Understanding DWI Laws in North Carolina
North Carolina's DWI laws are intricate, featuring a tiered system of five sentencing levels. A Level One charge is the most severe and comes with harsher penalties. The level at which a DUI is charged is heavily dependent on the circumstances of the case, including both aggravating and mitigating factors.
Factors potentially aggravating your charges include:
- Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of .15 or higher
- Causing serious injury
- Driving with a minor in the vehicle
- Operating a vehicle with a suspended license due to a previous DWI
Mitigating factors that may influence your DUI case include:
- Safe driving record with no prior traffic offenses
- Voluntary participation in a substance abuse assessment and compliance with recommended education or treatment
- Driving under the influence due to a legitimate prescription
- Impairment caused by a medical condition rather than alcohol or prohibited substances
As your dedicated Greensboro DUI defense team, we are ready to navigate these legal intricacies to build a robust defense for your case.
DUI Defenses That Can Make a Difference
The road to justice isn't straightforward, especially with DUI charges. Prosecutors have the burden of proving every element of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt, but that doesn't mean the justice system is perfect. There are many instances where the circumstances of a case are manipulated, and innocent people are convicted. Our Greensboro DUI defense lawyers are here to expose flaws and doubts within the prosecutor's arguments.
Possible defenses to DUI charges can include:
- Chemical Testing Procedures: Errors in administration, maintenance, calibration, or chain of custody can invalidate test results.
- Medical Conditions: Certain medical issues can skew BAC readings, leading to wrongful accusations.
- Sobriety Testing Methodology: We may be able to challenge the subjective nature and accuracy of field sobriety tests.
- Probable Cause for Arrest: Was the arrest warranted? We'll investigate if proper procedures were followed.
- Miranda Rights Compliance: Failure to communicate these rights can affect the admissibility of evidence.
- Factual Innocence: Without chemical test validation, an officer's testimony on impairment remains subjective.
Your Rights Regarding Field Sobriety Tests in North Carolina
In North Carolina, you should be aware that while you are lawfully required to submit to a chemical test under the state's implied consent law, you are not legally obligated to comply with field sobriety tests. These tests are designed to provide probable cause for an arrest but are widely considered problematic due to their subjective nature and potential for inaccuracies.
Factors that may impact field sobriety test results include:
- Nervousness
- Fatigue
- Physical conditions
- Weather conditions
- The footwear you have on
If you're pulled over on suspicion of a DUI in Greensboro, remember that politely declining to take field sobriety tests cannot result in direct legal penalties like an automatic license suspension, which can occur if you refuse a chemical test. Additionally, you have the right to contact a lawyer before making any decisions that could impact your case.
