A Guide to Search Results for "DUI
Law"
The search term "DUI
law", or "drunk
driving law", is usually used by people who are looking for information
about the laws applying to a criminal charge of
driving under the influence (also known as "DUI", "drunk driving"
or "DWI"). The laws in California
applicable to "drunk
driving" are harsh and extremely complex as to the procedures, evidence,
punishment and administrative
license suspensions; to make matters worse, normal constitutional protections
often do not apply. The offense can consist of driving under the influence
of alcohol or a combination of alcohol and drugs, which can be largely established
with police opinion testimony, or it can consist of driving with a blood-alcohol
concentration of .08% or higher; in most cases, both offenses will be charged. Punishment
involves a labyrinth of statutes, requiring jail, fines, schools, license restrictions/suspensions,
ignition interlock devices, vehicle forfeiture, probation, etc.; some can involve
factual variables triggering so-called "enhancements", which increase
the sentence. Separate from the criminal proceedings, the arrestee has the right
to demand a hearing to contest the administrative suspension of his or her driver's
license.
