Driving a car is one of the most important privileges that an Oregon resident has. By driving, people can open up an entire world to themselves. They are able to get to work, recreational activities, to school and more. Without the use of a car, people are extremely limited to where they can go and what they can do.
Oregon laws take driving very seriously, however. In many situations, people can lose their right to drive within the state. One major reason people lose their driver's license is by being convicted of driving under the influence. A DUI can result in many serious consequences.
However, as this blog has explained in the past, it is possible to lose your driver's license when convicted of driving under the influence of illegal drugs. Unlike alcohol, though, it is harder for police to quantify a person's drug use prior to driving. It is therefore easier to be falsely convicted on driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII) charges.
In these cases, an attorney can to help to show that a person was not intoxicated while driving. Attorneys can ensure that police officers follow all necessary rules of evidence so that a person is not falsely convicted.
Our law firm has worked hard to defend those accused of DUII for many years. Our attorneys understand that mistakes happen, but that they should not ruin the course of a person's life. We work to make sure that people's rights are protected and we introduce evidence to help disprove the prosecution's case.
People should not let false accusations result in the loss of their driver's license. There are legal steps that can be taken to protect a person's right to drive. For more information on DUII, and on how our firm can help those accused of driving under the influence of intoxicants, please see our drunk driving webpage.
