrates in his report the events in front of his eyes. Sometimes there are videos and audio recordings, but not always. Cases will often involve blood chemistry, which is constantly changing as food and alcohol are metabolized. The State will prosecute you based on testing performed on machines that may or may not be operating properly and are subject to margins of errors regardless. All in all, a DUI case is a combination of facts, law, science, perception and prejudice.
