DUI & Drug Crimes

DUI

California law makes it illegal to operate a motor vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle, or boat) while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. Additionally, the state of California makes it illegal for a person to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or higher. When a person violates these laws, he/she can be charged with driving under the influence (DUI).

Driving under the influence is a serious crime, but all too often, people take DUI charges lightly. A DUI conviction can result in jail time, fines, a driver’s license suspense, mandatory DUI school, probation, the loss of a job and even a professional licese.
