If your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) Level is found above 0.08 after various roadside tests or tests done at the police station, then you will be arrested. Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) in Austin is not an easy job for the patrolling police. They were trained for doing their job so they usually have enough proof for stopping a DWI suspect. They are given a set of guidelines required for them to follow. Before a DWI suspect is asked to pull over, someone may have given them a tip or the subject is under observation for at least half an hour. This is when things become real complicated. The driver’s license may be suspended immediately if the DWI suspect refused to undergo chemical testing.

As for challenging the arresting officers’ DWI charges, a competent DWI Jacksonville, Florida attorney can be of big help to you. For example, the police cannot follow you home secretly without informing you. You can tell this to your attorney if in case this happened and he will deal with it. Also, the chemical tests are always accurate and the DWI attorney is aware of all aspects of it to question the court during hearing.

Were you informed of your rights as a citizen when the arrest was happened? Were the tests done in accordance with the Standardized NHTSA guidelines and were the conditions proper? Were your physical disability (if any), age, psychological conditions, weight given due consideration while performing the DWI tests?
