We all know that driving under the influence (DUI) is against the law. However, most drivers do not realize the severity of the offense until they are actually facing charges. If you were recently arrested in Oklahoma, the best thing you can do to avoid the penalties that go along with a drunk driving conviction is hire a skilled DUI lawyer to represent your case in court.
How Oklahoma’s DUI Laws Apply To Your Case
When it comes to DUI, the laws are pretty clear: if you have a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08% or higher while you are behind the wheel, you can expect to be arrested and charged with drunk driving—even if you show no signs of intoxication. Since officers rely on breathalyzers and other chemical testing methods to determine BAC, your chemical test results are a good place to start in building your defense.
Possible Defense Strategies
Of course, your chemical test results are not the only thing you will need to look at in order to determine the best defense strategy for your case. You will also want to review the officer’s reasons for stopping you, as well as for suspecting you of DUI, to ensure that enough probable cause exists to warrant the charges against you. If you can dispute the officer’s reasons for pulling you over and/or suspecting that you were impaired, your charges could potentially be dismissed in court—even if your chemical test results were proven to be accurate.
