Michigan Drinking and Driving Defense

In any Michigan DUI or OWI case, the prosecutor must prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. You do not have to prove your innocence.

To convict you of Operating While Intoxicated (OWI), the prosecution must prove:

You were operating a motor vehicle
At the time of operation, you had a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08 or higher, or you were under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance
You were operating the vehicle on a public road or a place open to the public

If even one of these elements is not proven, you must be found Not Guilty.

For example:

If you were not the driver, you cannot be convicted
If your BAC was below 0.08, you may not be guilty of OWI
If you were not on a public roadway, the charge may not apply

Challenging a Michigan DUI Charge

In addition to proving the elements of the offense, the prosecution must also show that:

You were legally stopped by police
You were lawfully arrested
The breath or blood test was administered properly

If law enforcement violated your rights at any stage—whether during the traffic stop, arrest, or chemical testing—the case against you can be weakened or even dismissed.

These technical defenses are critical in Michigan DUI defense cases, and they often make the difference between a conviction and a dismissal.
