Massachusetts OUI Drugs

If you have been arrested for Operating Under The Influence of Drugs, you may be worried about the potential consequences of such a charge. These cases are very similar to standard OUI cases and can result in very serious sentencing. Fortunately, there are many defenses to an OUI drug charge and your Massachusetts DUI attorney can help you beat these accusations.

In Massachusetts, an officer may arrest you if he believes you were driving poorly due to the use of an illegal drug or a legal prescription drug illegal to use while driving. If you were on a prescription drug, your Massachusetts DUI lawyer may be able to have the charges dropped by showing the prosecution has failed to bring in a Drug Recognition Expert. These experts are required in an OUI prescription drug case because their testimony is crucial in proving the drug you took is illegal to use while driving. If a drug is not specifically listed under Massachusetts criminal laws, your case may be invalid. Speak with a qualified Massachusetts DUI attorney to learn more.

When you have been charged with a drug-related OUI, your Massachusetts DUI lawyer will question the legality of the police stop, the legality of the police search of your person or car and we will fight all evidence showing you were on drugs. The prosecution must be able to prove you took drugs that were illegal to use while driving, that the drugs impaired your ability to drive, that you were driving at the time you were arrested and that the place your were driving was a public road. If any of these factors are missing in their case, they will not be able to convict you.
