What does defer or detain for analysis mean and what is the legal limit?

Hudson Thomas Bair
Answered by attorney Hudson Thomas Bair (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Kapsack & Bair, LLP
You should discuss this with your attorney, he/she can explain what is happening in your specific case. That being said, most crime labs only conduct "presumptive" analysis which means that your blood offered values that were presumptive of meth use. Your attorney has asked for a more specific value, sometimes legal drugs will provide values when testing for illicit drugs is performed. There is no "legal" limit for an illegal drug AND even legally prescribed dosages, taken in compliance with the prescription can result in DUI charges, Ambian is drug that has caused many DUI arrests, prosecutions and (unfortunately) convictions for unsuspecting (otherwise law abiding) citizens.

Will I be in some sort of trouble because it was my car?

Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
If you were not cited, then you most likely have nothing to worry about. Your friend on the other could be looking at some possible jail time for driving without a license and could be deported for overstaying her visa.

Is there a harsher DUI punishment if there's a passenger?

Anthony O. Van Johnson
Answered by attorney Anthony O. Van Johnson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Anthony Overton Van Johnson Associates, P.C.
No, the punishment will not be greater simply because there was a passenger in the vehicle. If someone, on the other hand, was injured, then you would be facing a felony charge. Merely having a passenger in the car is not an issue unless the passenger was a minor child. In that case, you would be facing "child endangerment" charges.
