Drunk driving charges and arrests are treated very seriously in Howard County and throughout the State of Maryland by local, state and Federal law enforcement officials, the courts and the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA). DUI and DWI convictions are not just traffic offenses as many people mistakenly believe. DUIs and DWIs are treated as criminal offenses by the entire judicial system. Further, drunk driving laws in Maryland can be complex and complicated. You need a competent and experienced defense attorney to represent you when confronted with these serious charges --- which can adversely affect you, both personally and professionally, for the rest of your life.
Throughout the United States, various law enforcement agencies rely principally upon 5 tests to charge and arrest people for drunk driving ( e.g., DUI and DWI) : (1) Field Sobriety Tests ("FSTs"),
(2) Breath tests ("Breathalyzers"), (3) Blood tests, (4) Urine analysis tests, and (5) Saliva tests. If you and your attorney can successfully challenge the accuracy of these tests, the tests results may be deemed inadmissible at your trial. Some of your challenges could be:
1. Failure by the police officer to provide you with necessary warnings or information., such as the legal consequences of you refusing to take the test, etc.
2. Improper administration of the breath test and/or other tests to you; including improper techniques, lack of proper calibration of the breath test device, etc.
3. Challenging the accuracy of the results of the breath test and other tests; including improper conditions for administering the test.
4. Consumption of food and/or medication; which can adversely affect the results of the test for the driver.
5. Improper timing of the breath test. It takes about 45 minutes to three hours for alcohol to become fully absorbed into the body. This means that if the driver just had "one for the road", he or she may not be legally impaired while driving, even if a chemical test administered later shows A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) over the legal limit. This defense is called "improper testing during the absorption phase."
