One of the most prevalent of all criminal offenses is DUI.   When a person is
arrested for drunk driving 2 things come into play.  First, the officer takes the
license from the accused and serves him or her with an official notice of the DMV's
intent to suspend, which is also a temporary license.  Many folks ignore the
importance of this document and falsely believe that they can simply do nothing
until they go to Court.  This is wrong.  If you want to save your license from an
automatic suspension that can last for a minimum of 4 months and up to 2 years,
you must contact the DMV and demand a hearing.  The purpose of this step is to
challenge the
administrative per se license confiscation that flows from the arrest.  
Defenses to the suspension can include the failure of the police officer to follow the
statutory regulations,  lack of probable cause to stop or arrest, and showing that
the driver was stopped while in the absorptive state and his/her BAC was lower at
the time of driving than it was at the time of testing, just to name a few.

The second step is the Tehachapi criminal case that will be brought against the
individual.  The foundation of the case will be the charge of Vehicle Code section
23152 which is broken down into 2 sub-charges, the "A" count and the "B" count.  
VC23152A is the common law offense of driving under the influence, also know as
driving while you are impaired either by alcohol or drugs or both.  The 23152B
allegation is driving with a .08% or more of alcohol in your blood.  Both vehicle
Code violations carry a potential jail sentence, a substantial fine, mandatory
completion of a DUI school for up to 18 months, among many other penalties.  The
good news is that with the help of a Tehachapi DUI Attorney the charges could
potentially be dropped, reduced or the penalty minimized.
