TIPS
DUI Jurisdictions :
Many jurisdictions require more serious penalties (such as jail time, larger fines, longer DUI program, the installation of ignition interlock devices) in cases where the driver's BAC is over 0.20, or 0.15 in some places. These additional sanctions are an attempt to deter and punish the operation of a vehicle at extremely high BAC levels and the concomitant danger posed to the safety of persons and property by heavily impaired drivers. In many cases, the reason given for these additional sanctions is because an average person would have passed out from that much alcohol.

“PEOPLE THINK THAT YOU CAN’T FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY SINCE THE LAW WAS CHANGED.
THAT IS FALSE.
BANKRUPTCY IS STILL AN OPTION FOR PEOPLE STRUGGLING WITH DEBT.”
-Byron M. Richardson
You can stop the harassing phone calls. You can keep creditors from repossessing your car. You can keep your home.
While the law did change in 2005, filing for bankruptcy is still an option for good people that are overwhelmed with substantial debt that they cannot repay.
The changes in the law do make it more time consuming to file for bankruptcy, but you can still get most of the same protections in the new law that you could receive under the old law. Honest, hardworking people need a second chance. You should only decide to file for bankruptcy after speaking with an attorney that can review your situation and determine that bankruptcy is right for you. I offer that conversation to you for free.

DUI
& Driving Under The Influence:
DUI Conviction Example :
Joseph, 21, of Montgomery, Alabama: First conviction, three years' formal probation, $2,323 fine, two days in jail, first-offender drinking-driver program, driver's license restricted.
Field Sobriety Test :
An increasingly used field sobriety test involves having the suspect breathe into a small, handheld breath testing device. Called variously a PAS (preliminary alcohol screening) or PBT (preliminary breath test), the units are small, inexpensive versions of their larger, more sophisticated instruments at the police stations, the EBTs (evidentiary breath test). Whereas the EBTs usually employ infrared spectroscopy, the PAS units use a relatively simple electrochemical (fuel cell) technology. Their purpose, along with other FSTs, is to assist the officer in determining probable cause for arrest. Although because of their relative inaccuracy they were never intended to be used in court for proving actual blood-alcohol concentration, some courts have begun to admit them as evidence of BAC.
