How to Beat DUI Charges

A DUI (driving under the influence) is a critical driving violation that not only may result in you losing your license (and adds points) but also your auto insurance rate increasing. If you are blamed of driving under the influence, you will need to provide evidence what the police officer did is not legal, and therefore your charges should be thrown out.

Step 1: Obtain the police tape from the police officer's vehicle the night you got the DUI. This is public domain and you may ask for the information from the police station. View the tape and compare the officer's statements against what happened on the tape.

Step 2:  Prove the officer unjustly stopped you. If the police officer did not have any legal reason to stop you, then the DUI never should have been given and the case is dropped. Veering inside your own lane is not illegal.

Step 3: Bring up the actually fact that the police office never took the time to read you your Miranda rights. Even though this doesn't always work, if you are not read your own rights the case may be thrown out.

Step 4: Compare both the breathalyzer tests you took both on the scene and at the police station. The legal limit in most States is .08. Nevertheless, blood alcohol continues to rise over the better part of an hour or two, so if you blew a .08 at the police station, chances are the breathalyzer you took on the scene confirms that you were under the legal limit at the time you were driving.
