A driver in Maryland charged with a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) has a few different options when it comes to presenting defenses to these charges.
There are some affirmative defenses that exist in unusual circumstances, even when the evidence otherwise supports the charge. However, it is more common to defend against a drunk driving charge by challenging the police officer's observations and actions regarding what happened prior to the arrest or challenging the integrity of the evidence, such as the accuracy of a breathalyzer test.
You should always consult with a lawyer when you are charged with drunk driving. This is a serious charge in Maryland, with serious consequences.
Some common drunk driving defenses include : improper police stop; improper administration of field sobriety tests; improper administration of breathalyzer tests; improper police actions; etc.
Some affirmative defenses include : necessity; duress; entrapment; mistake of fact; involuntary intoxication; etc.
