How to Beat a DUI in California
Whether you’ve been arrested for a drug-related DUI or an alcohol-related DUI, you’re probably just beginning to understand what a scary situation you’re in. Many don’t fully understand the consequences of their actions until after they’ve been arrested. By that time, you wish you could take it all back, but you can’t.
One thing you can do after a DUI arrest is get an experienced and knowledgeable attorney on your team. A DUI conviction can turn even simple life matters into insurmountable hurdles. Jobs may be tough to come by, housing may be denied to you, and you could even lose certain rights.
Do you need to learn the secrets of how to beat a DUI in California? Here are some helpful tools to protect you from conviction.
How You Can Help Your Case and Avoid a DUI Conviction
First off, don’t speak to the police about your arrest or charges without a lawyer present. They can use your statements against you.
Also, pay attention. Errors made by the police can be used against them to get your case thrown out. The following are some of the errors your attorney can use to keep you from being convicted of a DUI:
- Mistakes were made during field sobriety testing.
- Police didn’t have probable cause for pulling you over.
- Police didn’t read you your rights.
- An officer coerced you in some way.
Always follow the officer’s directives and don’t argue. Calmly and politely ask to speak with a lawyer.
Gather evidence in your own defense to prove your case. For example, if you weren’t intoxicated, but you work a job where fumes could have gotten onto your clothing, creating a false reading on the breath test, prepare that evidence.
Finally, if you haven’t done so already, contact a qualified California DUI lawyer.
