DWI Charges in Camden County
Camden drunk driving charges are legally referred to as DWI for Driving While Intoxicated or DUI for Driving Under the Influence. No distinction is made between the two terms, nor between intoxication by alcohol or drugs. Penalties for a first offense are very severe and each successive offense will result in increasingly severe punishments. Even with no prior DWI convictions, you will be subject to license suspension, expensive fines and surcharges, mandatory alcohol classes and the possibility of an ignition interlock device and time in county jail.
Law enforcement in Camden will seek to prove a DWI/DUI case by one of two methods:
(1) Scientific tests such as a blood, urine or breath test demonstrating a blood alcohol content of at least 0.08% or the presence of mood altering drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, Oxycodone, Ambien, heroin or another drug; or
(2) Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (“SFST”) or Drug Recognition Testing (“DRE”) demonstrating that the motorist was impaired by alcohol or drugs.
Our attorneys will review the administration of these tests, results, circumstances and the facts surrounding your traffic stop and subsequent arrest. We use this information and our knowledge and skills in this field to identify and reveal any procedural errors or other violations that render the charges flawed.
