Additional charges ca be placed if the sample is sent to the Police lab, and it comes back positive for over the legal limit, drugs, combination, etc.

Think of it this way. They can't arrest you without proof. The proof is sitting on a shelf somewhere waiting to be tested. Once they have the proof, they can then charge you. Being immediately arrested for DUI is only to lock you up a few hours until you are sober. The big problem comes when you get the citation and go to court.

The simple answer is yes. WHen your blood test results come back, if your BAC (blood alcohol content) is greater than the state legal limit, they can still press charges against you, and arrest you for Driving with intoxicated.

No. each issues have a cost, attempt. the quantity of attempt which you positioned into getting/doing some thing does then make certain the value. in case you pass dumpster diving, choosing up trash in the back of shops, then you definately do no longer pay in money,yet you do pay in attempt and risk. there is often the risk which you get sick or get harm from doing it. Sharing a grin, value little attempt, yet you nonetheless ought to make the attempt of smiling.

They might be able to since they could not determine it without the blood test... What was you thinking anyways of drinking and driving?! dont you know that you could have killed yourself or worse some innocent bystander because you was too cheap to call a taxi... Ok I am done and I hope you have learned your lesson

Why not? If you murder someone and you don't get arrested there and then, can they charge you with murder at a later time? Of course. All they need is enough evidence. They may not bother pursuing it, but nothing can prevent them form doing it.

you got what we call in louisiana a break, chances are you were in a corporation when you got this violation, corporations dont get money for dwi's, so they give careless operations, now that you been given tickets you shouldnt have to worry about getting a dwi, but in most cases a careless operation ticket is the closest thing to a dwi as far as for driving records, hope this helped
