Brownstown, MI DUI and OWI Law Firms & Lawyers

That is up to the police to decide at the time. If you already got cited or arrested, you know the answer. If you mean, can you be convicted, that will be determined in court. When charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a test, search or statement be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? No amount of free 'tips and hints' from here or elsewhere are going to effectively help in a legal defense. If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, programs, or other decent outcome through motions, plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate. A little free advice: If arrested for DUI, whether alcohol or drugs, then upon release from jail or booking, the defendant is given documents that include a notice that he has only ten days to file a request with DMV for a hearing on an appeal of the automatic suspension of license imposed by DMV upon arrest. That is separate and runs consecutively with any suspension that may be imposed by DMV or the court upon conviction. Contact DMV and do so timely if you think you have grounds for appeal, then appear at the scheduled DMV appeal hearing to present your supporting evidence and witness testimony. If you don't know how to do these things effectively, then hire an attorney that does.

With these facts, you should hire a lawyer to properly represent you in court and determine what defenses you have. If your BAC was zero, there may be valid issues depending on other factors.

I think you answered your own question when you concluded by saying that you don't want this to mess up your future. If you plead guilty, it will mess up your future. They don't want to offer a deal,, so what other choice do you have but to fight the case. It is going to be tough, but you can do no worse than the alternative (pleading guilty).
