DUI Tennessee Drug & Alcohol Rehab Treatment
The state of Tennessee has quite a unique love hate relationship with its liquor laws. The state was home to the USA’s first moonshiners, and was also one of the first states to debate the prohibition laws. The state was famous for settlers at the time to travel there to avoid President Washington’s liquor tax. Tennessee is very famous for its sipping whiskey, and the Jack Daniels distillery. This distillery is one of the oldest in the country. The state does; however, have very restrictive DUI laws within the USA.
The state of Tennessee can charge a person with a DUI and also with a DUID (driving while under the influence of drugs), or they can charge you with both, depending on the circumstances. DUI in Tennessee means Driving While Intoxicated, meaning not having the normal use of your mental and physical abilities due to any form of drug or alcohol use. Every citizen who does receive a license in Tennessee automatically gives consent for BAC, or Blood Alcohol Content Tests. This means that your blood, breath, and urine can be tested if you are under the suspicion of being under the influence of either drugs or alcohol. So people addited to drugs has to be careful because it will also apply to them
The ‘per-se’ law of Tennessee is, if your blood alcohol content is that of .08%, you can be charged with a criminal offense. This percentage constitutes that of being impaired, and you can also be prosecuted while driving under the influence. This can only happen if you are proven to have been driving in an unsafe manner.
After you have been charged in the state of Tennessee, you will have to face the criminal courts and the Tennessee Department of Public Safety (DOPS). When this happens you will be offered a formal hearing; yet, if you do not appear at the hearing you will lose your license, and you will have ten days to request an administrative hearing to try and prevent your license from being lost.
The state of Tennessee also has an out of state Drivers License Compact Agreement. This means that if you are an out of state driver, and you are charged and convicted for a DUI in the state of Tennessee. The state will report this charge to your home state, where you will face other consequences, which could mean different fines or having your license suspended.
