What are some common but workable defenses against DUI charges in South Carolina?
Your lawyer will have to first evaluate the circumstances of your arrest and determine what the best route going forward is, and ultimately, your attorney may use any of the below defenses, or a combination of them (or a different defense altogether) when fighting your DUI charges on your behalf.
- You were illegally stopped.
- Law enforcement didn’t conduct tests, such as breathalyzer or field sobriety tests properly.
- The breathalyzer was defective and thereby rendered any results unusable in court.
- You were unlawfully stopped and arrested.
- The officer had no right to search your vehicle.
- You had a certain medical condition that prevented you from passing the breathalyzer or field sobriety test.
