You remember the flashing blue lights in your mirror .
. . the rush of adrenalin . . . the rising sense of panic
as you realized the police officer suspected YOU of drunk
driving. Perhaps you sensed then how this might drastically
affect your life.
Washington State has the
nation's toughest DUI laws. Penalties for this gross misdemeanor
can be more severe than for some felonies. Confinement
is mandatory. Jail or the loss of your license could cost
you your job. Your finances may be jeopardized by expensive
fines, insurance, ignition interlock devices and alcohol
treatment programs.
Public perception of DUI
is increasingly negative. In response, law enforcement
throws an ever-widening net hoping to catch more offenders.
Unfortunately, these aggressive enforcement tactics capture
innocent drivers forcing them to defend against these
serious charges.
