Lukach Law, P.C. provides 5-star award-winning New Jersey DWI Defense in Deerfield Township and Upper Deerfield Township.
Were You Impaired?
The state prosecutor has to prove that whatever drug you took has made it so you couldn’t drive safely. You will be asked to provide the state with a blood or urine sample. A police officer trained as a Drug Recognition Evaluator (DRE) will ask if you will perform more testing once you arrive at the police station.
How Much Is In Your System?
The blood or urine sample will only reveal the presence of drugs or smoked marijuana; however, the results will not tell the officer or the court how much of the substance you still have in your system. Many drugs may show up in your system even though you experience no effects from them. The drug recognition expert, who has only 144 hours of training, is a bit less qualified than you might have guessed. A pharmacologist, by comparison, spends seven or more years training to determine how drugs affect people.
A Drug Recognition Expert assesses drug intoxication by checking the driver’s pulse rate, pupil size, and blood pressure. They will examine the arms to see if you have test needle marks. The observations of the DRE may be used as probable cause for your arrest on DUI charges and as evidence in court.
The problem is that many of the conditions the DRE looks for can also be due to fatigue, injury, or illness. The urine testing results are not known to be highly reliable, either. Therefore, knowing that a DUID charge can be successfully fought in court is essential.
