Frequently Asked DUI Questions
What are the penalties for a first-time DUI?
A first-time Kent County DUI is a misdemeanor offense providing the blood alcohol content (BAC) was between .08% and .10%. First DUIs are punishable by $100 to $400 in fines, from 10 to 60 hours of community service, up to 45 days license suspension, a $500 highway assessment, and possibly drunk driving school.
What type of defenses can be raised in a DUI case?
While the possible defenses are many, some common defenses include: instrument malfunction, illegal police stop, outside environmental factors, your physiological conditions such as GERD, calibration issues, improper storage of your blood sample, blood contamination, untrained technician taking your blood sample, and so much more.
Can I beat the breath test?
People who have been arrested for DUI after failing the breathalyzer test mistakenly believe that they cannot fight their DUI charges. This is a common misconception that is not true. Rhode Island law enforcement use the Intoxilyzer 5000 as the state's predominant breath testing machine; however, the results from the Intoxilyzer 5000 can be challenged by reviewing the machine's maintenance records, police reports and the defendant's test results. When a malfunction has occurred, often these documents can provide clues to inaccuracies which can lead to suppression of test results.
