dui in san diego

If you are pulled over for a driving under the influence in San Diego, there is a good chance you will be arrested. When you are arrested for a DUI in San Diego, the law enforcement officer that arrests you will take you to the police station. While there, he or she may have you blow into a breath test machine or they may take your blood.

At the station, you may be kept in a holding cell. Sometimes, the holding cell will be full of other individuals who were also arrested for DUI. Some of these people may decide to bail out. Those who do not bail out will typically only be held for about 8 hours. The law enforcement officers want to hold you in custody for long enough so that you are sober by the time they release you. Given the likelihood that you will be getting out within a relatively short time, it might be wise for you to not bail out.

The money that you save on bail bonds fees can be put to very good use when you retain an experienced DUI defense law firm to help you. You will be facing a likely DMV suspension as well as a criminal case where you face the possibility of jail time, high fines, the loss of your driving privilege and possible loss of your automobile insurance.
