Unlike most charges, a DUI arrest means that you have two major issues to deal with right away, the criminal DUI charge and the administrative DMV driver license suspension.

On a first DUI offense, your driver license can be automatically suspended for four months. With a second DUI arrest, your license can be suspended for a full year. You need to act quickly to make sure you can continue driving to work, school, medical appointments, and other essential destinations.
If you decide to drive on a suspended license, you will be arrested and your car will be impounded. It can even be sold. Make sure you know what the law requires. Contact a driver license suspension lawyer today about your driving rights and privileges.

I did not give police permission to search my vehicle. Is this a violation of my rights and an illegal search?
In most cases no. Police need probable cause to suspect that the vehicle contains contraband or instrumentalities of a crime. There is a lesser expectation of privacy in vehicles and searches incident to an arrest are also allowed. Officers can search the entire passenger cabin, and in some cases may even open any containers and packages if there is probable cause that it may contain contraband. Proper probable cause is always a key issue for an attorney to explore.
