Can I get a DUI ticket if no field test or toxicology test were given?

Answered by attorney Troy T Gorman (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Gorman Law Group, PC
There are essentially 3 ways to be charged with "DUI". 1. If you are under the age of 21 and driving, any amount of alcohol is illegal; 2. If you are "visibly" impaired in the opinion of the officer (erratic driving, stumbling, slurring); 3. A blood test or breath test show that you are over the limit. Assuming you were over the age of 21, if the officer smelled alcohol on you and saw the beer cans in your care, it might be reasonable for him to assume that you were drunk at the time of the accident. You might also want to check your medical records to make sure that a blood sample was not taken while you were at the hospital. If they did not have a blood sample or do a breath test, you could have a very good defense to the charge. Having an accident does not mean you were drunk, nor does having an empty beer can in your vehicle. They still have to prove their case, and it appears to me that they are missing the evidence necessary to do so.

Should I plead not guilty to a DUI?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
Always plead not guilty at your first court appearance, otherwise you forfeit your ability to negotiate with the prosecutor. You also need to retain an experienced DUI attorney in your area to thoroughly review your case for any deficiencies that could get the charges reduced or dismissed. A good DUI attorney will evaluate the stop, get any cruiser cam and lapel mics of the stop, evaluate any field sobriety tests to make sure they were done properly, request certifications for the officers conducting the field sobriety tests and the chemical test operator, as well as the maintenance logs for the chemical test machine. There are a lot of variables that go into a DUI and a lot is at stake including possible jail, loss of license, driver's responsibility fees, higher insurance premiums and other collateral consequences that could affect your career and schooling. Consult with an experienced DUI attorney right away.

Can I be charged with a DUI if am not in the car where the car was park?

Answered by attorney Cynthia Russell Henley (Unclaimed Profile)

You can be charged the question is whether a jury would believe beyond a reasonable doubt that you were operating a motor vehicle. Sounds like a stretch.
