Out-of-state DUI charges can be a major inconvenience for anyone. Here you are, trying to enjoy the brief weekend off from work by going out of your home state, but while trying to immerse yourself in the Las Vegas nightlife, you get pulled over for suspected drunk driving. Not only do you have to deal with some rather stringent DUI penalties from somewhere you don't live in, but you'll also have to worry about a potential DUI case from your home state.
If you're a visitor to Las Vegas and you're facing a potential DUI conviction, you can get in touch with a
Las Vegas DUI attorney who can offer help you out. He or she might offer the following ways of
defending against an out-of-state DUI charge in Nevada.
- error in the field sobriety test. Steps may have been skipped or done incorrectly.
- you were involuntarily intoxicated, either by something you consumed or some medicine you took in a rush.
- you are driving drunk under duress, like a sudden emergency where you were the only one capable of driving.
- a police misconduct case where the apprehending officer was looking to extort on you
DUI will always be frowned upon and penalized—no matter what city you travel to. Always remember to watch your alcohol intake, and don't drink and drive, no matter what state you're in.
