DUI Arrest

DUI Arrest refers to the apprehension of an individual by law enforcement on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. DUI stands for “Driving Under the Influence,” which is a criminal offense that involves operating a motor vehicle while impaired by substances that affect a person’s cognitive and motor skills, such as alcohol, prescription medications, or illegal drugs. An arrest for DUI typically occurs after a police officer observes erratic driving behavior, conducts a traffic stop, and subsequently administers field sobriety tests or breathalyzer tests to determine the driver’s level of impairment. Consequences of a DUI arrest can include fines, license suspension, mandatory alcohol education programs, and potential imprisonment, depending on the severity of the offense and the jurisdiction’s laws.
