    “Because laws differ from state to state, there is no consistent punishment for a DUI conviction. Instead, the sentence depends on whether or not the suspect pleaded guilty, BAC at the time of arrest, whether he or she is a first-time offender, if anyone was injured or property was damaged, additional charges, and if other drugs were also involved. For first time offenders, punishment can include some combination of a fine, jail time, tickets, probation, community service and a suspended driver’s license. Repeat offenders are more likely to lose their license, go to jail, have ignition interlocks placed on their car and be ordered to attend alcohol counseling. In some states, drunk drivers who are…

    Drunk Driving

    • 1225 Words
    • 5 Pages

    In most jurisdictions a measurement such as a blood alcohol content in excess of a specific threshold level, such as 0.05% or 0.08% defines the offense, with no need to prove impairment or being under the influence of alcohol. In some jurisdictions, there is an aggravated category of the offense at a higher level e.g. 0.12%. In most countries, anyone who is convicted of injuring or killing someone while under the influence of alcohol or drugs can be heavily fined, as in France, in addition to being given a lengthy prison sentence. Some jobs have their own rules and BAC limits, for example commercial pilot, and the Federal Railroad Administration has a 0.04% limit for train crew. Some jurisdictions have multiple levels of BAC; for example, the state of California has a 0.08% BAC limit, which is lowered to 0.04% if the operator holds a commercial driver's license. The California BAC limit is 0.01% for those younger than 21 years of age and those on probation for a previous DUI conviction. Some large corporations have their own rules; Union Pacific Railroad has their own BAC limit of 0.02% that, if violated during a random test or a for-cause test — for example, after a traffic accident — can result in termination of employment with no chance of future re-hire.…

    In the case of alcohol, a drunk driver's level of intoxication is typically determined by a measurement of blood alcohol content or BAC. A BAC measurement in excess of a specific threshold level, such as 0.05% or 0.08%, defines the criminal offense with no need to prove impairment. In some jurisdictions, there is an aggravated category of the offense at a higher BAC level, such as 0.12%.

    Criminal, the very first word that pops in to my head when words Felonies and Misdemeanors come into mind. Federal government has laws in place they also have stern disciplinary protocols in place. When you get caught committing a crime you are usually being arrested and at that point are considered to be convicted of a crime punishable by, again the stern protocols in place by the government. Well you’re not really convicted until you’ve been set in front of a judge and charged; however, unless you plan to, I don’t know say run, resist arrest or maybe attempt to escape the local prison they first escort you to process of you and your paperwork, - that is what will eventually happens. Depending on the severity of the crime you could be charged with punishment imposed accordingly. This is where Felonies and Misdemeanors come in there the type of crimes you can be charged with if arrested. “For every action there is a repercussion” that’s something my father always use to tell me. There are a lot of different crimes so servable punishment to accommodate each, felonies are the more serious category while Misdemeanors the lesser serious category.…
