If you are stopped in a traffic stop and the officer arrests you under suspicion of driving under the influence, you will be offered a breath test or blood test. Failure to agree to the test will likely result in the automatic revocation of your driving privileges in the State of Oklahoma. Field sobriety tests may or may not be given you depending on the circumstances.
DUI and DWI are terms associated with alcohol (including 3.2 % beer) and drugs.
If you are ticketed for DUI or DWI or APC, you have only 15 days to file a request for hearing on the suspension of your license and/or modification of your driver's license. Failure to file the request timely will result in revocation of your driver's license.
DUI and DWI are no longer "automatic" convictions. There are scientific challenges to the evidence and standards that must be followed by law enforcement to make the blood-alcohol testing accurate and the arrest legal.
Also note that conviction of any drug crime will likely cause the revocation of your driver's license under Oklahoma law.
You must have counsel to plead your criminal case effectively to the
District Attorney and to plead your "license" case to DPS and to guide you in
the many options that may face you in this difficult time. I would welcome the
opportunity to assist you.
Recent & Noteworthy Investigations & Results
Evidence Suppressed; Case Dismissed in DUI with Great Bodily Harm. In June 2004, a Lincoln County judge suppressed critical blood evidence in a case alleging "great bodily harm" while operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol. (One alleged victim had her leg amputated and the other broke nearly every bone in his body). Without the blood evidence (which the defense also challenged on scientific grounds), there was no evidence to support a conviction. Bob Wyatt was co-counsel to D.C. Thomas in this contested criminal action which was set aside on the eve of jury trial.*
