You can be charged with a per se DUI if your blood alcohol content is .08% or higher, and you can also be charged with a DUI for driving while impaired by alcohol. There can be significant consequences for a DUI conviction. These may include incarceration, hefty fines, the loss of a driver’s license, and the stigma of a criminal record. However, there may be arguments that a criminal defense attorney in Riverside County can raise against DUI charges. For example, an officer who pulls you over for a reasonable suspicion of criminal wrongdoing is required to honor your Fourth Amendment right to be free from an unreasonable search or seizure. If they do not, any evidence obtained in the unreasonable search or seizure can be subject to a motion to suppress.
