DUI – Drunk Driving Lawyer in Chatham County Georgia
There are two main problems with the existing DUI laws. The blood alcohol content is hardly ever the same at the police station as it was in the car. The second problem is the burden of proof. The prosecution generally has the burden of proof. In other words, a suspect is presumed innocent unless it can be proven otherwise beyond a reasonable doubt. But when in comes to the question of how to interpret chemical test results in DUI cases, the burden of proof falls on the defense. If you were arrested for drunk driving and your test result registered above the legal limit, it is up to you to prove that the results are inaccurate, as they so often are.
DUI law is markedly different from many other areas of law. Some even say that there is a DUI exception to the Constitution. Most of the time, a police officer must have probable cause” before pulling you over. In layman’s terms, the probable cause requirement means that an officer must have some concrete reason to believe that a person is breaking the law. While this is always true if a single officer pulls you over on the road, consider the fact that, with sobriety checkpoints, a police officer needs nothing more than for you to drive through it.
