Can you be convicted of DUI if the results of a blood or urine test are positive for a controlled substance that you are not prescribed, even if the drug does not impair your ability to drive?
Whether to refuse the breath test in a DUI case and, if so, how to refuse is one of the most frequent topics that I am questioned about. This article addresses this important issue.
Once again, the Georgia Governor's Office of Highway Safety has declared December to be a month of “Zero Tolerance.” This year now marks the third consecutive Christmas season thatGeorgia has mobilized literally thousands of Georgia DUI officers across the state under the new national enforcement campaign called “Over The Limit. Under Arrest.”In Georgia, the DUI crackdown is called Operation Zero Tolerance.
Georgia law certainly does not prohibit a person over the age of 21 from consuming alcohol and driving, but you would never know that if you are in Georgia this holiday season. Under Operation Zero Tolerance, you can count on being arrested for DUI if you are stopped after you consumed any amount of alcohol. This overly aggressive enforcement of Georgia DUI laws will continue at least from December 19, 2008 through January 4, 2009.If you are charged with DUI in Georgia this Holiday Season, you must recognize that, although Georgia law enforcement will continue to lower their standards in order to prosecute people for DUI, you do not have to let a DUI charge turn into a DUI conviction. You can count on our office to defend you against this frequent abuse of Georgia DUI law by law enforcement.Don’t become another DUI statistic!CONTACT US TODAY FOR A FREE CONSULTATION(678) 314-9443
