What takes place if I decline a DUI breath test?

Attorney Franks: It triggers a chain of events that will bring about suspension of your vehicle drivers license for 120 days. Division of Public Safety will certainly send out a letter to the address on your drivers license within the very first month. Then you have ten days to file a request for a breath test rejection hearing to establish whether or not you in fact rejected a breath examination.

Can I be forced to take a test?

Lawyer Franks: You can not be required to take an examination on a conventional pull over. You can if there's an accident and someones injured as they obtain a warrant to have your blood taken. Yet normally if you were drawn over for a random stop like changing lanes incorrectly they will certainly usually offer you a mobile breath test. You can refuse it and if the officer decides to take it further they'll take you to the station. Then they will ask you again to take a breath test on the large Intoxilyzer device. If you refuse the test at that time after that you have officially refused the test. You have the option to reject.

Will it harm my situation?

Lawyer Franks: Not necessarily. Under particular conditions it may aid your situation because of statutory DUI regulations. If you blow over a. 08 blood alcohol amount after that you are lawfully intoxicated. The police officer has specific procedures they need to follow and when someone registers.08 or above then as a DUI lawyer I begin exploring whether or not the procedures were appropriately adhered to. If a person does not take the breath examination after that they cant just state it was a statutory DUI. They need to show a common law DUI as well as show that you were bodily screwed-up while driving your car. One of the most usual means of doing that is the field sobriety examination on the side of the road. Its the walk the line hold one leg up as well as touch your nose. Those examinations are what they'll change to which can give you a more powerful court case in some circumstances.

Could I in theory avoid a sentence by not submitting to a breath examination?

Attorney Franks: In theory yes you can get out of a conviction by not taking the breath examination. Yet that's only since the officer needs to prove impairment by using something aside from the breath test. If they can not show it by some other method after that you have an excellent chance of being found not guilty because DUIs carry the very same burden of proof which is past a reasonable uncertainty. Its the governments burden to confirm beyond a reasonable uncertainty that you were operating a vehicle while impaired.

What are the indictments?

Lawyer Franks: There's DUI refusal which indicates you rejected to take the examination. DUI first infraction indicates this is your first offense. Then there's DUI second offense which means this is your 2nd DUI within a five-year amount of time. Also there's DUI 3rd infraction which indicates this is your third DUI or even more in a five-year amount of time. Finally you have an aggravated DUI which is a felony. Aggravated DUI means you injured someone in an accident and you were consuming over the legal restrictions.
