| San Diego DUI Laws and Consequences |
| Posted By San Diego DUI Defense Lawyer |
|
The state of California has two types of statues that are used to determine how an individual will and can be charged for a
DUI. They are as follows:
The first statute compares the individual who is driving under the influence with that of a sober individual. This regulation concludes whether or not the accused individual is more or less impaired that a sober person would be in that situation. This decision is made by the officer who pulls a person over for
driving under the influence and it has nothing to do with blood alcohol content.
The second statute deals with the blood alcohol content or BAC. in San Diego and all over the state of California an individuals blood alcohol level must be less than a .08%. A driver can be arrested for exceeding this limit regardless of their capability to operate a vehicle and / or pass
field sobriety tests.
If you have been charged with a DUI you have the right to a fair trial. You should always be informed of your rights! Please contact our
