- Ignition Interlock Devices - Among the many penalties that you could face for a criminal conviction, you may be required to install an ignition interlock device. This is a machine that acts as a breathalyzer in your vehicle, and will not allow you to start your car if it detects any alcohol on your breath.
- Driver's License Suspension and Revocation - DUI convictions often result in serious penalties. One of which is almost always a driver's license suspension sentence. This can last anywhere from a few months to several years depending on your charge, and you will need to reapply in the case of driver's license revocation.
- Field Sobriety or Breath Tests - Officers must have probable cause in order to arrest you for DUI, and they can usually obtain this through a field sobriety test. After an arrest, you will usually be required to submit to a chemical test such as a breath test in order to determine an accurate BAC.
