How do you get off a DUI?

The key to beating a DUI charge is understanding how the criminal justice system works. When the police charge you with DUI, they have to prove the charge in a court of law. They must prove that you were driving the vehicle while your blood alcohol content was over the legal limit. To determine your blood alcohol limit, they will subject you to a breath test or a blood test. There are certain procedures the police officers have to following when making a DUI stop and when arresting a person for DUI. The DUI check post must follow the requirements laid down by the Supreme Court. In case of a DUI stop, the officer must have reasonable cause to subject you to a DUI test. If the police officer did not follow the procedures or the DUI check post or stop itself was illegal, the charges against you will be dropped. You can also challenge the results on the breath or the blood tests. If you create doubts about the accuracy of the test results, the charges can be dropped.
