In Maryland, you may be arrested not only for DUI, but also for DWI. It is common knowledge that .08 is the BAC above which you can expect to be arrested for DUI.  Some people are surprised when they find themselves arrested when the BAC test they took only registered at .07 or even lower.  They are then charged (most often) with a DWI or driving while impaired.  So if you are asked to take a breathalyzer test and you register a number like .06 or .07, you are almost certainly going to be arrested and charged.  If you have any alcohol in your system when the officer pulls you over, it is at the officer’s discretion whether or not to arrest you.

So the campaigns that say buzzed driving is drunk driving are true not only from a public safety standpoint.  Even if you are not “over the limit” (.08), you can still be “under arrest.”  It is very important that you get a good Baltimore DUI Lawyer on your side in order to fight for your rights and make the best analysis of your case.  Defending a DUI charge can be very complicated and you need to get the right counsel on your side in order to get the best possible outcome.
