DUI is something that the law takes extremely seriously, and being charged can have far-reaching consequences. This is why if you are charged with DUI, you need to act quickly. In the state of Florida, you have 10 days to initiate your legal defense; this is how long you have to appeal the automatic license suspension that accompanies an arrest for DUI. This is why you need to hire a Ft. Lauderdale criminal defense attorney as soon as possible; she can help ensure that your rights are upheld and give you a second chance.
However, if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is above .15% and/or if this was not your first offense, the penalties could be significantly higher.
If you are pulled over by a law enforcement official on suspicion of DUI and are asked to take a breathalyzer test, you may do one of two things: Take the test, and if your BAC is at or above the legal limit of 0.08% have your license suspended for 6 months, or refuse to take the test and your license will be suspended for a year. It is also important to remember that any refusal to take breath or urine tests is admissible evidence in any criminal case against you.
