One of the most common crimes in America today is a DUI charge (Driving Under The Influence.) A DUI offense is also one of the few crimes which an individual can be arrested based upon the subjective intuition of a law enforcement officer. The decision to arrest and charge you with a DUI may be determined based upon the "impression" the law enforcement has following the administration of field sobriety tests, which are designed to make almost anyone fail.

A DUI is a criminal offense which is a serious matter, and if there is a conviction, may have a long-lasting negative impact upon your life. While typically associated with drinking and driving, a DUI can be charged for operating a vehicle while being under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, prescription drugs, any controlled substances, or any over the counter items which may impair your ability to safely operate a vehicle.

An individual may also be charge with a criminal DUI offense while operating an automobile, motorcycle, truck, moped, scooter, riding lawnmower, golf cart, or even while riding a bicycle.
