Understanding DWI/DUI Criminal Cases
Note that the details below are for DWI/DUI Criminal Cases in New York State. Other states may have different laws regarding the amount of alcohol or other intoxicants consumed.
DUI Cases
DUI stands for “driving under the influence,” and it can include a driver’s impairment from various substances. Thus, alcohol or other mind-influencing substances, such as prescription drugs (hydrocodone or oxycodone), marijuana, or other hard drugs.
DWI Cases
DWI stands for “driving while intoxicated,” and it’s usually used for drivers who have consumed alcohol before driving. The police will conduct a quick test to determine the alcohol content in your blood.
Aggravated DWI
You can also be charged with an aggravated DWI case if your BAC is 0.18% or more. The penalties for this case can be much more severe than a typical DWI case, so you should hire DWI/DUI attorneys in Suffolk County to help you fight your case.
DWAI Cases
DWAI, “driving while ability impaired,” is typically less severe than a DWI case because the driver must have a BAC level between 0.050% and 0.079%. Moreover, they must exhibit impairment by alcohol and/or drugs “to any extent.” A DWAI can have more significant penalties than a DWI if there is a combination of alcohol and drugs found in the driver’s system.
Criminal Charges Can Affect Your Life
Misdemeanor and felony charges are indelible, meaning they will always stay on your permanent criminal record. Such records can reduce your opportunities for seeking employment, acquiring a home, getting car insurance, and more. Thus, it’s critical that you do not commit such crimes.
You should note that under CPL 160.59, you may be able to apply for conviction sealing after a decade since your conviction. Speak to your attorney if that is possible in your case because it can occur in unique circumstances.
