Elements of a DUI Case
When charged with a DUI or OUI, the prosecutor must prove three things:
- That you were operating a motor vehicle
- That you were on a public way.
- That you were under the influence of alcohol.
While these may seem easy for the prosecutor to prove, each element can have complications that are important for an experienced Hingham DUI attorney to look into.
Operation
What is operation? Operation has been defined as having control of a motor vehicle when some part of that vehicle is running. This can be easy to prove when the car is seen driving, but the lines can get blurry when someone is parked or is found outside of their car – even if no one else is around.
Public way
What is a public way? A public way is defined as a street or road that the public have the right to access. Driving on Route 3? That’s a public way. What about a long driveway? Or a private road? Those are not public ways.
Intoxication
There are many ways that the prosecutor would like to prove intoxication. They can use blood tests, breathalyzer tests, or simply the observations of a police officer. However, none of these are infallible – especially the observations of a police officer when there are field sobriety tests. An experienced Hingham DUI Attorney has the tools to attack these tests and has been successful in having blood tests, breathalyzer tests, and fields sobriety tests thrown out.
