Deerfield DWI Lawyer

Were You Impaired?

The state has to prove that whatever drug you took has made it so you couldn’t drive safely. You will be asked to provide the state with a blood or urine sample. A police officer who is trained as a Drug Recognition Evaluator will ask if you will perform more testing once you get back to the police states.

How Much Is In Your System?

One of the problems with this is that the blood or urine sample will only tell if you have taken drugs or smoked marijuana; however, the results will not tell the officer or the court how much of the substance your sill have in your system. There are many drugs that may show up in your system even though you have no effects from them. The drug recognition expert, who has only 144 hours of training, is a bit less qualified than you might have guessed, too. A pharmacologist spends seven or more years to training to determine how drugs affect people.

A Drug Recognition Expert, or DRE, assesses drug intoxication by checking an allegedly impaired driver’s pulse rate, pupil size and blood pressure. He or she will look at your arms to see if you have test needle marks. The observations of the DRE may be used as probable cause for your arrest on DUI charges and as evidence in court.

The problem with this is that many of the conditions the DRE is looking for can also be because of fatigue, injury or illness. The results of urine testing are not known for being highly reliable, either. Therefore, it is important to know that a DUID charge can be successfully fought in court.
