Denver DUI Arrest Scenarios Lawyer

If you have been arrested for DUI in the Denver area, contact the law office of the Denver DUI Lawyer immediately to begin your case.

The state of Colorado has mandated DUI laws that “presume” an offender’s permission to have suspicious behavior investigated. An officer can arrest you without the use of a BAC test if your driving is deemed reckless.

If you are stopped and found to be driving with a BAC of 0.05 you will be charged with Driving While Ability is Impaired (DWAI). This charge is a lesser form of DUI. If your BAC is 0.08 or greater then you will be charged with Driving Under the Influence.

However, an officer must have had probable cause to pull you over in order for a DUI arrest to be legally valid. For example you may have made a bad turn, swerved into another lane, or have a nonfunctioning tail light that would give a police officer a reason to stop you on the road.

The officer will ask to see your driver’s license, registration, and proof of vehicle insurance, while observing you closely and trying to detect any signs of intoxication by asking you a bunch of questions, looking at your eyes, trying to smell your breath, etc. If you appear to be under the influence, you will be asked to step out of the vehicle and submit to either field sobriety tests, a breath test, or both.
