The Los Angeles DUI Lawyer Pros know how quickly your life can be turned upside down after being arrested and charged with DUI. In fact, your story may be similar to those of clients we’ve helped. Your story may have started something like this…you were pulled over by the police and performed some type of field sobriety test. If the police officer that pulled you over felt you failed the initial test (or tests), you were given a breathalyzer test. If you were under the age of 21 and your blood showed any percentage of alcohol in your system, you were arrested for DUI. If you were over the age of 21 and your BAC was .08 or higher, you were arrested for DUI. Sound familiar?

Maybe you refused to take a field sobriety test after being pulled over and were taken to the police station? At the police station, you provided a urine sample or had your blood drawn. If you were under the age of 21 and either a urine or blood sample showed alcohol in your system, you were arrested. If you were over the age of 21 and a blood or urine sample showed a BAC of .08 or higher, you were arrested for driving under the influence.

Did you know that refusing to take any tests – field sobriety, breathalyzer, urine or blood – could result in a DUI conviction? Under California’s “implied consent” law, if the arresting officer has probable cause to believe a driver was operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the driver must consent to a chemical test (e.g. breathalyzer, blood or urine). According to implied consent law, the chemical test must be given at the time of the arrest and the driver should be given the choice between a breath and blood test. If neither a breath nor blood test is available, the driver must provide a urine sample. If the driver has a medical condition that prevents him or her from providing a blood sample, a urine sample must be taken. As mentioned above, refusing to take any tests results in automatic arrest and mandatory license suspension of one year.

Although many people believe that refusal to take a chemical test will only result in a license suspension, it is likely refusing any (or all) tests will result in a conviction. Since a refusal to participate in a chemical test is seen as an admission of guilt, prosecutors typically pursue a conviction.

  Okay, so you're probably wondering what exactly constitutes operating a motor vehicle? Californian DUI laws specify driving a motor vehicle as sitting in the driver seat of your vehicle, keys in the ignition, the engine and headlights turned on. Now your next question is probably what constitutes driving under the influence if your alcohol concentration in the blood was below the legal limit, which is .08? The prosecuting attorney must prove that your driving capability was impaired while you were driving, including swerving, speeding, getting into a collision or other negligent behavior, in which case you could be charged with DUI, even if you had less than .08 per cent of alcohol content in your blood at the time of your arrest.
