DUI Penalties
We have all seen the popular campaigns against drunk driving. If you have been arrested for an El Cajon DUI, you’ll face prosecutors who are highly experienced in DUI cases and motivated to secure a conviction against you. Penalties for an El Cajon DUI conviction are tough and greatly impact your life. The El Cajon DUI Crew attorneys want you to know that an arrest doesn’t necessarily have to mean a conviction. An experienced El Cajon DUI defense attorney can explain DUI defenses that can get a favorable outcome of your case.
Even if a conviction is a first time DUI in the state of California, it may result in up to 1 year in jail, with even further time added if there was a child under the age of 16 was in the car at the time. Also, expensive fines, a suspension of your license for 1 year, vehicle registration suspension and community service are all penalties that may be possible for a first time DUI conviction. Multiple DUI convictions can potentially result in years in prison and a permanent revocation of your driver’s license. In certain situations, there can be a requirement of fines of up to $25,000.
Can a DUI charge be defended?
Many defenses can be used to fight a DUI case and get charges reduced or even dropped. Sometimes it can be proven that the police stopping you had no legal reason to even pull you over. Illegal search and seizure can make evidence being used against you disregarded at your trial. Tests that are performed to conclude your BAC level, or to prove that your ability to operate a motor vehicle was somehow impaired, can have flaws. These tests may have been administered the wrong way or had used faulty equipment.
