Understanding The Evidence In The DUI Cases

When it comes to driving under the influence of alcohol or illegal substances, most law enforcement authorities will not take the offense lightly. After all, there is a disturbing tendency of people, who drive while being intoxicated to pose a real threat and not only for themselves, but in addition for the people, who surround them. That is why the legal penalties for drunk driving are so severe. If you were accused of driving under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs, you may be obliged to pay expensive fines, will probably lose your driving license, will have to visit special alcohol or drug awareness classes or will even be sentenced to jail.

            

With that said, in order for the prosecution to prove beyond reasonable doubt that you were actually driving while being intoxicated, there will have to be ample evidence against you. Keep in mind – each and every single individual has his basic rights that you could use in order to argue with the prosecution. First of all, you have the right for an attorney.

Why is it so important? Well, it can literally turn the course of the case in your favor.

            

Of course, the prosecution is also going to be using evidence against you. This may include test results from the scene and the result of lab testing (blood alcohol content, field tests and so on), police reports, in which the arresting officer is describing the scene and your behavior, testimonies and witness reports from the scene. These arguments could be very difficult to argue with, but it is not impossible.
