there are lots of possible defenses that
can be raised in a DUI case some of the
key defenses could be you know my client
may have had
you know alcoholic beverages or perhaps
this ingested drugs or alcohol at some
point before the DUI stop or the DUI
arrest but that does not necessarily
mean that they were under the influence
so that in itself is a defense right
there that my client may have been
driving and may have ingested drugs or
alcohol but was not necessarily Under
the Influence involuntarily intoxication
is always a defense it’s rare that in
this world we find somebody that has
been intoxicated involuntarily but it
does happen and that is a clear defense
and also other defenses just simply
could be that there was no driving
behavior that was observed by the police
officers They Came Upon you because
there was an accident or maybe you had
passed out on the side of the road while
driving an officer showed up hours later
there needs to be evidence of driving
behavior simply the fact that you were
found in a vehicle does not necessarily
mean that you were driving Under the
Influence simply because of the fact
that you were found in a vehicle and you
were under the influence does not
necessarily mean that you were driving
that vehicle in a way that was affected
by the influence of drugs and or alcohol
