Over the past week or so on the blog, we’ve been focusing on the most common Arizona DUI defense strategies and what DUI attorneys look for when they take on an Arizona DUI case. Check back here to learn about the Arizona DUI defense strategies we’ve already covered.
A lot of people don’t think hiring an Arizona DUI attorney will help because they feel like there is no defense for them. These people believe they are victim to the system and will get the same punishments and fees whether they have an Arizona DUI attorney or not. In my experience, this is simply not the case and DUI attorneys can make sure that your case isn’t a simple “conviction” number for the State. You have rights that must be protected throughout the entire process and your case, like all other criminal cases, must be proved without reasonable doubt.
There are a number of DUI defense strategies that can work for even the most typical of cases. Today, let’s take a look at the “retrograde” DUI defense. Remember that any one of these Arizona DUI defense strategies may or may not work with your case. Meet with an Arizona DUI Attorney to review the specifics of your case and what defense strategies may apply to you.
Arizona DUI Defenses – Retrograde
Did you know that it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple hours for a person’s body to completely absorb alcohol? Subtractive retrograde is a method to compensate for any alcohol consumed shortly before driving that could show a higher reading at the time of the test than “at the time of driving.” This is because a typical person requires between 30 minutes and hours to completely absorb alcohol.
Other Arizona DUI Defenses Include:
- Lack of actual control.
- No probable cause for arrest.
- No reasonable suspicion to stop.
- Denial of right to counsel.
- Faulty field sobriety tests.
- Denial of independent tests.
- Violation of Miranda warnings.
