“Well, actually let’s talk about DUI in the context of all the changes in the drug laws? Because in a DUI, it’s more than just alcohol, isn’t it? I mean, it can be drugs, that can be the prescription drugs, illegal drugs. So, tell me about the differences between the two.”
Regina Tsombanakis– Criminal Defense Attorney – Broward County, FL
“The charge is ‘Under The Influence’, and most of us, assume it’s alcohol, but under the influence covers a big range. For instance, some of the things that we’ve come up with, especially with the drug testing, some drugs stay in your system for more than 48 hours, sometimes more than a week. And you know, if you’re stopped and you give a test, that that would show up and would be considered under the influence because it showed up.
And then it would be on you, that…to prove that you weren’t under the influence. So, and that includes anything, prescription, just because it’s a prescription, you don’t have to be out partying to be under the influence. You can take a pill all the way home and think you’re going to make it. And then something happens and you’re delayed, and you get stopped, and you’re under the influence.”
