Being pulled over is a stressful occurrence no matter the situation, but when you are a suspect of being under the influence while driving then it becomes even more frightening. However, just because you have had a few drinks does not mean you are automatically guilty of driving under the influence, there is a legal limit to consider and there are procedures the arresting officer must follow.

If you have been charged with driving under the influence (DUI)/driving while ability impaired (DWAI) in the state of Colorado you will need an aggressive DUI attorney to protect your rights.

DUI/DWAI Penalties

The legal limit for being intoxicated while operating a motor vehicle is .08%, depending on your weight class this means you may be able to have more or less to drink before no longer being able to operate a vehicle. In addition, when being pulled over the officer must have a reasonable suspicion that you are breaking the law before pulling you over and must follow a strict procedure if he suspects you are intoxicated above the legal limit.

Regardless, it is important to note that a DUI/DWAI is a serious criminal offense that often comes with a license suspension, jail time, and a hefty fine. The penalties could even be harsher if there was a fatality, property damage, or if this was not your first offense.
