Military DUI
Military DUI Attorney in San Diego
A DUI is considered a very serious offense in San Diego. When one is in the military, the consequences and ramifications of a DUI are all the more severe. When one compares a civilian DUI charge to a military DUI charge, there are a number of differences. When one is a member of the military, his or her case will be tried in military court. In military court, one need not have a BAC level of .08 percent or higher. If the court feels that the individual's BAC level may have impaired the ability to drive, he or she could face charges. It is possible to be convicted of a military DUI even if your BAC level was below the state limit. A person facing a military DUI must have an attorney that is highly skilled and knowledgeable in military law. In a civilian case, the individual may receive fines, loss of driving privileges for a specific period, jail time, probation and community service. In the case of a military DUI, the
penalties may be far more severe. In a military DUI, the penalties may include all of the following:
- Dishonorable discharge
- Pay deduction
- Rank reduction
- Fines
- Prison
- Loss of security clearance
