Plymouth OWI Lawyer
If you have been arrested for drinking and driving in Plymouth then you will probably be formally charged with Operating While Intoxicated or OWI. OWI is the most common drinking and driving charge at the Plymouth 35th District Court.
OWI can be charged when a person’s blood alcohol level is .08 grams per 100 milliliters or higher. (.08 is illegal. Many people believe that .08 is legal but it is not .079 is the highest blood alcohol level you can have and still legally drive).
Plymouth Police take drinking and driving charges very seriously, in fact, the Plymouth Police would rather have someone found not guilty at trial then admit that they made a mistake when arresting someone.
The penalty for OWI in Plymouth is up to two years on probation, up to 93 days in the county jail, random alcohol and drug testing, drug and alcohol education, drug and alcohol therapy, 6 points added to your driving record $1,500.00 in driver responsibility, a fine of $500 plus mandatory state costs, probation oversight fees, crime victim’s rights fee, and the cost of probation and arrest.
For many, the worst penalty for operating while intoxicated is the one-month license suspension where you aren’t allowed to drive at all for any reason whatsoever. After the one-month driver suspension can drive but on restricted driving privileges for the next five months.
In order to prove your guilt, the Plymouth prosecuting attorney must be able to prove that you were driving an automobile on a public roadway or an area generally accessible to the public, with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher.
When you are stopped by the Plymouth police for suspicion of drinking and driving they are going to ask you questions like, how much have you had to drink tonight? Or they will outright tell you that they can smell alcohol on your breath.
Police will then order you out of your car and order you to preform field sobriety tests. NHTSA has mandated three tests for officers to use that they can use a probable cause for drinking and driving.
The field sobriety tests are the walk and turn, one leg stand, and horizontal gaze nystagmus. It is also common for officers to ask people to count from one number to another, or recite the alphabet.
With the exception of the horizontal gaze nystagmus, the other tests are designed to divide the person’s attention, or as they call them, divided attention task. The field sobriety tests make the person do two things at the same time such as balancing while counting.
If police incorrectly judge a field sobriety test, or a person does the test correctly and is arrested anyway then it is a violation under the 4th amendment for illegal search and seizure. The remedy for an illegal arrest is that any evidence gained after, such as the breath test or blood draw must be suppressed. If the police cannot show the jury the breath test or blood test result then they cannot go forward with the charge of operating while intoxicated at trial.
