Each of our participants have been affected by a death caused by a drunk driver. We want to discourage you from drinking and driving. If you are stopped under suspicion of DUI you do have rights. Our guest attorney Francis Springer is going to tell us what those rights are. https://www.springerlawoffice.com/
If youâd like some extra information about Driving Under the Influence, check out the Mississippi Bar website and their page about driving under the influence. Like did you know if a driver is under 21, they are defined as intoxicated if their blood alcohol concentration level of 0.02?
https://www.msbar.org/for-the-public/consumer-information/driving-under-the-influence/
A person who is over 21 and gets a DUI, if thereâs anyone under 16 in the car, the driver is guilty of Child Endangerment also. I hope this hits home to anyone who considers driving after drinking.Weâve talked about what could happen if youâre charged after a first offense of DUI but did you know: states talk to each other. If you get a DUI in another state, Mississippi still knows about it. So donât have a first offense then you wonât have a second.https://law.justia.com/codes/mississippi/2015/title-63/chapter-11/section-63-11-30
