LEGAL TIPS

DUI Attorney General :
Attorney General Troy King said he had considered appealing the ruling to the state Supreme Court but that the appellate court's findings made an appeal unlikely to succeed. Instead, King will ask the Legislature next year to change the law.

DUI & Driving Under The Influence:
DUI Blood Alcohol Content :
BAC is most conveniently measured as a simple percent of alcohol in the blood by weight. It does not depend on any units of measurement. In Europe it is usually expressed as milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. However, 100 milliliters of blood weighs essentially the same as 100 milliliters of water, which weighs precisely 100 grams. Thus, for all practical purposes, this is the same as the simple dimensionless BAC measured as a percent. Since 2002 it has been illegal in all 50 US states to drive with a BAC that is 0.08% or higher.

DUI Conviction Penalty :
Juan, 31, of Birmingham, Alabama: First conviction, three years' formal probation, $2,323 fine, 20 days in jail, first-offender drinking-driver program, driver's license restricted.

Federal DUI Regulations :
Federal Air Regulation 91.17 (14 CFR 91.17) prohibits pilots from flying aircraft with an alcohol level of 0.04% or more, and/or within eight hours of consuming alcohol, and/or while under the impairing influence of any drug.[3] The same prohibition applies to any other crewmembers on duty aboard the aircraft (flight attendants, etc.). Some airlines impose additional restrictions, and many pilots also impose stricter standards upon themselves. Commercial pilots found to be in violation of regulations are typically fired or resign voluntarily, and they may lose their pilot certificates and/or be subject to criminal prosecution under Federal or State laws, effectively ending their careers.
