Being Charged with a DUI in Nebraska
There are two ways to be convicted of driving drunk in Nebraska. The first is to register a blood alcohol content of .08% or higher through a breath or blood test. This establishes a violation of ‘per se’ law.
However, Nebraska does not have a set BAC that needs to be exceeded in order to be convicted of DUI, so an officer can initiate an arrest based only on a perception of physical or mental impairment due to alcohol, drugs or a combination of both. Usually field sobriety tests, driving violations and your physical appearance during the traffic stop will be used as ‘evidence’ against you in court.
Your driving skills may not have been affected and your arrest may even have been based on subjectivity. This gives Omaha DUI attorney Nick Glasz the opportunity to question the probable cause for the traffic stop, challenge evidence, review equipment maintenance and calibration records and review the arrest record for errors in procedure and policy.
The goal is to make the prosecution prove its point beyond a reasonable doubt. If it cannot, there is a chance of getting your Douglas County DUI charges reduced, or your case diverted or even dismissed.
Will I lose my Driver’s License after a DUI arrest?
After an arrest for DUI in Douglas County, Nebraska, the Department of Motor Vehicles has the authority to suspend or revoke your driver’s license. This is an administrative case filed in civil court, and different from the criminal case. It is still important to have legal representation, as evidence and testimony will be presented with the intent of taking away your license.
You can petition for an appeals hearing in an effort to keep your driving privileges. You must request a hearing within 10 days of the date of your arrest or your license will be automatically suspended.
Having legal guidance can help. For immediate help with your license, contact Douglas County DUI attorney Nick Glasz and ask him to petition for a hearing and represent you. You only have 10 days, so call now.
What are the Penalties for a DUI in Douglas County?
