DUI

If you got a DUI you were probably arrested, booked and posted a bond. An exceptions could be for a blood draw and a delayed result. A DUI can issue from drugs as well as alcohol. The legal limit for blood-alcohol concentration in New Mexico is .08. Depending on body weight this can result from 2-3 drinks.

When you get a DUI there are 2 cases going on at once.

    1) an administrative case by MVD to suspend your license

      2) the criminal charge in court It is critical that you attend to both of them. Each can result in a revoked license and an interlock.

It is critical that your rights be preserved and respected. There must be reasonable suspicion for the initial stop. There must be controlled testing. You must be given a statutory waiting period for a breathalyzer. The device must be properly calibrated. If there was a dash cam it must be activated. You should seek legal advice early on.
