You can beat just about any DUI charge, THAT DOESNT INVOLVE an ACCIDENT if you have enough money. And beating the first one is advisable if you think there’s a chance you will get a second one. THAT’S where it gets hairy.
Just look at dui charges in different counties with similar populations if you think the revenue stream doesn’t play a big part in dui Enforcement.
If you think arbitrary BAC levels should be the deciding factor in charging a person with dui, you are ignoring some relevant facts. I’ve known guys who were a real danger driving if their BAC was not at a comfortable level FOR THEM.
Like Miles said, it’s a different deal for different people.
And... in Texas.... you can be charged with a dui with a BAC as low as .02. The .08 level is just prima facie evidence that needs no supporting evidence.
In most small towns the rich guys kid will get a ride home and the poor kid will go to jail no matter if the level is reduced or raised.
