Georgia DUI Defenses
Did you know that if you are arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) in Lawrenceville, you may be able to fight your case your court and avoid many of the penalties that follow a DUI conviction? Indeed, there are numerous Georgia DUI defenses available to help you win your case in criminal court.Like any other criminal offense, a person charged with DUI is presumed innocent until he or she has been proven guilty of the offense. Luckily for the thousands of Georgia drivers who are charged with drinking and driving each year, this is often difficult for the prosecution—and in many cases, even some of the most damaging evidence may not be used against you.
For example, did you know that a police officer must have a reason to stop a driver (such as speeding, running a red light, or violating another criminal law)? As a result, if you were pulled over without reason, all of the subsequent evidence against you may be dismissed due to insufficient cause. Keep in mind that driving late at night or in certain neighborhoods are not valid reasons for an officer to stop a vehicle.
Assuming the officer has established a reason for stopping you, he or she must then establish probable cause for suspecting you were under the influence of alcohol—such as noticing an open container of alcohol in your vehicle or smelling alcohol on your breath, for example.
Even if the officer can prove both of the above requirements, you may still be able to challenge your arrest. Your breathalyzer test results, for instance, may be inaccurate if the testing device was not maintained properly or the officer did not receive proper training. In addition, your field sobriety test results may also be challenged due to the subjective nature of the tests.
