Caroline County DUI Penalties
A DUI is a criminal offense. If you have been charged with a DUI, a lawyer can explain the consequences you face. Some of these criminal penalties include:
• Substantial fines
• Points on your driving record
• Possible revocation or suspension of your driving privileges
• Jail time
Every DUI case is different depending on the facts including BAC and whether there was an accident. However, it is important to note that each subsequent DUI carries harsher penalties.
Caroline County DUI Traffic Stop
An experienced Caroline County DUI attorney will be familiar with the circumstances that led to your charge. Most likely, you were pulled over for a routine traffic stop for speeding or for a broken headlight. While the officer was talking to you, he may have noticed the smell of alcohol, bloodshot eyes, or impaired motor skills. These factors gave the officer reason to suspect you have been drinking.
During the traffic stop, you are not required to divulge the events of your night. You are only required to give the officer your name and identification. You can politely invoke your right to remain silent, until speaking with a Caroline County DUI lawyer.
If you were arrested for a DUI, your case will likely be heard before a judge at the Multi-Service Center, located at 207 S. Third Street in Denton, Maryland. When you appear in court, a Caroline County DUI attorney can be your advocate.
