Criminal Law: DUI / DWI
There are many different types of driving offences, all of which hold different penalties and consequences for those guilty of committing them. However, one of the most serious, impactful, and expensive driving offences is DUI/DWI. Being found guilty of this particular driving offence can result in serious consequences and can have stringent implications for the future. There are many undesirable effects of being charged with DUI/DWI, and these can include:
DUI Law Punishments
Author: Information Association, LLC
It's no surprise that current DUI Law mandates that DUI punishments cause problems in your personal life in the short term.
Strict Liability
Author: Evan Bailyn
One of the underlying precepts of criminal law is a Latin maxim that holds 'there can be no guilt without a guilty mind'.
Statute of Limitations
Author: Evan Bailyn
There was no statute of limitations in common law. It is a statutory creation and is not drawn from an individual's inherent rights but from "legislative grace."
Parties to a Crime
Author: Evan Bailyn
Common law gave broad definition to parties to a felony as follows:
• Principal in the first degree - he engaged in the felonious conduct;
• Principal in the second degree - he was present, aided and abetted its commission;
• Accessory before the fact - he was not present but aided and abetted prior to the commission of the felony;
• Accessory after the fact - he was not present but aided thereafter in order to protect the principal(s)
Omission or Inaction
Author: Evan Bailyn
Liability for most crimes is based on the performance of an act.
