DUI (driving under the influence) is a serious criminal offense accounting for many motor vehicle accidents, injuries and deaths per year in California. Driving under the influence can be charged if a person is stopped by law enforcement under suspicion of being legally intoxicated and fails a field sobriety test or has a BAC (blood alcohol content) at or above 0.08%. Even when a person refuses a breath, blood or urine test they can still be booked and face DUI charges in a court of law.
